Your post is rather confusing. You admit you need that special quiet time in the mornings. You stated that when you applied for jobs you put you are not available before noon.
Then--you want someone to be courteous when you ask a question in the morning and you get a sour response. No respect for their "peace and quiet" time.
Some people need time to wake up. I am a morning person, I get up 90 minutes before I have to leave for work to have my quiet time. 99% of the time I am alone. Every so often my son or husband happens to still be awake and wants to have a conversation--has a question, as you say, "needs to be answered". No, just no. I am not ready for that level in "my" mornings. I get up early to adjust my mind to a new day. I have been sleeping for 7-8 hours, I need time to adjust. Slow, quiet morning. There is no question that "needs to be answered" during my peace and quiet morning. Give me time--I am not grouchy, I just need some quiet time.

I'm not chatty in the morning. I too want peace and quiet like some others here (Sonic and others). When I applied for jobs recently I put that I was not available before noon. I need that special quiet me time because for me, mornings are magical.
I love the early morning with birds singing, and the cool air, and things being peaceful and quiet. It's really a downer when you ask a question that needs to be askedand you get a sour response. I don't think it's too much to ask for someone to be courteous. It's not like I'm trying to have a conversation.
As for being kept up late by a night owl, my body literally crashes so good luck keeping me awake! But I don't snark at people trying to keep me awake. And I've only experienced that a few times.
The first bolded part is what I originally wrote in italics.
I am the first born in a family of 7. I am 1 year, 1 month and 1 day older than the next sibling, and I have 4 siblings all together. I don't know what it's like to be an only child, or to have peace and quiet in a family. I learned early, that if I wanted quiet, I had to get up before anyone else. Consequently, I'm an early bird, but I like my peace. I'm NOT a Chatty Cathy in the morning, and if I had my druthers, no one would talk to me until I'm done with my cup of coffee.
When we were in our 20's, one of my sisters and I lived together. One morning, we were both getting ready for work, and in the bathroom at the same time. She's just chit chatting away. I had to ask her to stop, it was just too early for all this conversation. She was a little miffed at me, but she got over it.
