I received 20 missed calls in the middle of the night.

Philippines
April 3, 2010 9:30pm CST
Last night, while I was sound asleep, my phone rang. WTF! I was really pissed because I was sleeping soundly and then a sudden phone call woke me up. I thought it was a friend of mine but the number was unregistered in my phonebook. I did not answer the first call to give that caller a cue that I'm already asleep. But, then I heard another ring from that same number. So, what I did was I put my phone on a silent mode so that my folks won't be disturbed. It never stopped ringing until it reached the 5th time. I accidentally answered a call but I didn't utter a word. I didn't want to disturb other members of my family. I just heard a girl's voice. And then, she gave me more rings and they reached 20 missed calls. That was ridiculous. Good thing she got tired and sent me an SMS message saying good night and that I made her look like a fool. I hate calls in the middle of the night. How about you?

It's really annoying to receive phone calls in the middle of our sleep. Because of that call, I could hardly go back to sleep again. I kept on thinking about that mystery caller.LOL.

I do too hate calls in the middle of the night, unless it is an emergency. I know if a family member is calling at an unusual time in the night, something must be wrong. Most of the time I do not hear anything when I am sleeping well but still do not like phone calls late at night. I won't pick up the phone if the number is not a recognized number. Sorry to hear that you had that many calls while you were sleeping.

I seldom receive calls in the middle of the night. That was really freakin' crazy. I was so stupid that I did not turn it off right away. I let it rang for a couple of times. I really thought that was froma secret admirer.LOL.But, then, I was disappointed when I heard a girl's voice.

Might be that girl wanted to greet you for the Easter and convey important message on the occasion of Easter. If it It happens occasionally, I dont feel that I got disturbed.

That, my friend would be soooo weird. Greetings for Easter? People in our place won't be greeting anything about Easter.LOL. Most of the time they would greet for Christmas, Birthdays.hehe

I thinks it is a very very frustrating situation when you have received many of missed calls on your cell phone in the middle of the night.. because it is the time.. when you slept very deeply.. and you have received missed calls..then you wake up.. and want to again slept.. but again missed calls disturbing you.. so i always switched off my cell phone in the night when i sleeping.. have a nice day and keep mylotting always..

Indeed. It is frustrating to know that your sleep is disturbed by a foolish call. That was a lesson to be learned. In my case, I should check the profile settings of my phone so that it won't ring during my sleep. Happy mylotting!

AS far as I am concerned, I think I sympathize to you so much.For me, I think I usually hate the phone call in the middle night,which can be a so annoying thing for me.If there is no call in the night, I think I will have a nice sleep in the night. Have a nice day.

I had 27 missed calls once from someone I knew who wanted to talk. I was doing laundry, and I wasn't gone more then maybe ten minutes. I left my phone at home, and at that time I had that many missed calls. I finally answered it on number 28, because I was back at home again. I know how it can be and how anoying it was. Maybe you should have just tried to tell this person you were tryiing to sleep.

LOL. But, it's a good thing it's from someone you know. I wanted to tell her to stop calling but I can't. My bed is near my parent's bed.LOL. And, I was afraid that she will threaten my life or my family. I was freaking out already.

Oh my gosh I would have been beyond mad!!! I try to put my phone on silent but I use it as an alarm during the week so I can't just turn it off. It is kinda funny that she said you made her look like a real fool...like calling someone twenty times won't make you look silly enough as it is!! If they don't answer the first or second time don't keep calling, I honestly don't understand why people do that!! And she probably felt even more foolish the next day when she realized she had been calling the wrong person!!

Yeah. She was really stupid. She thought that she was calling her boyfriend. That's why she kept on calling. Is she insanely in love with this guy? Whatever. WTH? How could I become her boyfriend? LMAO. I think it was the network's fault.

Wow, what's the problem of that girl?! Haha! Maybe it's a just a trip. Unfortunately it's you who was been chosen to be disturbed. It was really annoying. If she can't sleep, she should not implicate other people. Well, I'm really sad of what you have experienced. Hope it won't happen again. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

She thought that she was calling her boyfriend. That's why she kept on giving me a ring. Maybe she wanted to talk dirty with him. What a dirty-minded person am I.LOL. Happy mylotting!

Hi myliezl! i also put my phone on silent mode. But, my profile setting that I used that time was different. The message alert was the only one on a silent mode while the call was not. Now, I learned my lesson.hehe. Happy mylotting!

She was such a fool. LOL. She kept on calling hoping that I would answer it.I actually sent her an SMS message in the morning whom she was calling to. And she replied that she was calling her boyfriend. WTF? Where the hell did she get my number? Is it the network's fault if she mistakenly dialled the wrong number of her boyfriend?

Hi, gambmarcela. I don't get that many late phone calls not unless it is my husband. He calls me when he has to work extra late. He calls me to tell me that he will be home very soon or that he may have to stop by some place before he comes home. That is the only phone call that I may get. I don't like it when my phone rings very loudly either.

My goodness, that was a lot of phone calls. I think I wouold feel the same way as you did, as when you are fast asleep, you certainly don't want to be disturbed. It would bother me too if that happened, but since I turn mine off at night, I really don't have that to worry about. I never get calls all that much anyway, so I don't need to have it on at all at night, as I just don't sleep all that weel anyway, so getting calls would be very disturbing, and I would get upset I am sure. I don't know why people have to call in the middle of the night. Don't they know that people are sleeping? I guess some don't sleep at night so they bother others. It isnt' right but it happens. Take care, and have a good day.

Yeah. I really agree with you. If they can't sleep then they shouldn't include others who are having a good night sleep.

Sincerely, I hate calls in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, in the middle of everything! haha. I just hate... Principally when I'm sleeping, I just don't answer the fone. I just turn the phone or cellphone off. I already lost a client because I turned off the phone in all his calls, but what is my fault if he always called when I was sleeping. haha
• Philippines
8 Apr 10
LMAO.Maybe that client doesn't have the same time zone as yours.hehe. Anyway what do you mean in middle of everything?LOL. So you mean you hate taking calls?hehe. You're funny! HAppy mylotting!

I mean that is just a suck to stop what I'm doing to just answer a phone. Why the people don't come to my home if it is so important, haha. That is the why is turn of the phone if I'm doing some I don't want to be interrupted. Always when the phone rings is never anything important, now I only made contact with clients by email.

well that's sounds spooky to me haha an number is unregistered in your phone with a girl's voice then call you in the middle of the night that's something maybe cause if a person bothers you in the middle of the night maybe there's an emergency but in your case that's spooky for me and she made miss calls for 20 times

Next time answer it. It maybe a friend who is really need help. In a middle of a night and theirs a robbery. Or if a friend has been kidnap. Etc. Can you live with that thinking that its disturb your sleep? Its happen to us. We are in a tall building and earthquake struck. The building almost collapse. We are in 11th floor. After we get out we call our sisters. But our sisters was piss when we call because we disturb her sleep. .. So next time just answer the phone. Either you know that person or not. But if the phone is nuisance then you can answer the phone and leave the phone open. Don't worry that person will soon use all his loads and can't call you anymore.

I did answer it. But I did not utter a word because my folks might wake up and secondly to keep myself safe from any life-threatening messages..LOL. I was freakin' out that time. By the way, which place was that? It was really scary. Good thing it did not collapse.

I will respond to the first until third calls...but if the calls just keep coming from the same number then I guess I will text to her just to let me sleep for a while and continue tomorrow at reasonable time...

But there's this promo in some of our telecommunication companies: unlimited call from 11 PM - 6 AM. It was so unfortunate of me that I didn't have a load to text her what she wanted.

Twenty? That's more than enough to keep you awake! But you were sleeping soundly, bless you, but you said you did try to answer a few times. Yes, I hate that too! Even text messages sent in the middle of the night just to say "mwah" or "good night"--that's I think rude as you could awaken some precious sleep thinking that your message could be urgent when it's just a silly greeting.
• Philippines

I had no problem with SMS messages like mwah or good night since I put my phone on silent mode. The profile that I used that night was that, my message alert tone was silent but my incoming call tone was in tone and at the maximum level. That was so stupid of me. GRRR.

It depends who it's from. If it's from my boyfriend then probably it's okay. But if it's someone I don't care so much about, then it would probably be annoying and it would probably piss me off. I usually take calls in the middle of the night because it might be an emergency, but if it's not, i would really get mad. I experienced once being awaken by a phone ring, though it was just a text, it really pissed me off. I was so sound asleep and here's my emotional friend having some problems with his girlfriend (which happened to be my bestfriend) texted me so many messages about how he felt. I replied though.

I concur. If it's from my boyfriend, I would really be delighted to hear his voice. LOL.

Huh? Did you know who this girl was? You should have SMSed back saying that she is a fool if she doesnt get the message after you didnt answer the first 5 times, I had 13 missed calls once from someone, but turns out it was from my flatmates, I was out having fun with some friends and a lot of drinks lol, and apparently my flatmates could see a girl passed out in front of the apartment and didnt know where I was so was trying to get hold of me to check it wasnt me. I found it funny when they got hold of me as I was quite drunk but realised the next day how freaked they must have been.

Yeah. But, the problem was I had no load.LOL. Your flatmates must have been really worried about you. sweet.

this happens to me with 1 certain person and it always shows up as a restricted number on my phone so i cannot call them back. he usually calls once every hour but if he really needs to talk it like 2-3 mins in between each call. after the 5th call i would answer it if im sleeping. and he would go "oh were you sleeping?" id respond with a "uh huh" then hed apologize and hang up. next time it happens, answer it, and find out what is so damn important. then tell them. if it isnt an emergancy, call at a decent hour to talk to you. some people get so excited about some news, they will call everyone they know until someone picks up. i know i should have put my phone on silent but when im sleeping i have my yahoo has mobile because my bf works 2 jobs and i hardly get to talk to him. so when he gets online and he lives 3 hrs away. so when he gets on and texts me i am able to wake up and get on the computer. he is the only person i dont mind that wakes me up lol. so just next time answer it and let them know you are trying to sleep. they got 5 mins to tell you what the just had to tell you. and let them know next time, call between 9am-9pm, or whatever time u decide. good luck!

I should answer it next time. maybe i'll answer it inside the rest room so I won't disturb anyone. I was lazy to get up then. If it were my boyfriend, it won't bother me at all.LOL.I hope your relationship will go stronger.
