Am I right or wrong to be annoyed long post

[Wendy1985]

I fall asleep to a audio book on my phone that is my white noise

so after yoga I get home eat lunch drift to sleep win my auto book on my phone

I feel a vibration on my wrist I see my aunt calling no big deal I hang up the phone go back to sleep

Here is what I was annoyed by she called twice initially I was not annoyed i thought okay maybe a emergency nope not a emergency

I was taught that if someone picks up leave a message they will call back not call till they answer unless it is a emergency

If I ever call someone to say hi I will wait I only phone bomb when it is a emergency

The only thing I take responsibility for is being in the habit of falling asleep listening to a audiobook book

Put your phone/watch on Do Not Disturb. Problem solved.

Would the audio book still play though

I can't speak to the smart watch, but the phone volume will absolutely work with your ring/notifications turned off.

Thank you I will do that in the future

It sounds like you were napping during the day. I would not be annoyed with someone calling me twice during the day when most people would be awake.

I understand it is not normal to nap in the day it is also not normal to phone bomb unless it is a emergency

ETA I don’t nap everyday maybe once or twice a week when my body does not give me a choice in other words when my eyes are so heavy and I keep falling asleep while I am working

Luckily for me my boss is me

I wouldn’t classify calling twice as phone bombing. I think you are overreacting.

If you call me multiple times in a row I'm going to assume someone is dead or dying.

Not the case

It felt like more at the time for some reason

If you call me back immediately after I don't answer, it had better be very important and/or time sensitive. Otherwise you will be getting yelled at.

My aunt once called my phone, then my sister's phone, then texted "Call me" to both of us (we were out walking the dog). We both panicked thinking something must be wrong with our grandmother. No, she just wanted to tell us one of our uncles and his family was coming that weekend. Like, that could've been a voicemail or a text message, no need to give me a panic attack.

I'm good at calling and getting voice mail, thinking I wouldn't leave a message, and then changing my mind and calling back to leave a message.

Agree with PP who said to put your phone on Do Not Disturb.

In OP's defense, I am also lucky enough to sometimes take short naps during the day, and I use YT videos to fall asleep - very similar to your strategy.

Whenever I would get a call, or a DM from someone it would ruin my 20mins sleep, and while I *know* it's not that person's fault, I *know* they're not interrupting me on purpose, it still made me furious That's why I make it a point now to silence everything, BEFORE I even lie down.

You're allowed to feel however you feel - just don't take it out on your (innocent) aunt (I'm sure you're not), and implement solutions going forward.

My aunt is 79 and does stuff like this all of the time.

I think she is lonely and rarely keeps me on long. She just wants to get through to me. But I think she just likes to hear my voice.

I will admit, sometimes I do a deep breath and slight eyeroll before I answer. But she would nevet know that.

She says her story, I listen, I laugh or sympathize, we say our I love yous, and hang up.
