So my friend tells me... Call me and wake me up in the morning and so I did and got him on the phone and then he said 3 more minutes... so I call back, he then says 10 more minutes.... Ok so I did and when I called.... he didn't answer.... and I must have called like 15 times and couldn't wake him... the reason he needs to get up is because he has to go to work... Do I continue to try and call to wake him up or do I just give up.... What do you think? yawn frustrated rant

That's his responsibility

A man who can't get up for work ...

Make him accountable for himself. We all have to wake up and get ready for work. I don't have someone calling me to get me out of bed and I work two jobs 5 days a week.

Well I don't babysit him... This was the first time he's asked me to do this... He was up late doing important stuff shades

if he does not have the courtesy to let you know the correct time to call that is inconsiderate enough

but to have you do it multiple times and then either not get up or not let you know he was up and you need not call back

sounds like a training exercise

he wants to train you to do what he wants

Stop calling! He either decided not to go in, turnned the ringer off or bolted out the door late for work.

I think you all misunderstand me.... He merely asked me to wake him up and he has trouble waking up cause of the medicine he takes... No need to make him out like a bad guy

Whatever the reason, he's a grown man, you've done him the "favor" and gone way above and beyond. It's now his responsibility, it was the first time he answered the phone.

15 times? Give up...he doesn't seem to be waking. Then tell him to buy a rooster, those things will wake you up out of a dead sleep...bastards that they are...

a LOUD one, with a snooze bar, and set it far away from his bed. medicine, no medicine, hours of sleep, or just a nap, waking early, or late - I agree with everyone else. He is a GROWN MAN. He needs to take the RESPONSIBILITY of waking up upon HIMSELF.

I would if I wasn't at work but that probably wouldn't work either since I'd have to bang on the door... I'm not climbing up the wall to get to the 3rd floor laugh
