Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : Me and my best mate have a great relationship and he loves to call me to check in and see how I’m going or to share something he had recently learned. I usually enjoy the calls and appreciate him wanting to talk. 

However this can get a bit annoying when he calls me pretty early in the morning. I go to bed around 12-1 for work reasons (freelance stuff) and wake up at 8.05 for work reasons (day job) and if I don’t get at least 7-8 hours sleep I know the next day is going to suck.

This morning he calls at 7am and wakes me up so for the first time ever I don’t answer his morning call because I assume it’ll once again be something that really doesn’t need to be woken up for. After it rings out I just go back to sleep and wait for my alarms to sort me out at 8am. After I get up i see he has texted me something about new information he has about creatine (something we were talking about the night before). So the following messages went something like this.

Me : Bro stop calling me before 8
Him : You lil bitch
Me : I will never answer before 8 anymore

He then gets pretty pissed off and calls me an unreliable friend and that he would pick up anytime no matter what. His response was dry and sarcastic so I could tell he was pretty pissed off. 

Standing by what I said I then responded by telling him I use to answer morning calls but they always weren’t urgent or could have been communicated via text or at least a call after I’d woken up. I then compared him to the boy who cried wolf in the way that if all your morning calls were unimportant I’d assume that when you finally actually needed help I’d assume the call was once again unimportant.

He hasn’t replied which usually means he’s offended.  This happened just after I woke up so I wasn’t exactly in a pearly mood but I stand by what I said. Am I the asshole?

TLDR: best mate keeps calling me early in the morning about things that aren’t urgent, I told him I wouldn’t answer those calls anymore
