… didn’t you have another entry here before, like half an hour ago?
Well, I don’t have a house phone, so if they try to call, I won’t know it.
But in general, it depends on the person. People I like can call anytime, whether they wake me or not. People I don’t like… aren’t really welcome anytime.
nonemergancy? 10… maybe 10.30 at its latest.. but that still gets annoying… i have a cellphone for a reason… i do believe that people call for my mom at 1 or 2 in the morning. THATS annoying. but its because the other person is in a different time zone… -_-
around 9.
9 p.m. my husband has to get up for work at 3 a.m. so no evening calls for us.
depends on the house. My friends know I’m up late…
That’s relative to the level of hotness. For example a woman who I have no interest in better not call me after nine. However, if she’s hot enough…”No, no..you didn’t wake me. I was watching television.” <==would be my reply. If you’re a good looking woman, there is no such thing as an hour too late to call.
10 pm. Any later and it’s just pointless
before midnight.
10pm
I don’t have a landline, and I set my cell to silence when I don’t want anyone to call. So it’s not really an issue for me.
9:00 / 9:30 PM. I hate the phone and need my decompression time. Most of the time I’m making dinner at 9:00 anyway. I don’t like to be bugged when making dinner.
1am, after that you run the risk of waking me up
Everyone knows they can call me until midnight, even later. I’m just very flexible that way.
10p at the latest. I have kids. I leave the phone downstairs, and when we go to bed, I can’t hear it anyway. Plus, I have a friend who’s kidless and still young (same age as me, just different lifestyles) that likes to call me at all hours of the night when she’s trashed. I HATE that, and I don’t think she’s cool.
3:30-ish.
10 PM to 9 AM are my phone-free hours.
woah. interesting. just yesterday my friend called me at midnight telling me she’s mad at her other friend… i was like “what the heck……..” grrr it got me mad D:<
the latest should be at 10.
Before 9am or they get to hear me whispering that the kids are asleep….then again, after 9pm I might be sleeping too, so the better question is; why are you trying to call and talk to me while I’m sleeping? Do I sleeptalk?
9:30pm. 10pm is pushing it a little. They better at least be scratched.
no one calls me unless it’s an emergency (I don’t do phones)-they want something they text me or send me an email. I’ll get back to them eventually.
7:30pm. I have to leave for work at 3 am.
all depends..but i never answer the home phone anyways.
personally I don’t care…I’m usually up til 1am.
but if i’m tired or sleeping I just say so.
from 10 am till 23.59 pm:)
9pm is my rule of thumb. However, it is earlier than that for old people and very often later for people I know pretty well.
Now that I have a kid……..On my landline…6:00…On my cellphone 10.
before 10pm usualy
If it’s a friend, I’ll answer the phone at anytime.
Family: 18:30 Friends: 21:00
Between 9 and 9:30; I have children.
I go to bed around 11:30 or so. Call me after that and it’s non-emergency and your ass is fried!
My phone never rings.
It would be nice if it did again someday.
9PM.
I would take a call at 11pm from close friends, later if I’m still up. Acquaintances or business-type calls though, definitely before 8 or 9pm. I like relaxing in the evenings.
9pm if it’s something interesting. 8pm if it’s something redundant. Anytime if it’s my sister.
My house? Maybe 11. My cell phone? 2am.
9 pm. i don’t much like phone calls at any time. i had a job once that required a lot of phone time.
9
i used to say 10. but now a days it’s more like 830-9
people can call me anytime they want; but because I only have a cell phone…I may not answer.
9:30?
10 or so. I’m up late, so it makes no difference to me, but others go to bed earlier.
10pm, if I like you.
Unless I’ve already told you to call at any time, day or night. When I say that I really mean it.
10pm. unless it’s like a holiday or some day where you know they’ll be up.
11:30
10 P.M.
Any later, I wouldn’t mind the calls on my cell phone.
Considering I live with other people, I think 9:30 or 10 is sufficient.
2200… that’s 10:00 PM for you civilian types…
I usually go with just before 9, though I can make allowances. Like when my friends who were serving as missionaries in Cambodia called me just after midnight to wish me a happy birthday. That was OK.
midnight
but I do not call anyone elses house after 9:00 I think it’s rude
but if people call my house, it’s no big deal
before 9
i think it pretty much depends on who is calling me. If it’s my boyfriend or any of my best friends, then as long as I’m still awake so that i can answer his call at the first ring, then anytime will do. :] But if it’s just somebody i don’t care about, then 6pm. :]
I actually have to go with 8:30, I can get real bitchy when you wake my kids up and they are usually out by 8:30…wake them and taste my wrath.
anytime really…i dont care.
My people know to send a text, if anything. I don’t answer the phone to chew people out if I’m sleeping. I just don’t pick up. They get the message.
they can call my cell anytime. I really like random late phone calls.
At my place for college, 11… at my parents home they’d be pissed if anyone called after 9:30/10
9-9:30ish I get cranky if someone wakes me up at 2AM as my first roommate’s boyfriend found out. I wasn’t meant, honestly! Just cranky!
Not after 9pm…
9pm… but I have my cell phone which I’ll answer at anytime.
Before 9 a.m.
Call me anytime, I am not going to answer it because I am deaf.
Probably 9:30
Call me whenever. If I’m asleep, I won’t wake up.
10 on my house phone, at the very latest. whenever on my cell phone.
9:30pm with a non-emergency, 11:00 with an emotional crisis and anytime with an emergency
The hard rule in our house … 9 pm.
Since it’s a cellphone, prob no later then 3:00/3:30 am. But it really doesn’t matter, since my phone’s always on vibrate. If I’m up I’ll answer, if I’m not I wont.
Bah hah….about 9 pm. I don’t like talking to people anyways.
9PM. growing up, mom’s rule was 8PM. she’d get PISSED if the phone rang after that time.
10pm. call my cell till 12am though
Even though I’m up till 3 in the AM, anyone who’s privileged enough can call me at whatever time they want. This is only a select few. The rest just won’t get answered and know to leave a message.
11 p.m.
9:30 or 10, at the very latest!!
9:30ish. is latest for most people to call me. My best friend will call later because both our husbands work nights and have kids so that is when we can talk without interuptions; other people 9:30. I usually own’t call people after 9pm because I am not sure what is okay with them.
9pm, we have a little kid who gets us up early
9
10…10:30 latest, if they have homework questions…although I’ve been known to receive nonemergency calls at all hours. I tell them to call my cell phone for sure after 10:30.
10pm, I think. Although, a lot depends on how well they know you and your sleep schedule.
Midnight…that’s my usual bedtime.
6-6:30ish…PM
I normally don’t answer my phone after 9PM.
9pm at my home, but when I’m at school until 11pm because I’m usually awake.
If I like you, you may call me up till 9-9.30pm.
If I don’t like you, don’t call me at all.
I don’t mind when they call because everyone has my cell, and if I don’t want to talk to the person I won’t pick up.
I wish they would make it so you can choose to go straight to voicemail and leave a msg. sometimes I don’t want to talk to the person and would rather just leave them a msg. I can be very avoidant.
I prefer the don’t bother call at all hour since I hate phones.
9 for anyone outside the family…….family can call anytime.
nothing after 12:00 AM. I value sleep too much. I am in graduate school though.
If i was in highschool or working and had to get up around 6:00 AM it would be 9 or 10 PM. I once had a girl call me around 10:30 after I was asleep during one summer (cause I worked from 7-3PM) and I talked to her, though mostly uncounsciously.. lol. Which stunk because I liked her a lot but was so freaking tired… ha ha.
11:00pm (ish)
My mom and i sleep late. =)
9 ish. If there’s math homework, that’s negotiable, but I’m using my cell more now, so people can call that.
9.30PM
Usually 9 on a weeknight, 10 on a weekend.
9 pm.
And you forgot….NO phone calls before 8 am on a Saturday or Sunday!! Geez that drives me crazy!
9:30 at the latest. Otherwise I might be in bed and it really irritates me when the phone rings after I’m in bed.
Between 9-10pm and they better give me good news or I’ll really like this person. If not, I’ll be cranky.
House: 9. Unless it’s a close friend or family member. Then it’s 11. Cell: Anytime before midnight on a week night and before 2 am on a weekend.
The reason I have a difference is because close friends and family members have my cell number and I don’t mind talking to them or losing sleep because of them. Other people that I’m not so close to or inclined to talk to (therefore it would be rude for them to call that late) pretty much only have the house number. idk… makes sense to me. LOL
Meh, after 1?
10 pm – after that you will hear a very grumpy person sigh and possibly hang up on you if it turns out to not be an emergency.
10 pm for me, 9 pm for my kids
My HOUSE, 10:30.
My mobile, it doesn’t really matter what hour of the day or night it is.
10 pm- my mom sleeps early
but my cell phone is available 24/7!
9:30 PM latest with non emergencies or unless I’ve told them to call whenever they get home.
Between 10pm-7am is off limits for us.
We have only a cellphone, so I just plain don’t answer the phone most times; I wait to hear a message.
Better: Don’t call me!
I’d say about 11.
9pm
‘Bout 10:30PM.
Well seeing as I am a vampire, I dont like calls between six am and noon…. But I would never call someone after ten pm.
I’m sorry to break the trhread….but are you trying to look like a Barbara Streisand blonde?
jbarouch
9 pm? I like to watch TV before I fall asleep, and I don’t want to be disturbed.
Phoning 9pm, knocking on the door 8pm.
9 pm.
No one should visit after 9:00 pm. No one should call after 10:00 pm
Between 9 and 10
No one really calls my house, people call my cell phone to reach me. Although I did get called into work for today at 5 to 9 last night, so I would say 9 pm. And if it’s anyone else and they want to reach me, they can just call the cell. If I pick up, good for them, if not, too bad.
I don’t have a set time. Honestly, I don’t really care. If it’s too late or I’m too tired to talk, I’ll just tell you that.
10:30
9:00. The phone usually does not get answered after that.
NLT 9 or 10 pm.
On weekdays, 10:30. Unless they call my cellphone, then it’s whenever. On weekends…11:30, or on the cell, whenever. I personally don’t really care when people call, as long as it’s not my house phone.
i really don’t care, as long it’s friends……otherwise 9 pm
My home line? 9 was the rule growing up-both for me to call out, and me to talk to friends that called in. Now that I’ve got a cell phone-and there are some occasions when none of us are even HOME before 9, it’s really whenever, although its just as easy to reach me via texting and Facebook as actually calling.
2AM
Between 8pm-11am, my phone’s off limit. Call between those times and I’ll commit murder. =)
10:00. Unless it’s the night LOST is on. If that’s the case, don’t call. ’cause I won’t pick up.
9pm. after that im engulfed in video games and haxing the planet..
10pm unless they know that I have an event or work that will keep me up late.
I think the latest someone should call for a non-emergency is 9o’clock.
Any later and it just plainly pisses me off.
yah accha hai.
If you know the person goes to bed early, then around 7 or 8. If they don’t or you know they’ll be up, 10.
