Would this text from a landscaper make you uncomfortable?
My dad gave me this landscaper’s number because he knows him and has used him before for yard work. I texted him about coming by to look at our yard and give us an estimate.
One thing that struck me as odd was that he asked for my address. He’s apparently been to our house before, so I thought he would already know where we live, but maybe he just forgot or needed to put it in his GPS again.
I don’t know how to add the screenshots to this post, so I’ll just type out the conversation with names changed.
Me: Hi! My dad gave me your number and said you’ve done work for him before. I was wondering when you’d be available to come look at our yard and give us an estimate.
Landscaper: Hi, thanks for texting me. I just got off work and saw your message. I can come by and take a look at what you’d like done if you have time.
Me: Sure! What time?
Landscaper: Say 10 or so. Where do you live?
Me: [Address]
Me: 10 a.m. right?
Landscaper: Yes, I’ll be there at 10.
Later he texted:
Landscaper: I’m sorry, I just checked my messages and I have a doctor’s appointment at 11. Can we meet around 1?
Me: We won’t be home at 1. Would earlier than 10 work?
Landscaper: Sure, say 9.
Me: Perfect, thank you!
Landscaper: See you at 9. Have a good evening.
Me: You too!
Then around midnight I received:
Landscaper: Hello, just had a shower and crawled into bed. How are you?
Landscaper: Was a long day.
That’s the message that made me uncomfortable because we’ve only discussed landscaping and have never met in person.
Update 1:
I took you guys‘ advice and told him.
me: I think this was meant for someone else
landscaper: Yes it was sorry about that , good morning (name) .
Update 2:
He just came over and I got major major creepy vibes from him. I do think the text wad for me. Luckily I barley cracked the door and he had another guy with him and my mom was at the house.
