Telephone curfew? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

julian bozo · 03-14-2004, 07:47 PM

I'm serious

Ithought about this the other day. What do you think the latest time to call somebody should be?
Sometimes I call my sister at 11:00 p.m. She sounds like she is really tired. A few times she said I woke her up

My other sister and I are night people so 11:00 is no big deal to call. She's even called at 1:00a.m. Some of my friends say their parents don't like them getting calls past a certain time.What is all of your opinions?

Georgia's on my Mind · 03-14-2004, 07:50 PM

usually i dont call people past like 10:30, unless its an emergency

Chad22 · 03-14-2004, 07:54 PM

I Dont call anyone After 10. Although, Once I Talked On The Phone To Someone From about 9 PM To 5 AM.

Kazza · 03-14-2004, 07:57 PM

I wouldn't call it 'curfew' but just plain manners. I don't take any calls after 10pm unless is an emergency (a real one); one night my ex called me in the wee hrs of the morning just because he couldn't sleep and you don't want to know what I told him!

Don't you watch Curb Your Enthusiasm? The cutoff is 9 PM!

Titania · 03-14-2004, 10:50 PM

I was taught not to call after 9 pm or before 9 am unless it's urgent. The exception is if a friend tells me I can call the cell outside those times.

dawsongirl · 03-14-2004, 11:13 PM

I won't call anybody after 9, and I hate it when others do. Of course, I don't like getting phone calls anyway.

Ewan's My Man · 03-14-2004, 11:29 PM

well, one of my friends says i can call anytime, but i don't wanna wake up her parents...blah...i just don't touch the phone after 9, i hate it anyways.

If my friends have their own cell phone then I call them whenever I want to. If I call someone's house then I usually don't call after 10.

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 03-15-2004, 01:22 AM

I like never talk on the phone, but it depends on who the person is. Like if I know that they go to bed early then I won't, but if they stay up really late then I will. Like no one ever calls our house past 9:30 or 10, if someone does call past that time it's always my brother because he knows we're awake. If not, usually a wrong number.

robyrob · 03-15-2004, 08:25 AM

i like the 9 to 9 rule, although up until 10 isn't TOO bad

when my teenage nieces and nephews are around we get calls constantly from 11pm to 5 am - and when i get woken up at 3am to hear "uhhh, is Jessica there?" that's one of the few things that make me go ballistic

No calls past 9pm unless specified.

Cell phone, whenever.
Home phone, whenever they tell me to. I don't talk much on the phone anymore. I dont really have much time to.
