Do you switch off cellphone during weekend?

revell · 23-09-2011 9:21am #1

I do. Because I do not want to be disturbed during my OWN time. If someone wants to talk to me - go f*** off and wait until Monday.

Btw, I never answer the door after I was attacked by a stranger at my door step ten years ago.:mad:

chin_grin · 23-09-2011 9:23am

Mo-bile. It's called a mobile heeee-or boss.

I leave mine on in case of an emergency. Because you know I'd like to be there for family\friends.

Are you the forever alone guy?

Nobody would want to ring you by the sounds of things anyway

py2006 · 23-09-2011 9:25am

Your friends must love you. Unless its a business phone?

Would you not just get a work and private mobile? Work one off on friday 5 pm and use your private one during weekend?...
Is it what everyone is doing?

Sykk · 23-09-2011 9:32am

cellphone

No, mine is always on and within reaching distance. I've become terribly reliant on technology

I cannot afford a second phone. It is not my fault so why I should buy a second phone?

hondasam · 23-09-2011 9:33am

Why bother having a mobile phone if it's switched off, work phone yes turn it off.

Then stop using your private phone for work, I refuse to give out my private number for anything work related. And if any collegues call me on my private number during work about work, I do not answer. If I need to make a work related call during work hours I wait untill I get into the office to do so.

I would ask your employer if he wants to provide you with a corporate phone, if you are expected to work on the go or out of the office they should provide you with a phone to do so and not expect you to use your own one!

Can you play it on the PC?

Firefox11 · 23-09-2011 9:57am

Yeah..it's not the same though. Prefer slinging those birds on a touch screen.

Can you not put the phone into Airplane mode? Turns off phone function but leaves things like music/games/wifi still available?

MrFrisp · 23-09-2011 10:02am

I leave My phone on over the weekends...

I do turn it off at night though..Every night.

Isn't it up to the prison warden to switch it off, along with the Playstation, DVD player, plasma TV.........

$hit, do they have all these? I do not have any of these:(

wildlifeboy · 23-09-2011 11:54am

why would you switch your phone off at the weekend? how would you know where your mates are going for pints? or where your missus wants to meet you? or millions of other fun things that you would miss out on

cyrusdvirus · 23-09-2011 11:55am

Mine only gets turned off at night twice a year. Myself and some colleagues from thr UK play phone tag when on company nights out. The drunker you are, and the later you make the call the better it is.

Tonight is one of those nights. Which means, that despite the reminder to turn it off, i'll forget to and be woken at about 3 or 4 by a bunch of drunken English and Irish people shouting at me, and giving out for me not being with them.... despite me not working in their company.

Or else I'll remember and there will be an abusive voice mail in the morning!

I don't meet friends during weekend. I don't have a missus. I don't have a million fun things to do during weekend.

punk77 · 23-09-2011 12:19pm

I only turn my phone off when me and the missus are having sex. Must be,at least,twice a year

biko · 23-09-2011 12:22pm

No, how will people be able to get a hold of me if I turn my phone off?
Are you now referring to some work "cellphone"?

Leave your phone switched and friends might ask you out.
you might as least get a wrong number, strike up a conversation.
Live dangerously for once and leave it on this weekend.
