Topic: What to do... | |
---|---|
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?

That's his responsibility
A man who can't get up for work ... Hmmmm |
|
|

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.

Yeah...time to stop babysitting him and let him take care of himself.

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.

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 |

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. |

Then tell him to buy a rooster, those things will wake you up out of a dead sleep...bastards that they are... |

one thing that helped me sometimes was having 2 alarm clocks..
|

|
Go over there & wake him up
|

tell him to buy an alarm clock be seeing you 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. |

|

Go over there & wake him up 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 |
