I wasn't allowed to take or make a phone call after 9 pm. I still live by that; unless it's really important I won't call anyone after 9. Unless I feel like chatting (which I rarely do; I hate phones), or it's my family and I know something must be up, I won't pick up after 9 either.

I'm not a slave to the telephone, though I thank Mr Bell profusely for inventing it.
