To think this is weird

I posted an add for a gardener on a facebook page yesterday. A man messaged me asking me to send him pictures for a quote. I did this and he asked me what exactly needs doing as I have some very nice features in my garden apparently, I thought that was a little odd as I dont, its all just a massive overgrown mess. I said it all needs getting rid of and asked for a quote, He then responded with "You must have loads of people messaging you" again odd imo, He then asked if I had an amount in mind that I wanted to pay which I didnt really get as like I said just looking for quotes, anyway he then friends requested me. I decided to just ignore him after that as I thought he probably isnt an actual gardener. Well basically he has been messaging me loads since! Even commented on my post twice more. Aibu to think this is weird behaviour?

Yes, odd and unprofessional.

CeridwensCottage · 26/07/2018 15:59

He’s weird. Avoid him.

He'll be wanting to trim your bush and give you a good edging

Gardener or not (doubtful), he’s now being an unwelcome pita so I would block him.

LanguidLobster · 26/07/2018 16:05

Ewww tccat!! You're going to put her off gardeners for life

WorraLiberty · 26/07/2018 16:07

It is weird behaviour, yes.

Even weirder though that you haven't blocked him. Why are you letting him send you loads more messages?

Lemonyknickers · 26/07/2018 16:07

I think tccat has solved the riddle!

Check your privacy settings he may be looking at your page and liking what he sees. Friends only and hide you friends list too. The world is full of nutters

Block and find someone else! You don’t want this person in your inbox let alone in your garden.

delphguelph · 26/07/2018 16:09

So he's seen your profile pic and fancies you. Block and avoid. He's probably not even a gardener!

If his name is Cliff run like the wind. I hired a gardener once and he turned into a creepy stalker and I ended up getting the police involved.

Hopefully you're not in Essex and it's not him Hmm

gretchinweeners · 26/07/2018 16:13

Block him

NonaGrey · 26/07/2018 16:16

Why haven’t you blocked him already?

And why place an add for a gardener? Just google your local companies and make appointments for them to come and give you a proper quote.

Iamtryingtobenicehere · 26/07/2018 16:27

Just block him, he’s a weirdo..

NotTheFordType · 26/07/2018 16:31

I would suggest posting on your ad after his comments "Just to let everyone know, Pervy McFuckface above has been sending me inappropriate messages off the back of this ad, I'd suggest you avoid as clearly very unprofessional to say the least."

Only do this if the photos don't give away the exact location of your house, obvs...

Butterflykissess · 26/07/2018 16:36

Cant believe I didn't even think to block him! If I block him can he still comment on my post?
I posted as I cant afford to pay for a gardener company. Was looking for someone who is self employed.

I had this, but for rubbish removal, funnily enough he didn't want the job when he found out I'm married

WorraLiberty · 26/07/2018 17:18

No, if you block him he can't even see your post.

ALongHardWinter · 26/07/2018 18:03

Block him!

Butterflykissess · 26/07/2018 19:15

Blocked him. Total weirdo!
