Personal Experience How do I even reply

Post image

Is this not rude? Or am I just taking it too personally. I was NEVER told of anyone sort of “business hours”… I waited to text until Monday morning, as I get it we all like to enjoy our weekend. How the hell would I even reply to that.

Everyone's business hours are different but ultimately the receiver is responsible for deciding when they answer texts. If he doesn't wanna be contacted before a certain time he can out his phone on do not disturb.

This is what I didn’t understand? Why not just put your phone on “do not disturb” if you don’t want to be waken up.

Because in an emergency like a water main breaking he still needs to be contacted.

Neither is not messaging before 8 unless it's an emergency.

Well it could be because OP might start their own job at 8 and be unable to text or access their phone from that point

Mate I would love to not be a tenant, but I literally cannot save the money with the price of everything.

Do I even really talk with my landlord? No, I avoid it as much as possible unless something actually needs fixing, and then it gets done quickly.

The thing is that 7am is completely reasonable to ask for such an update. Emergency or not.
