Grammar
2 sentences (WHEN vs THAT / IN THE MIDDLE)
How would you say this please?
1 Is there one day when/that you did call me without me asking you to.
2 The only reason this towel is folded nicely is because I luckily folded it in the middle /I folded it by the middle aligning the edges. But I usually fold them so fast that they aren't nicely folded.
Thank you

OK, depending on the context in which this is said, you could say, "Did you call me one day that I didn't ask you to?" (this would be if you are just trying to find out if the person phoned you on a day you weren't expecting them to because you hadn't requested them to call.) OR, if you were arguing with a sweetheart

For the phrase you wrote
Did you ever call me one single day that I didn't specifically ask you to?"
Could you say
Have you ever called me one single day WHEN/THAT I didn't specifically ask you to?
