Basically a roundabout way of asking: How much do people really care about you?
I know I could vanish for like 48 hours and my parents and older brother probably wouldn’t even want to look for me (I’m around 18-25, not a minor so they have no legal responsibilities). Nobody in the world cares about me. I mean they already told me that in my face that if I went missing, they won’t care.
About fifteen seconds, since that’s how often my kids ask me for stuff.
As a parent of two young kids, there’s definitely times where getting kidnapped sounds good.
Sadly, they would miss me at work before anything else
Nice try, ICE.

I have a job, a wife, and a kid, so I’d expect almost immediately. Especially if my phones go dark.
I message my wife when I get to work and when I’m leaving. So somewhere between an hour and 7 or 8 depending on exactly when in my day I get nabbed for her to notice.
My work colleagues would probably try to call me if I didn’t turn up (I’ve fallen off my bike before so they might suspect that) but I don’t think they would put out a police report immediately if I just didn’t turn up one morning.
My wife is very protective of me for some odd reason. She likes to joke about how I should watch out for nets (I’m a fish?). If I don’t turn up somewhere she’ll call me in less than an hour. We both work from home (when I’m employed that is) so we’re always around each other. It’s rare that I go anywhere unless I have to travel for work, and that has typically not been a lot.
I also have a home automation platform where I do location tracking and plot us on a map. If I were to fall off, it’d be pretty noticeable.
I’m guessing if anyone were to snatch me, they’d get an hour head start before wifey started chasing them down with a shotgun. Kinda nice to think that someone is looking out for me. I guess all that box chowing has paid off.
The last sentence lmfao
Quite a lot of time if it’s during my holidays or weekend, since I like to go MIA quite often and people are used to me not replying for some time. The first to know will be work, when I don’t show up all day.
I guess it depends on the time of day. If it was morning, probably 6 hours because my kids would now be home alone, and as soon as my wife gets home in the afternoon, there’s no way she doesn’t freak out. Maybe even less since my one kid has a phone that can only call my wife. We have so many things we do every day that if any of us went missing, it would be a huge red flag pretty quickly. Thinking about it now, it feels kind of sad. I like freedom, and right now, I guess I have very little of that, lol.
Lol I remember my dad having an argument with my mom in the morning so he just noped out of the house without anyone noticing he left the house, and didn’t respond to phone calls until late afternoon. I think he was having a mini-vacation lol.
I work from home and always tell my husband when I’m going out. He works from the office 1-2 days a week and is home other days. So depending on the day it’d take minutes or around dinner time. Although he’d probably text my phone and wait for hours before contacting others.
My wife would be freaking out about two minutes after she realized I hadn’t come back inside, I wasn’t answering my phone, and I wasn’t in any of the usual places around the house.
Everyone else? Weeks.
Depending on when this happens, my fiancée could notice in as little as an hour, and she would be in a panic until I am returned to her.
I need a deadman switch… maybe watch a log file for a program I use daily or something.

At most, a week. Family would notice otherwise.
I’m sorry that your relationship with yours isn’t good.
Depends on the day. Between a few hours and a few days. If I’ve got something due at work later in the day, hours. If I have no hard deliverables for a few weeks then one of the bars where I’m a regular and play music would be the first to figure it out. All the bartenders and sound guys know how to get in touch with me.
Mom would figure it out in a month or so.
I drop off the earth pretty frequently but I always keep my gig and work commitments or call if I can’t. So it depends on my next commitment, which happens pretty much weekly.
I guess I’m nabbed when I’m watering the garden. Husband wakes up a few hours later. Goes to look for me. Can’t find me. Freaks the fuck out, gets my twin up to look for me. Now they’re both freaked out. Husband probably calls the cops. So a few hours at most.
