Inhumane Treatment

I got a wrong number call last night at 2:10 AM. Someone asked me if I answered it and I said, "Of course, I did!"

When I am called in the middle of the night, I assume that someone has set themselves on fire, so when the phone rings I try to be prepared to blurt out, "STOP DROP AND ROLL!" Alas, this has never happened in spite of my having been called in the middle of the night on several occasions.

In addition to being prepared to deal with friends who have a problem with spontaneous combustion, I am also prepared to commit violent crimes usually by way of neck punching, eye gouging, and really filthy insults that might make you cry.

So, basically, I just want to tell people not to dial my number, even by mistake, between the hours of 10:30 PM and 9:30 AM. I might be completely awake for some of the hours within that range like I was today starting at 6:00 AM, but I still don't think it's polite to call.

My question is this: who in holy hell is calling people at 2AM on a Wednesday night?

People who don't know the right number to dial, that's who.

Hilarious. You have great wit.

Why the hell do you get to sleep in until 9:30 a.m. when I have to get up at 6:30?!

I imagine I'd be happy to help extinguish somebody or punch them in the neck at 2:30 in the morning, it just doesn't come up for me very much. The secret of sleeping through the night is to sleep with someone who's a lighter sleeper than you are.

I actually get up at 6:15ish during the week, Jennifer, but that doesn't mean folks are allowed to call.
