What's so hush hush about night shifts and call centers?

Hi Mou nice question i might say that night is dark, and dark is associated with evil things might be evil work better in nights and grab innocent people in Lust. other things most of people are sleeping at that time low chances of having witnesses While every one is up, every thing is clear and other thing, Nights to rest and if u have to work in it, its not that ideal. so May be its reason

To be honest i've never really thought of night shifts or anything as being hush hush, i used to work in a healthcare call centre and i can assure you there was nothing lustful about it! lol you're right there are plenty of other times of the day where you can fit things like that in!! hehe xxx

I just cannot relate with a logical conclusion why darkness is related with lust. I'm not much aware about night shifts in call centres and hush hush activities. I think, when people are at the call centre during night shifts, they are supposed to discharge their duties continuously. I understand they do not even get much time to relax so how do they do hush hush activities is not clear to me. You are right if one has to get physical with the other fellow, he/she may not wait for the night. Perhaps, doing something in dark is considered as clandestine and people feel that if they do something in dark, they won't get noticed.

Heya, I think this is because most people wouldnt dare to be seen in public in the middle of the day when the sun is bright just in case they ever get caught. The dark would at least mask the faces when they are in shadow. Also, think there might be less chance of bumping into someone or being caught when its night rather than in the day. Most people would be asleep or in their own houses at night. Guess thats where this misconception comes from. But then again, that is just my guess.^_^

I agree with you on that. But maybe, just maybe it is better during the night because it is more romantic.....that, most are doing it at night.I don't know really , i enjoy it anytime of the day though

Hello Mimpi..well in the day time law makers are always around and vigilant..at night law breakers are more vigilant and very much around.So the cover of darkness carry with it unsafeness,and danger .The sun shining high and bright causes people to look for cover while darkness provides the perfect settings for under cover activities...So night jobs carry its own net of unsafety for people in general....

We tend to associate things good and socially acceptable with the day and things that are not socially acceptable with the night. Intimacy is sought in the most silent and calm of surroundings and hence the association and prevalance of the night. So while what we refer to as illicit relationships or those out of a legal union as not acceptable social qualities , we seem to think it happens mostly happens in the night. This may have been true in the previous generations, the notion of it though seems to have remain unchanged. Having said this, it varies from our social upbringing and in a way the the information and negative conotations we go on recieving in regard to this. While sleep overs in some cultures is a totally acceptable behaviour, in countries like ours it is associated with us being upto some mischief. There a huge number of people who work the night shifts whether it be in call centres or else where. But it is in some places that this freedom to be allowed to work in the night given to young professionals which is misused as the freedom to do things the way they please and indulge in these activities. It also happens that in many work places there are lesser people in the night shift and lesser supervion and vigil thus preventing opportunity.So every time something like this comes into the limelight,it gets more attention due to the fact that it happens in the night and also at the workplace. They could be doing this in the day as well, but it usually s parents and people concerned think they have a sort of control and awareness in the day and less in the night. So as you say Mimpi it is a notion, but one that is carried down form what we have been made to believe and also due to some prevalent activites which some believe only reinforce it. But the fact is humans that we are, our lust and desires know no time , no seasons ,no places...

I guess it is all tied in with the concept of darkness. The setting of the sun has invoked tales of primal sufferings and creatures of the night throughout history. Folklore has been strongly influenced by it; horror writers and movie director's such as Anne Rice and Wes Craven have been inspired by it; and many a small child has spent their evenings in bed with ther covers oulled over their heads because of it! There is probably also this mindset because night time is a time of rest, a time to sleep and relax. Not a time to head out into the world and be active. This connotation has been created because it is felt that anybody that is out and about in the darkest hours has defied the standard behaviours of most so therefore must be up to no good or abnormal. Human beings are cyclical creatures, as are plants and animals. Night is the time when all things wither down and rest. To defy these natural behaviours inspires hedonism I guess because there is a level of non-conformity attached to it!

actually at places people are not well aware. they should know that these jobs are not bad ones. the nature of job is that. may be the lack of awareness

i think that perhaps human have a kind of natural afraid.what i said is suited to your discussion?
