Today, my mother-in-law called me every 2 hours, starting at 8pm and stopping at 10am the following morning. She says that since my wife and I are expecting our first child, I should "get used to waking up at all hours." She calls my work phone, which I'm not allowed to switch off. FML
dope_mcfly tells us more.
Hey, OP here. I would have mentioned in the FML that my work phone is one of those "dumb phones" and does not have any option to block numbers. After she did that for two nights in a row, I wound up setting one of the fax machine at my office to auto-dial her mobile and house phones every 15 minutes. Now, the only thing that wakes me up is the occasional user who forgot their login info, and my wife's odd food cravings.

Why the hell does she have the number to your work phone?!

You kind of deserve this one. Ypu should never give out your work number unless it is for work purposes. But beside that, I agree, your life sucks.

my dad only has a work phone, he's allowed to use it for private purposes, too. Over here it's actually pretty normal like that. Or OP's phone might have a dual sim slot.

bahaha! Sorry OP but that is pretty funny. I hope you partner managed to sleep through it all! Plus after all this you might have an easy baby, that sleeps through at an early age... But then again maybe not :P Congrats on the expected child BTW
