You don’t have to respond right away. I got a ton of texts starting at 7:00 this morning. I answered the first wave at around 11:00 when I was sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful weather. You’re lucky that people are thinking about you.

I used to pause and think if I shouldn't respond to my missed-evening texts when I woke up at 4am. Then I thought, if you're too stupid or lazy to set up specific alerts on your phone, then you deserve to be woken up.

If you have a cellphone, YOU ALONE are responsible for it. Not everyone else. Set your own damn alerts/silencing.


You sound crazy. People are not responsible for the texts they send? Only the recipient is responsible? Delulu land.

Sorry I did not see this in the original post. 🫩

But are there settings for this >> such as the Do Not Disturb setting.

Someone must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side this morning…..then had someone pee in their Corn Flakes.

Why would an 8AM text bother you?
And more importantly - Who in this day + age sleep w/their phone ringers turned on…..??!

Gone are the days when a set alarm on a cellphone 📱 would automatically turn on sound whenever a call or text would come in.

Let the kids treat mom today. Have you noticed how every mom friend, sister, aunt, etc. send these HMD texts? It’s gone over board. I can see how that irritated the Op.


+1
Don't get me wrong, I always appreciate whenever anyone thinks of me in any way. But, I just do not understand all the HMD texts that only increase each year. It just seems so obligatory and, yes, even fake. Why do we need our friends sending these? Again, it just does not seem genuine and more a way to be trendy because everyone else is also doing it.

Well that's better to being woken up at 655 am by my neighbor's dog that they let out and forgot about.

There are settings on your phone for that.

I have no patience for people who get bothered about this kind of stuff. People wake up at different times, go to sleep at different times, travel or live in different time zones, and work different hours. Sending texts when it's convenient to the sender is normal. Adjust your settings accordingly. Getting annoyed at others is so needless because there are easy fixes for your annoyance.


Doesn’t matter. Turn your phone off or leave it in another room. My kids are on the east coast. I’m on the west coast. I don’t have my phone in my bedroom because they text at all hours of the day. If you’re annoyed by texts there is a super easy fix.


There’s an easy fix that doesn’t involve leaving your phone in another room LOL


No $hit Sherlock. OP can’t quite figure this out
