To think early morning WhatsApp message writers are inconsiderate?

[Magenta82]

I was woken up at 0645 on a SATURDAY morning by someone messaging a WhatsApp group. Nothing important or time sensitive, they said themselves they were lying awake thinking, now I'm lying awake pissed off that my sleep has been interrupted for no reason.

I can’t believe the suggestion that it is up to the recipient to avoid being disturbed. It’s the same with ringing or knocking a door, you do it at a reasonable hour.

Nonsense. You can't mute your front door

If you don't want to be woken up by WhatsApp messages, then turn your data or wifi off overnight. Or put your phone on silent. Or sign out of WhatsApp. Or change your settings so that only messages from certain people can get through.

I mean, it's not hard. If I knew it was, say, my day off and I didn't want to be woken up early, I'd make sure my alarms were off and my phone was on silent before I went to bed. I wouldn't leave my internet on and my phone on loud and then complain that it woke me up

if you are not on my contacts list or whatsapp then you don't make my phone ring, simples!!
other Apps are all silent.

Plus DND between 10 and 8

Master your phone, do not let it master you!

How do you manage if you have friends & family in different time zones? Controversially I don't believe that phones should be in bedrooms anyway. It's bad for sleep & mental health, but that's a whole other thread. The

YABU and ridiculous. Turn your phone off overnight

It’s the same with ringing or knocking a door, you do it at a reasonable hour.

So if your reasonable hour is (say) 10am, you think it's ok to go knocking on the door of a shift worker who's just climbed into bed?

(Of course not - the point being we all have a responsibility to manage our own affairs because other people's lives differ)

PUT YOUR PHONE ON DO NOT DISTURB!!!!

Yes I am shouting! FFS these threads boil my piss.

Texts and messages are like letters they can be sent and read at any time. It is your responsibility to have your phone on a suitable setting.

You can put a phone on a setting just so that certain numbers come through when it's on do not disturb.

I think that with groups sending messages at all times is par for the course really and wouldn’t expect people to make adjustments for that.

But I do think that one-one messages are something which people should give some consideration to. I always think carefully before sending a text late at night or first thing in the morning, nothing is really that important. I do have friends who are in different time zones and one friend who messages at all manner of times of the day and night. And I will reply to any of those if I’m awake. But that’s my decision. I still consider the person I am messaging if it’s me initiating the communication. It’s common courtesy.

Everyone has different schedules. Turn your phone to silent when it doesn’t suit yours.

Agree with everyone else. Put your WhatsApp groups on Mute. I have a few chats on mute because people just like to chat all day and kills my battery!
Alternatively leave the group!

Why do people take their phones to bed with them? Buy an alarm clock and/or a radio, and leave the phone downstairs/in another room, and you won't be disturbed! Or put it on silent.

It's really not difficult to avoid being disturbed by texts/messages/email notifications.

And yes they are very different to someone knocking on your door or ringing your doorbell (or calling a landline) at 3am.

Whole point of what's app is that you can message day or night.

I turn my wifi and data off - job done

Yeah, totally your fault OP, people will assume you have your phone on silent.

Oh gosh you’d hate me. I often reply to messages at 2am when I’m working nights 🤷🏼‍♀️ I figure if you’re asleep you’ve put your phone on silent first

Yabu.
Silent the phone

I have a friend who often messages when she wakes with her baby at 3, 4, 5am. I just read it when I wake.. Occasionally if I've woken anyway. I read and then reply in the morning.

WhatsApp doesn’t alert me, even with phone not on silent. Would drive me crazy.

OP never came back wonder why...

OP never came back wonder why...

Obviously because she was too tired because of inconsiderate Whatsapp message writers so she had an all day nap

op where are you 😂😂😂

@Riv12345 shhhhh😳 It's after 10

Mute the group

As somebody who works til midnight and lies in every morning, I've muted groups which are likely to be offenders.

I think OP has muted this chat.
