Are people who leave mobiles on while sleeping stupid and extremely immature?

Ok...

We have the exception of those who essentially need to. Be it for children, visitors etc.

Whatever the case, fair enough.

But what about individuals who just leave their phone on while going to bed, some of whom don't have a job even? No need for anything for sure during night time, only hope in vain that some miracle will occur if they leave it on.

I'm just bringing this up because witnessed a large amount of people giving out about this lately. I just think if you are thick enough to leave it on then it's completely your own fault. No point acting like the 5 year old mental age you maybe are in reality and giving out to someone who texted you early so that you'd have it when you woke up, not knowing how simple you were leaving something that will only ever wake you with bs unless it's your alarm, which in fact is easily set to sound even on silent or offline mode.

I leave mine on.

Booty calls.

You're ugly though, you wouldn't understand.

Who gives a fcuk really? Do you unplug your house phone at night too?

SV · 02-11-2009 08:53PM

I always turn my phone off at night time.
Don't see any reason why not.. usually have it most of the day too

minidazzler · 02-11-2009 08:53PM

I leave mine on, but then again I don't get up until late in the day so it needs to be, in case someone wants to contact me for beer, or sex, usually beer though

Latchy · 02-11-2009 08:55PM

On - just in case

Actually unless it's a case of ' do not disturb ' I just forget to switch mine off

MagicMarker · 02-11-2009 08:55PM

I leave mine on, not because I'm hoping to receive a call, but because there's no reason to turn it off.

Slow Show · 02-11-2009 08:56PM

I leave mine on, is that a problem?

GLaDOS · 02-11-2009 08:56PM

Just as easy to leave it on, I fail to see how it is possibly "Extremely stupid and immature".

I use my phone as my alarm but even when I don't I still leave it on, turning it off doesn't give me magical powers or anything.

LEIN · 02-11-2009 08:56PM

Leave it on. Don't know any tards that would call or text in the middle of the night anyway!

stripysocks85 · 02-11-2009 08:57PM

I leave mine on, albeit sometimes on silent which undoubtedly defeats the purpose of leaving it on at all.

One of the reasons I leave it on: I live 3 hours away from my parents so God forbid if anything should happen, it's the only method of contact I'd have.

Two words : ALARM CLOCK

Get a job hippie !!

02-11-2009 08:57PM

Leave it on silent when I'm asleep

melekalikimaka · 02-11-2009 08:57PM

i think its silly to turn it off tbh

Ruu_Old · 02-11-2009 08:57PM

What if you don't have a landline? Really need to put a wee bit more thought into the thread.

Agricola · 02-11-2009 08:57PM

If i thought of it, id turn it off at night. It saves the battery, so I dont find meself constantly having to charge it.

I knew a guy whose phone was NEVER off. It went from a state of either been in his pocket or plugged in to charge at night. The only people ever called him were me and his mammy!

Rabies · 02-11-2009 08:58PM

It stays on.
Needed for work

Kiera · 02-11-2009 08:58PM

Leave mine on silent.

Joey the lips · 02-11-2009 09:04PM

No. but this thread is!

LEIN · 02-11-2009 09:07PM

Alarm still work even if phone is switched off. Try it now, it really works!

*Have only tried this with Nokia phones*

sam34 · 02-11-2009 09:12PM

i have a work mobile which i turn off at night.

i leave my personal phone on 24/7, unless im on a plane.

the reason is that my parents are both elderly, and while they are in good health i still like to be available to them should they need me urgently.

pikachucheeks · 02-11-2009 09:14PM

I always leave mine on at night.
Takes ages for my messages to come through if my phone's been off. My phone won't let me send messages for ages after I turn it on again as well, so it's easier to just leave it on all the time.

NoQuarter · 02-11-2009 09:14PM

I leave my phone on 24/7 because i cant be arsed turning it off, what difference does leavin it on at night have?? Like if i switch it off tonight will i be smarter and more mature in the morning?? Must try that!

02-11-2009 09:18PM

are the same ones who leave it on crying out of them about being woken up early in the morning etc?

Your thread fails, you can't turn back now.

Fin.

On silent and charging for the morning when the alarm goes off.

Immaturity doesn't really feature much OP.

Nope.

Never turn my mobile off actually, also use it as an alarm.

Still works when phone is on silent though.

If I'm asleep and don't want to be distrubed - my phone is on silent.
I can't stand when anyone whinges about receiving a text/call when they are asleep, put it on silent ffs.

Conor108 · 02-11-2009 09:29PM

People turn phones off at night? Why? Your just gonna turn it back on in the morning

Ann22 · 02-11-2009 09:30PM

What's the problem leaving it on? I use mine for the alarm but why is it stupid? Do you think it's risky 'cos of the waves emitting from it? I'd never think to turn it off anyway. No one texts or rings in the middle of the night, if anyone did it'd be important.
