my greatest pet peeve, a thread: i keep my phone on 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, because i live alone and do not live with my son, so in case of emergencies, someone can always get in touch with me, or i can quickly get in touch with others...
not a week goes by without someone, usually an acquaintance, messaging or texting me after midnight or before 7am. note: not emergency related. i'm a light sleeper, so i get woken up in the middle of the night, and can't fall asleep again

do people just have no regard about disturbing you, at any time of day? zero consideration about how you would be affected? do they not stop to think that perhaps it's inappropriate to want to start a conversation pre-dawn?! aargh!
this trend is with men & women. so you've woken me up, now i need to stop fuming at 3am & explain boundaries to grown ass people?! i think people who grew up before cell phones, know the phone rules of when to call, and when not to call. house phone rules apply to text too!
also, while i'm on the topic, let's bring back office hours. initiating a business related conversation with me at 6pm, is not cool. just because you forgot to call me earlier, or your day hasn't ended, doesn't mean i'mavailable for you. wait for 9am sharp the next morning.
ugh! it has just happened again. "hi, i got your number from your friend..." a text that came in a 05h18... the audacity is amazing!
wow. it's even worse now that i know who it is. guys, just be considerate. communication should happen at your convenience, AND THEIRS! you really can't assume that things revolve around you. so annoyed.
