Aibu to be upset by 5.30am phonecall from grocery delivery driver?

[GeeGaw42]

I had my shopping delivered last night and the delivery driver rang me to see if I was ok with him being half an hour early. I was fine with that so he dropped off the shopping at the door and we had a chat - he was quite friendly for a change to usual drivers and told me he was lokking foreard to going out after his shift to meet gfriend etc. I said thanks for delivery and thought no more of it.

This morning at 5.30 my mobile rang. I rejected the call and went back to sleep as I didnt recognise the number. When i got up later and checked my phone I realised it was the drivers number.

I live on my own with my little girl and feel a bit stressed about this. Aibu to think its weird? Should I complain or could it have been an accidental misdial? I did think this at first but this afternoonwas thinking he told me I wasnt his last drop he still had a few to do - my number wont have been the last one he called i he was going to be early for others?

I am quite anxious about being alone with my daughter as it is - I only separated from my husband 6 months ago and dont feel secure in this particular house. Its a bit too big and has very old windows. I have two large dogs but some nights cant sleep dud to hearing noises and imagining the worst.

Do delivery drivers use their own phones or are they issued work ones? Its a big supermarket chain. I dont want to report someone for a mistake but a 5.30am call is weird isnt it!????

My cat did the same thing once - only he managed to dial Holland with his bum/ paws. It was 3:30am and my Dutch colleague was suddenly going "Hello? Helllooooo?" ( the cat also managed speakerphone) into a darkened bedroom. My DP was not impressed.

My DD’s once called my boss when I was still asleep in bed, I hadn’t heard them come in to take my phone. When I woke up I saw a few missed calls and voicemails from her asking if everything was ok... Turns out they’d called her three different times and when she’d answered they’d just hung up .

Accidental phonecalls happen a lot too. I’m sure no malice was meant.

@GeeGaw42 are you getting any help in navigating your feelings and changing your mindset?

Your relationship sounds awful and I'm really glad he is an ex,but it does explain why you were so stressed and worried.

pelvicfloor I am going through intense GDPR stuff at work, so it's always front of mind! I have been getting lots of spammy cold calls recently, and entertain myself by asking data protection related questions until they hang up on me . But sad really!

I think you need to work on your mindset / anxiety.
This is a complete overreaction to being bum-dialled.

If he didn’t leave a voicemail/call back/follow up with a text I’d be confident in saying it was an accident.

I once called my boss by mistake at 3am on a Saturday night..I was stumbling up to bed after a few sherrys and was clutching my (unlocked) phone in my fingers and suddenly I heard a sleepy voice say ‘hello?’ before the line went dead!! Was mortified and texted her an apology, she was just relieved as was worried something terrible had happened. Was super embarrassed at work for weeks..

I firmly believe that there's usually an innocent explanation for things that look a bit odd. The most likely thing is yours was the last number he called and in the morning he called you by mistake. I wouldn't think any more of it!

I would assume it's a mistake - if it happened again though I would be reporting him

Thanks for all the replies everyone - i definitely feel a lot better and a bit 😶about my over reaction! Rebelrogue - not getting any help no. Just trying to get on with things and hoping for the best!! 😏

I was in bed and once texted my boss by accident.

I said, ‘turn the heating down please darling it’s hot up here’

He replied, ‘Lol, shall I ring him?’

With iPhones, sometimes you start writing a text thinking the last person you texted was A so you don’t flick your eyes up to look at recipient. Seems like it was boss I last texted that time

Sounds like a misdial - glad you’re calmer now

It's a mis dial Op

Infact It's prevalent with driver type positions too.

I had a mid dial last week from the lovely lady who dropped off my hire car. I could hear her talking to dc, sounded like supper time.

I must have been the last person she dialled and then it was pressed.

I've also had it from the chauffeur companies we use with work.

I accidentally called one of my partner's business contacts at 3.00 a.m. when trying to figure out how to turn the phone off. I also regularly call people when I am trying to do something else like delete messages, I am useless with phones, I will not be alone in this, don't worry about it, he might have been as good with phones as I am.

Probably an accident (and not even necessarily by him), but you do seem to be disproportionately anxious over it.

zombie thread.

Oops -sorry, didn’t realise a thread that was a month old was a zombie

A month is only a Zombie if the OP isn't still reading it in this case, I would say. It is recent enough to still be viable.
