Path texts my entire phonebook at 6 AM
Turning off the ringer on your phone is totally legit, though.
It is, but his stated reason for doing so is nothing if not totally insane.

Especially in context, the phrasing is ridiculous, but semantically it no different from "I refused to be bossed around by my phone".

Refusing to be bossed around by an inanimate object still seems somewhat ridiculous to me.

A phone, especially a ringing one, isn't particularly inanimate.
