I'm available 100% during working hours, and at least 75% beyond.
But when it's holidays, It's HOLIDAYS!

Just that something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done. Respect developers and their efforts!

I totally agree with your sentiments.
However.....I am used to working for small companies where each individual is responsible for quite specialised areas.
In my experience people are smart/considerate enough to violate my down time only in extreme circumstances.

I think only the first option is very much true for the Indian IT Services.

Company generally closes on holidays and they let there customers know about it if needed.
If the company requires us to work during a weekend which is quite rare, a overtime rate is determined.
Whether I want to work overtime otherwise for no pay is up to me.
Whether I'd be willing to be on call, sure.
Whether I am on call, no.

Yes, I covered some of my buddies because of their requests("Please cover me man, I booked tickets for a movie with my girlfriend", etc.,).

I have always let it be known that I am available if completely necessary. It has never been expected though. And I have only had a work related call once whilst actually away on holiday.
Had quite a few over the years whilst off sick though. They don't seem to mind disturbing you as much for that.
I believe the culture is that if you have a mobile paid for by the company you are expected to answer it if they need you. I do not.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

Used to be. But the problem was the only support calls I got were hardly emergencies.
The worst Was when I was on a lads night out, we were all pretty full on beer and curry, and the phone rang. In those days it was analog, no caller ID, so I had to assume it was a customer. Tried desperately to sober up a bit, and sound professional, only to find it was Charlie from the back seat of the taxi...
Now, if a boss gets my mobile number, I change it. It happened once, he was annoyed. When asked if he wanted to pay my bill every month, he shut up and never mentioned it again.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

I just have a great way to avoid having to work weekends...
try{
RunProgram();
}
catch(Exception ex){
if(Weekend || FridayAfternoon || (FridayMorning && EstimateFixHours(ex) > 4))
QueueErrorForMonday(ex, @designateTo: Developers.Random(d => d.Name != "musefan"));
else
ReportError(ex);
}
