11:00.
-
I wouldn't like people calling me after 9.30 - 10pm
-
It just depends on the person.. and what time they usually go to sleep... for me 10:00 is my latest.. but other people are different
-
I try not call people after 10:00 unless it's an emergency or really necessary.
-
I don't call anyone after 10:00pm.
-
Don't call me before 8:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m. as I call them the "ungodly hours".
-
I was always told by a rather drunk great uncle of mine that 'it's only too late when they are dead'. Coincidently, my mum had been meaning to ring him for a couple of weeks, and told me this. I said why didn't she ring him, and she said it wasafter ten and too late. Sadly, he died that night. So I am not sure whether too late is when they are dead, or Ten pm
-
I called my friends house at 2:00am after midnight. What surprised me was that they were awake.
-
I wouldn't normally call anyone after eleven, and I wouldn't call that late if they had small children I might wake up; maybe ten, in that case. However, if I was calling someone like me who sometimes doesn't go to bed until 6 am if at all, I'd have no issue calling them at any time. If it's urgent, it's never too late.
-
3am. Although I call people anytime I feel like it, I do draw the line somewhere
-
That would depend on the person. I've known people who would answer the phone without any fuss well past 11:00 PM, which is generally when I stop answering the phone. People's sleep habits vary, but I'd say 10:00 PM is late enough to assume that any normal person doesn't want a phone call.
-
I have friends I can call at midnight and it wouldn,t be a problem for them, but there are others who I wouldn,t dare call after 9.30pm ish. It just depends who it is I suppose and your reason for calling.
-
after 10pm
-
In my house, if the phone rings after 10:00 pm, it's unusual, but not unheard of. If it rings after 11:00, it's time to panic because something's probably wrong.
-
I was taught by my mother that you shouldn't call anyone before 9AM or after 9PM. I still go by that rule most of the time. If I call after 9PM I usually start the call with, "I hope I didn't call you too late" and in the morning if I have to call someone earlier (occasionally I must call one of my employees in to work) I start the call with "I hope I didn't wake you."
-
It depends who it is. If, it's relatives and you know when they go to bed it could be different. But, normally I won't call someones house past 10 PM unless they have told me to call them. People call all that time at around 11 PM or 6 AM. It's usually advertisers with their recordings. I just don't get why they don't set their recordings to call at a normal time.
-
When I was growing up we had only one phone & it was downstairs. The "rule" was no phone calls after 9pm. Over the years (and after getting extensions in the upstairs rooms), it was still a little disconserting to get calls after 930-10pm. That was private time. Now it bugs me if I get calls after 10pm.
-
I prefer no calls after 9:00 pm.
-
If you call my house after 9 you won't get an answer.
-
when they're dead
-
If they are a friend 10pm, but if I don't know them 8pm.
-
Generally, 22:00, or 10 o'clock
-
I used to say 10 pm, but usually never call anyone after 9:30.
-
It depends on how well you know them, and what the nature of the call is. Close friends, just to talk, 9PM Close friends, emergency, anytime
-
I would say 9:00 pm
-
After 10:00 pm at our house. We get up at 5:20 am, so need our sleep!
-
I would say nine PM. anything after that is okay if it is urgent, and if the recepient of the call would agree that it is urgent. After ten pm is reserved for announcements of engagements, births or deaths.
-
I wouldn't call before 9am or after 9pm, unless told to by the person I am calling back. I have left the message that if they get the message after nine to call me-if it is important that I hear from them. Of course, if I'm calling my boss then I will call before 9am-he's already at work. In His service, <:))))<>< "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:21
-
I would say 9:30pm is the curfew time. Everybody varies, you just have to ask them what's the latest time you can call them.
-
That really does depend on if you know the person. To be completely polite jut for anybody, I'd say not after 9pm as there are even some people who go to be at 7pm.
-
9 p.m. After that you'll worry people i find.
-
After 9:00 P.M. Most adults dont stay up much past 10 if they have to work. So 9:00 pm is good.Still gives them a little time to get ready for bed...
-
I try to never call anyone after 9 pm, except my sister, because I know that after 9 is the best time for her to talk.( small kids-busy evenings) My teenage sons rule is, no calls after 8 p.m. If the phone rings laters then 9, I know that something is wrong.
-
i don't call before 8 am or after 9 pm.
-
It depends what time they have to get up. I have a freind who waits table. I can call her at midnight lol. Most people I don't call after 9 pm.
-
Someone you've never met; 8:30pm An acquaintance, 9:00pm A friend 10:00, maybe 10:30 Family and/or Best friend, any darn time you feel like it.
-
I think it all matters in who you are calling.. You have to be really cool with them to be able to call them late ..
-
I don't care. Call me at midnight or noon, anytime will do.
-
My standards: If it's a friend or relative without kids, 10pm. Everyone else - 9pm
-
I think it's rude to call any house after 11:00
-
I was taught as a child, and still observe to this day, that acceptable phone call hours are 9am to 9pm, in the person's local time. Of course, there are exceptions for emergencies, or when people ask me to call at a particular time. That's just a general guideline. Hope this helps.
-
I only call between 10:30 AM and 9:00PM
-
At around 2200 or summat. It depends on the person. If you know the guy, you might know what they consider to be late, if not, 2200 sounds about right.
-
I say do not call after 10PM.
-
9 pm usually but iff their is something imp thn till 10 pm
-
My answer depends on the situation and the house you are calling. If there are small children in the home and they are in bed (generally after 9 p.m.) then it's "too late" to call. If you have a medical emergency, then it is never too late to call. But you had better be dying if you call my house after 10!! Ha ha ha!! It's selfish and inconsiderate to think only of your wants, needs, and desires when you call someone else's home. Remember, when you call them you are "entering" their home and life and you never know what you might be disrupting.
-
9pm unless you know they get up before 5am to go to work...
-
Depends if they live with anyone. If so then I would say midnight. If they live alone then its never to late.
-
I dislike calling house phones after 10:30 pm.
-
I try to avoid calling at dinner, or after 10 p.m. If I do, I'll call the cellphone, since they probably turn it off at night. But I work nights, so no one ever knows when I'm going to answer.
-
My nephew, Tommy, answered the phone one morning around 2:00am only to hear his very drunk friend ask to speak to my niece (friend's gf). Tommy's response was, "Good God Mike! Do you know what time it is!?" To which Mike replied, "Hold on a second, I'll go check." If you're drunk, any time is too late to call.
-
Unless the call is expected, 9 p.m.
-
It depends on who they are really, if they live alone and often stay up to 2 in the morning, then ring them before 2 in the morning. If they do not live alone I would probably not ring after 10 because you need to consider the other people in the house. Likewise if you know someone that always gets up before 5 in the morning because thats just him, then you can ring him after 5 and he wouldnt mind. Unless that part of the day was his personal time.
-
After 9 or 10 pm
-
That really depends on who and where you are calling. If you know someone well enough to have their phone # you should know their habits and know when it is too late to call them.
-
i think 10pm...,but it really depends!!!
-
that depends on reciever's sleeping habbits I guess
-
I always ask. If I don't know how the person feels then I don't call after 10:00. Unless it is an emergency.
-
I consider after 9:00 p.m. to be an "ungodly hour".
-
My rule of thumb is 9. Never before 9 AM, never after 9 PM. There are exceptions of course.
-
If I'm calling someone's house, I generally try not to call past 9:00 pm. If it's their cell phone it depends on the person; some people stay up late or turn their phones off at night so I can just leave them a voicemail if need be :)
-
i think 11:pm is late, but if it is like a booty call, well I dont think is never 2 late.. hahah
-
9 PM....because people have to work the next day.
-
I think after 9 pm is inappropriate, unless you're very close friends, or if it is an emergency.
-
It depends on who I'm calling...I use 9 PM as a general rule though.
-
I think it depends who you're calling and the reason you're calling them. Common sense really.
-
As my SIL told me, unless your hair is on fire, don't you dare call here after 10 PM LOL!
-
I would say after 9:30 pm.
-
I never call people after 9pm.
-
For the average person 10PM. If the person your calling has kids than I'd say 9PM. College student Midnight. If you're too drunk to drive than call at any time.
-
If anyone tries to call me after 8 PM,they could not reach me because I'm usually at work or on my way to work. I don't usually wake up until about noon. The times people call assume I work the day shift, which is a reasonable assumption, as few people work nights. The work I do is best done when the store is closed for the day.
-
My house anytime of the hour if its people I know, telemarketers do not call after 5pm ah im...alseep...yeaaaaahhh..
-
nine or ten. Anything after that is usually bad news.
-
9PM unless it's my kids who get off work later and sometimes call me later.
-
8-9PM, pretty much.
-
hi,my mother always told me not to call anyone after 9:30 at night.
-
up to nine or ten pm.
-
I'd say like ten o'clock or mabey 9:30
-
I would say 9pm, unless I was really close with someone and knew they stayed up much later on a regular basis.
-
10:00 PM..I WOULD SAY
-
Depends on how well you know the person. If they have young children, not after 8, I'll text instead.
-
That would depend how well you know them and what is their normal nightly routine.
-
after 10 or 10:30pm
-
If you don't know the person well, 8 or 9 P.M. If you do, you can probably call anytime before 10 P.M.
-
9:00 pm
-
9PM.
-
Outsiders 9pm, family 10pm.
-
"After they've died" is, clearly, far too late for most of us. "When they've slipped into a coma" ... may also be, because you just don't know if they're going to awaken again. Other than that, it more or less depends on the purpose of the call. If my friend were calling and the first words out his mouth at 3 AM were, "Whatcha doin'?" I wouldn't even tell him that I was hanging up before doing it. On the other hand, if my friend were thinking about suicide and called me at 3 AM then I'd be grateful for the chance to try to help.
-
if I know them, usually anytime. If it's a business call then not after 6pm..
-
In general, I would say 9 pm., and if you know them well 10 pm.
-
House phones??? Nobody uses those anymore, everybody has cell phones now and got rid of the land lines.
-
Anyone is welcome to call at anytime. If and when I do not wish to take calls I shut the ringer off or just ignore. I have yet to miss a call of such importance that anything was hurt by me not answering. +5
-
no later than 10pm
-
an aquaintance (like my daughters friends) not after 8pm, my family who i know for a fact are up 9pm. so i guess not after 9pm for anyone.
-
If you know what time the person wakes up and goes to bed, I would say no earlier than an hour after they wake up, and no later than three hours before they go to bed.
-
I like getting calls no later than 9pm during the week. not that I go to bed then, but I enjoy "me" time, and cannot contibute fully to a conversation when I am "winding down", at least not on a phone. Emergencies, call me anytime.
-
9 or 10 pm for people on the week days and weekends and for family anytime.
-
I never call after 9pm because I don't like receiving calls after that time.
-
house phone? - 10pm...
-
Anything after 9pm.
