Basic Manners: Late Night Calls

Okay, here's the thing. I wouldn't mind if you're a little kid breaking this basic rule but if you're a fully grown 20 year old and you still do this, that's crossing the line buddy.

Isn't it considered rude already to call after 7:30pm for no good reason at all?

Here's a little something so that all of you know where I'm coming from.

It's already past 10 in the EVENING and suddenly the phone rings.

Most of the people here are already asleep and I'm still up trying to understand this html book that I have so that I can utilize it. So in knowing the former, I head up 2 flights of stairs to reach the phone worrying that it might be some emergency call.

Lo and behold. It's an old acquaintance of mine calling to ask if I had the number of a person she clearly knows I don't even speak to anymore. After doing so she attempts to bring up idle chatter.

Annoyed, upset and what have you, I told her I couldn't stay on the phone since it was late and also because I feel the glares directed at me since my uncle woke up because of the ringing phone.

My issue here is that I already told her about a thousand times (Exaggerated but you get my point) that she shouldn't call at such a late hour. I was so tempted to tell her that it's part of basic manners and phone etiquette but I stopped myself as to not embarrass her.

But man oh man this is just irritating.

So remember kids, if you don't want people thinking about you like what I'm doing right now DON'T call past 7:30pm unless it's an emergency.

Let’s be honest here..

Okay, so as people know, everyone has a pet peeve. I just thought it would be interesting if I share some of mine just so people can know just a little bit more about me.

Besides being interrupted while on my laptop, there is absolutely one other thing that pisses me off on a good day.

Waking up the wrong way.

“How does that happen?” you may ask. Well I’ll tell you.

1. The Shocker

I’m peacefully sleeping and then suddenly someone barges in and goes off screaming his/her head off telling me to wake up for one reason or another that doesn’t even need me to be up (i.e. Asking where their magazine is/ if I ate the chocolate). It happens, seriously and I do not appreciate my adrenalin at it’s peak the moment I wake up. Everytime this happens to me I always end up experiencing a mild palpitation and that’s not a good way to start the day. AT ALL.

2. Happy Feet

A sure fire sign that I’m not ready to have kids yet. Definitely.

I do NOT appreciate having toddlers wake me up by putting their cute little feet or hands smack in my face. Nuff said.

3. The Tickler

Oh hell. NO. Absolutely NO. I like being tickled when I’m awake but as a way to actually wake me up? I don’t think so!

4. iTunez

Look, you may have a wonderful voice that I’d enjoy listening to on any other occasion but the moment I hear you belting out a tune within hearing range while I sleep and actually find myself fully waking up to it? You’re in big trouble.

5. The Cat Paw

Cuddling is a nice way to wake up, I’ll admit that but do take note that there’s a difference between cuddling and pawing someone awake. It’s an irritating way to wake up to. Imagine feeling those swipes against your skin and chances are when you wake up and you’re not in the mood and feel something brushing up against you in a not gentle way. It ticks you off.

Well I guess that’s it for today’s entry.

Until next time~
