Annoying phone call

Woman, went to school with DH, based in a different continent, rang him yesterday out of the blue: she is going on a business trip to France, in May, what’s the weather like, what clothes to bring, would it be too cold for wearing dresses?

Should I have said something? E.g. Do you have google in America ? You had my number too, wouldn’t it be easier to ring someone who actually wear dresses?

that phone call went on for 40min, enquired about each other’s work, extended family children etc. after the opening question.

What would you say to her to him?

yes I do think it’s inappropriate, and reading this thread i am clearing not alone.

So she's a friend he's in touch with - totally different situation to the one you inferred. Maybe she's lonely and just wanted a chat. Perhaps you should reflect on why she chose not to call you for a chat

What's inappropriate about it?

What's inappropriate about it?

She mentioned bare shoulders to a married man. Outrage.

…if it’s anything like me…accidentally rang instead of sending a Whatsapp, then feeling obliged to have a conversation 😂

Yes how odd, Weather app readily available, hard to imagine 40+ year old adult need help with packing. Why not asking her own husband?
