    Someone I don't know recommended me to someone I know even less for some design work - something I've not really focused on for a good few years now. Recomendee contacted me via WhatsApp, an app I loathe have installed solely to communicate with my partner, and which I thought I had locked down to prevent anyone from contacting me via it.

    So weird.

    I've tracked down recommender and they're based somewhere I used to be, so that's the connection, I guess.. but.. I don't know who the fuck they are or why they'd know me for my work.

    • its fucking facebook isn't it? their grubby tentacles are everywhere reading and listening to everything, making unwanted connections without anyone's say-so.hans_glib
    • I've managed to avoid facebook but everyone I know only seems to communicate with whatsapp. I've got clients using it instead of emailFax_Benson
    • 'I've whatsapped you the files'Fax_Benson
    • I've put the files in the dog-dirt bin in the parkFax_Benson
    • Lol. Yeah, had a client emailing me, using whats ap, text and then sending files on wetransfer the other week, all in the space of about an hour.webazoot
    • Makes me sound like a Luddite when I suggest to clients that I have absolutely no desire to use these means to commnicate.Nairn
    • Also the overly enthusiastic language that comes with it. Shall we jump on a zoom so we can share your desktop?
      No.
