We have a primary/backup setup and I would be pretty pissed if my primary just started going out for movies or a date night during their shift tbh. My job as a backup is to be there for unexpected events, ie they did not wake up or had an accident. Not be on call effectively 2 weeks in a row just because the primary doesn't take it seriously.

Yeah, going for a run or a dinner where you might be able to ack but not actually at keys for 10-20 minutes is one thing. Going to a movie or date where you might not even ack and won't be at keys for hours? Not cool at all.
