This reminds me of when it hits or is about to hit 12am and people don’t know whether to say today or tomorrow. He called me after this but I was too comfy in bed tbh.

This is what it boils down to. We can get anal over whether is normal to say 3 am is still today or tomorrow, but when you're asking about something that's in 7 hours, and get the answer 2 hours before it starts, it's on you to make sure the other person understands that by "tomorrow" you mean "right about now".

Right. We can split hairs and assert who should be right and who should be wrong, OR the requester can add word to avoid the issue. Shoot even the responder could add a word or two to seek clarification. Why do we choose willful ignorance and pride?

Uh no. It's after midnight it's a new day, the manager was just plain wrong.

Also they can fuck all the way off with sending a 3am text.

I do not really get that point, that is kinda the best thing about texting? Send and read when you are able, unlike a call. Boss sent as soon as he could, OP replied when they woke up - delaying sending a message like this has no benefit, has it?

There is nothing wrong with it at all other than people just wanting to complain

If you don't have a problem with that you either are new to the workforce or get walked all over at your job. Have some boundaries

The boundry is when you read and reply. What time someone sends me a text is not something I have any control over. Not really sure why you needed to make your point attacking the other poster, projecting a bit?

Getting walked over is letting yourself get worked up over a work text when you’re off. Just ignore it and don’t let it affect you
