witching hour

(n.) A time when almost nobody has any reason to be out. These times usually occur at night, but may happen at any time, depending on the day. It's like the doldrums of the day.

Examples of witching hours include:
2 P.M. (Workers have eaten lunch already, schoolchildren haven't been let out yet, and cutters get bored and go home.)

3 A.M. (Parties have ended, most people have either picked up a girl and are riding the night out or have gone home.)
5 P.M on sunday (Nobody is coming back from work, but everything is closed, and schoolchildren are finishing their homework.)
