What will you do if someone called in the middle of the night?

hi,in,it is really deend on the seriousness of the situation..when it is for just time pass,i will retend like sleeping/tell some lie...if it is genuine situation where one has to attend,i definately atten even in ninght times also. Have a nice time.

I think at first I will pick up the phone. Otherwise it will keep ringing and it will be much more bothering. Perhaps it is an emergent call. If not, then be sure I will be mad because it is really unsuitable to make a call so late. I love China

Well depend on what the call is about , i might just slam the phone laugh out loud.

huh! this is definitely one annoying situation...and actually i really hate it when the phone rings in the middle of my sleep! given the situation, i think no matter how tired i am, i will definitely pick up the phone (that is if it manage to wakes me up) haha i will pick up the phone coz it might be an important call, specially on my part that our line is usually used for my husbands work and usually calls are coming from his superiors... but when its not that important call and its just from a friend who likes to chit chat, forgive me but i might give her a boring and irritated voice! haha let her feel that i am not in the mood of talking non sense and maybe i will just tell her how tired i am and i want some rest...call tomorrow afternoon! haha have a good day!

I will ignore it initially, I hate being disturbed when I am sleeping cause sometimes when I wake up, it is difficult to go back to sleep. However, if it is persisitent, I will answer it thinking it is for an emergency, if it is for a chit chat, I would tell him to call in the morning.

I doubt my self to hear the phone ringing :p My friends told me that i always sleep like a deadman. I didn't hear any noise at all when i sleep. Anyway, if i hear the phone ringing in the middle of the night, i'll pick it up, maybe it's important call.

hmmm i would definitely answer it as i am a light sleeper...it really depends on who is on the other line..if its just a normal friend i would say..i talk to you another time..but if it is someone close i would talk i guess.hahah

If it was nothing important or an emergency, I'd tell them to fk off and hang up the phone in their face, and then do the same to them a couple of times just to have them taste how it feels like to lose your most beautiful slumber over their stupid call :P

Unfortunately, this used to happen to me with alarming frequency. I was always polite, so I didn't blow up at them. At first. If there's a knock or call, even in the middle of the night, I answer it. It could be an emergency. But after a few years of people taking advantage of me not screaming at them when they "just wanted to chat" in the middle of the night, I became quite vicious. Now, if you knock on my door, or call me in the middle of the night, it had better be something serious. I will answer that knock or call, but if it's just something silly, you will NEVER forget meeting me without my nice face on. Those people will cross to the other side of the street after dealing with me like that.

I just answer the phone. Because we don't know if this is an important called from relatives or friend.

See this would not happen to me. If I seriously wanted a break, the first thing I would think to do is turn off the ringer on my phones. Cheers.

There should be a time limit on callers in the first place. I'd mad if one of my friends called when they knew I was asleep , which by the way is early---- But, if it became a problem, I'd unplug that phone and let the machine/voice mail handle it . If it's an emergency they'd have to come get me out of bed. There is just a time and place for everything.

If the call came from someone i know then i would answer the phone. People don't just call in the middle in the night just to have a chit chat. If they do, they must comfortable enough that think you don't mind. I would answer the phone because the message could be important but if it's not you can tell the other person to call you again in the morning.

Actually, I would pick up the phone... because I will initially first thing that something is wrong and someone is in trouble. But if the caller just wanted to have a chit chat... well, then, I will try and do my best to chat with them (I'm such a nice person). If they continue for ages, I will politely say that I am tired and hopefully they will get the hint. If they don't then I will say that I am really tired and I will call them tomorrow. :)

Hi friend one must pickup and listen the call atleast one should know who is at the other end and must looking for the reason for caling. as an worker it may be your of time but as an human and close friend or relative it is your duty to listen the caller and must understand the need of time. It may be a chit caht call cal but one can pickup and tel the caller clearly that your are not free for all these act.

I'd always answer it because I'd assume it was some sort of emergency. If it was someone just wanting to talk, it would depend on WHO it was. Assuming the person wasn't in any sort of trouble or danger, I'd probably give them 10minutes and then politely tell them I'd call back when I wasn't so tired... tho' if I hadn't got to work the next morning I might welcome the chance to forget about the stresses of the previous day and chat to them.

Hiya invisible, If I can see who´s calling on the little screen well I might pick it up. If it´s someone I don´t know then I´m afraid it would get the pick up and slam down or turn down the volume which I cannot do with this Phone. Phone callers like that don´t annoy me I just ignore them and they get fed up in the end. It works for me anyhow.

Hi Invisible lady, If i know whose calling--I will answer the phone especially if the call is from the province where my mom lives or anybody from my friends and officemates. I know if they call especially late night something is wrong that i need to know. But if i don't know who's calling i will not take the call and just put my cellphone on silent mode so if ever it will ring again, i will not be disturbed from my sleep. she/he ca just leave a message.

I would answer, but if the person did not really need anything, I would politely tell them that I'm tired and will call them back the next day.

well, it really depends, if it's my mom or sister or my child or husband or any close relative , I might answer the phone just to know what it's about.But if not, I might just put the cellphone far far from my bed and if its a landline, then I'll unplug it.
