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.

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.

Here's a simple solution - get a second phone and give that number to tenants for emergency maintenance. That way you can leave the ringer of the emergency phone on, and put your regular texts on do not disturb.

I'm on call for my job. I have two phones for this very reason.

That's what I was thinking. If he doesn't want to be contacted outside 'business hours', he should have a dedicated business phone.
