Phone Call Time Etiquette?

[downshift_me]

Do you wait until a certain time in the morning to call someone or not call after a certain time at night? I "ass"umed it was pretty common, but apparently, not.

depends on who it is and what their work schedule is like.

Etiquette, in general, doesn't really exist in this 24/7 society.

Well, a 7:15AM phone call that could have been handled through a text or waited till 10AM. Also, I just adore the 1-2AM "What are you doing?"

[talisman]

I generally don't call before 8 on week days, 10 on weekends. 9 usually at night, but for some friends 10. Hell, I really rarely even talk on the phone any way. Mostly text. I never liked talking on the phone any way.

All I know from dfwm is that you can't bitch about it if you were stupid enough to put your number in a craigslist ad. Would probably be followed by some random posts and arguments around posters' various experiences with craigslist over the years.

[whitetrash]

i normally dont make calls befor 8 or after 9-10.

[GrayStangGT]

I don't answer my phone after I go to bed, so I couldn't careless when people call me. I won't even here a text message alert if I'm asleep.

My phone starts ringing no later than 6am, every day. Sometimes at 5. A couple times a year I will get an emergency call at 2-3am. There are certain people I will call at 5-6, but I know they are up and working.

do you watch the evening news then go to bed in your old age?

Etiquette goes out the window when the call is for booty.

[Binky]

I won't call anyone before 9am or after 10pm.

Texting - depends on the person, but generally the same.

Emails - 24 hrs a day.

Etiquette goes out the window when the call is for booty.

Etiquette, standards and quantity of texts/calls made within 60 seconds. The proverbial "dynamite into the stock pond".

[suckerdin]

i usually stick to the old 9-9 rule.

unless it's an emergency or i know the person's schedule.

hell, half the time i'll text the person prior to calling.
