When is "Late" - too late for you?

Biggins · 31-03-2010 12:27PM #1

Was in bed last night and the phone rang at 11.45.
A muppet rang me at that time wanting to know "How do I get my email?"
Now at that time of the night, I expect such late calls to be about accidents, deaths or other emergencies.
Am I fair in expecting that its too feckin' late to be ringing about silly stuff that can wait till the next day?

What time is "late" - too late to be ringing or calling with the rest of forum?

orourkeda · 31-03-2010 12:29PM

I dont answer the phone to people who cant receive an e-mail at any time of the day

Degag · 31-03-2010 12:30PM

Probably say about 10.30pm myself, unless it was an emergency....

Joey the lips · 31-03-2010 12:30PM

Have kids.... golden rule. No ringing the door bell past nine. No phone calls after 10. Text messages 11.

Emergencies ring her brother....

NothingMan · 31-03-2010 12:31PM

If it's work related then anytime after 6 is too late. If it's one of my idiot sisters after infecting her laptop with stupid Facebook Apps again then I guess i'll answer anytime but one day i'll start charging the cnuts!

Kiera · 31-03-2010 12:32PM

It really depends. If its work related then anytime after 5.30 is too late. If its family/loved one then its never "too late". In saying that, i put my phone on silent when going to bed

Yeah id say that's late unless Your out drinking:) I suppose anything past 10.30pm would be late!!

Hagar · 31-03-2010 12:32PM

Anytime after the start of the match is too late.

Minstrel27 · 31-03-2010 12:34PM

After 9pm I do not ring anyone unless they send a text message or let me know online that they are still awake.

Some nights I am in bed by 9.30 and I have had people ringing me for stupid reasons. It is very inconsiderate. Most people seem to think that because they are awake then everyone else is too.

cafecolour · 31-03-2010 12:35PM

Depends. My friends know my general schedule and are better off ringing me at 1 in the morning than 9 in the morning

I'd never ring someone before 12 pm or after 10 pm unless it was prearranged (ie I was meeting up with them). If I wanted to contact someone outside those times who I thought might be up, I'd send a text.

poisonated · 31-03-2010 12:35PM

I would say after 23:30 is too late.

KingLoser · 31-03-2010 12:35PM

I got a house phone (have the phone line for ADSL anyway..) for emergencies, and just turn my mobile off when it's too late.

GLaDOS · 31-03-2010 12:36PM

I don't have a too late.

I do, however, have a too early and if I'm not in college that's any time before noon

ibarelycare · 31-03-2010 12:37PM

As long as my phone is on, it's not too late to ring me. I always turn it off when I go to bed though, so don't have to worry about annoying phone calls!

As for me ringing people...it depends on the person. Some of my friends stay up really late on week nights and I know I can ring them anytime.

Riamfada · 31-03-2010 12:37PM

About 2 weeks

3qsmavrod5twfe · 31-03-2010 12:37PM

Past 5 is too late for work related crap

Past 10 is late for phone calls from the auld fella asking me to explain for the umpteenth time how to reset his screen resolution after making a balls of it through "messing around"

It's never too late for a booty call.

If the Apothecary's bottle is empty then it's too late...

Theta · 31-03-2010 12:47PM

To late is anytime after I fall asleep but most nights thes prob 1 or 2am.

WindSock · 31-03-2010 12:47PM

I'd say after 10. Well in the summer it is still bright between 9-10 so I would hardly call that late. If someone called me after 11.30 about their emails, I would tell them to feck off.

Doop · 31-03-2010 12:48PM

I dont really have one i guess, I do have a problem that I will always aanswer the phone regardless of what time it is, but I do get to hear funny stories of what the latest crazy situation mates find themselves in.

Regular crap if its after 11 dont bother

bonerm · 31-03-2010 12:51PM

There's no such thing AS late for me. Basically if I'm awake then I'm on. However, Once I sleep I really sleep and no phone is waking up me up anyway so ring all you like. Similarily I have no compunction to answer a ringing phone so if I'm awake and in bed and I hear the phone ringing then I'm not getting up to answer it.

Used to go with a girl who wouldn't accept phonecalls after 10pm and the best part was she wouldn't allow TEXT-messages after this time either, in case "the bipping of the phone might wake her up". She was a lot of work. Got rid of her pretty quick I'm glad to say.

Well different people have different schedules but I think the general 'too late' time is after 10pm, depending on who it is you're calling. I only used to get home from work at 10.30, so I'd text my boyfriend and a few of my late working friends then, but I realised most people were getting ready for bed at that hour. I don't usually text after 9 or so, unless it's really important or I'm meant to be meeting up with them.

Gummy Panda · 31-03-2010 12:51PM

I hate calls early in the morning. It's annoying

Jet Black · 31-03-2010 12:55PM

After 3am on non work days would be too late. Work days after 9pm. I normally get up at 4am for work and dont get home until 6pm. I cant turn my phone off either because of work so could be called or text at 1am on a work day.

andy1981 · 31-03-2010 12:56PM

No one else think PREGNANT?!!

jester77 · 31-03-2010 12:57PM

Depends on who is calling

Wazdakka · 31-03-2010 12:57PM

All of you foolish people who seem to have work ringing you after hours..
Verrrrry few people in my office have my number.. And they know not to use it except if it's an emergency...
And were talking a, something blew up type of emergency.

I don't really have a too late for my family and friends.
My phone is always on 24/7 and never on silent.
I get the odd drunken 3am midweek phone call from one of my currently unemployed mates, but it's rare.

I wouldn't really bat an eyelid at anyone ringing me up untill 1am during the week.
I'm normally up till then anyway.

billymitchell · 31-03-2010 01:02PM

I dont think its ever too late to ring me, but I do have time when I consider it too late to be bothered answering.
Work about 8pm weekdays, except Friday.
Friends would depend on the day, but I would say 11 weekdays, weekends doesnt matter
Family can ring anytime. If they are ringing late, i know its important!!

What time is "late" - too late to be ringing or calling with the rest of forum?

Did your reply have "arse" somewhere in it?

For interesting stuff, there's no such thing as late, but for everything else it's 2pm.

Novella · 31-03-2010 01:06PM

I don't have a "too late". Wouldn't really mind someone ringing me at anytime. I do put my phone on silent when I go to sleep though, so good luck to them!

When is "Late" - too late for you?
