Bairnardo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I was amazed to find out that a lot of folk sleep with their phones under their pillow. I was also amazed to find that folk have all their notifications turned on even when trying to sleep. Absolute mentalist behaviour. Just turn off Wi-Fi and/or data. The only reason my phone is in my bedroom when I go to bed is because it acts as my alarm. It still gets turned down to the lowest volume without it being on mute and placed face down on the wee bedside table. There's a boy at work always on his phone. He thinks he's being stealthy by having it on his leg or in a drawer but when he's hunched over looking at it it's incredibly obvious what he's doing. He's been warned a few times about it and I keep trying to tell him to stop being so obvious but he's going to end up in bother over it. So stupid.Why dont you have it completely silent? This is every bit as mental IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're probably texting each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost never get texts or calls, and texts would be the only thing I would hear since no one would call me at night, but it's very rare to get one when I'm sleeping or trying to sleep. I've never been woken up at night by a text. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also pretty sure you can't get her pregnant from Sexting. Unsure if you're seen as a slag for sexting on the 1st date She'd probably make a lot of money as a sort of on-line escort. She's very funny etc, just never off her fucking phone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything after that can wait till the morning and your alarm works fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The alarm on my phone sounds even if it's on silent. I just assumed all phones were the same.

DA Baracus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Not sure what the issue is here. Like I've already said, I don't get any texts or calls at night (I rarely get them during the day as well unless it’s a sales call) so it’s not like I’ll be woken up because my phone is on low volume. I also don’t think that one of the measures of being an adult is knowing if a phone alarm overrides the volume setting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Estate agents. Particularly in Switzerland. In the UK they have the reputation for being sharking b*****ds who will do anything to punt a house and close a sale. Over here they appear to do everything they can to avoid actually selling houses. We are looking and have tried viewing several places over the last few months. Most estate agents here will not do anything outside standard office hours(Mon-Fri 9-5). We are trying to get an appointment to view somewhere at the moment, took us 10 days to get a response from the agent who is dealing with it(sorry for the delay, I have been very busy), and she has told us that she will only do viewings between 10am and 4pm during the week. Given anyone who is going to be in a position to buy is probably going to be working then, and given the town I fucking live in is basically a commuter town for Bern, Luzern, Basel and Zürich, she is pretty much making it as difficult as she can for the vast majority of potential buyers to see the place she wants them to buy from her. This has been the case with most places we have wanted to view so far. If I do buy a house here and end up having to sell it, I will probably do the fucking sale myself rather than ask one of these work shy fuckers to pretend they are earning their vast fucking commission. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Youtube algorithms. I don't know, maybe because so many people see a buck in getting clicks, but it seems to be getting worse. I like channels about woodworking, history, DIY, some movies and yet every day I need to delete recommendations that are obviously far right political channels. I assume the algorithm has detected from these interests that I'm a man of a certain age and therefore I'm most easily monetised by flinging that shit at me. Youtube needs negative keyword filters to block this stuff from being seen.Knew you were a secret Tory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
