I am suddenly reminded of my partners former housemate, who had a surrogate-daughter type relationship with him (and used to buy him Father's Day cards),
who, when she was age 25 or so,
one time called both of us nonstop when she knew we were out to diner and then the theatre
because of the emergency that ***the home internet had stopped working***.
I was not impressed. We came out of the theatre when the play was over, turned our phones on, and for a few minutes, before we managed to get hold of her, genuinely were worried that she had had some kind of health crisis. (She'd been in hospital very unexpectedly for a sudden health emergency the year before.)
There was no reason the internet being out for a few hours was a genuine emergency that merited a gazillion phone calls to both of us, she was just bored and wanted to play Dragon Age.
