      I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.

      These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don’t immediately reply to them.

      I’ve been woken up so many times at 2 am…

      At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.
