I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.
These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don't immediately reply to them.
I've been woken up so many times at 2 am...
At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.
Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don't abuse it.
Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.
Well yeah, but the problem is typically the people who you don't want you calling you in the middle of night are also the ones willing to call you a few times till you pick up.
Do Not Disturb, since I started using that feature I sleep much better. I even have set to automatically go into that state when I go to bed.
Also began using it for other things as well. Like watching tv and when I am driving.
This is work people or life people?
