First call - during working hours

Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed when someone calls first thing on a Monday morning?

Yes, it would annoy me too...that's why when I give my phone number, I give the guy some good times to call as well (including specific days). Why do you think that's a bad thing to do? You can't assume that everyone's going to have the same ideas on when a good time to call is. Maybe for him, work doesn't get busy until later. Plus I like to be prepared and have a rough idea of when to expect those first calls (I find them stressful, personally).

Personally, 9am on a Monday, I'm really not in the mood to call someone I met on a Friday or Sat night...ok maybe Noon if I really like him, thinking that he could be at lunch. But, other than that, I would wait until night.
You were on the money Peanut... I would have been annoyed as well.
Just my thoughts.
Thanks - haven't had my coffee yet so I'm not 100% Ms. Peppy yet, ha!
annoying yes and inconsiderate..9 am on the first day of the work week, what do they expect
you weren'tbeing curt you were setting boundaries..
this makes me recall a time when i specifically told this guy the weekend wasn't good, it was a SAT my family was coming into town and we were having a party. i said sun would be good to talk. well doesn't he call on SAT, i was curt then also apologized in an email explaining i was running errands for party etc.. and to call sun. which he never did but then calls me durng the work day.ergg. which was just as annoying. eventually i emailed him not to call anymore not just because of that BUT he never asked me out.. even more annoying not lookng for a phone buddy and then he proceeded to call weeks after. like i 'd remember him weird..
so.. no you did nothing wrong, it is annoying and rude..unless your in a r'ship you can call me anytime but also those people understand that work is work and i always tell those "dates" to call weekends or weeknights.. now that i am in a r'ship i don't care but also we both know when it is good not to call or call and if we do we just say can't talk right now call ya later..
