A roofer came this morning and I didn't get a good impression right off the bat. Called me last night and asked for directions. I took a long time to explain them. He said he'd be here at 9 am. His speech was so slurred I could hardly understand him. Then he called at quarter to 9 this morning and asked for directions again. I repeated them. He told me where he was and it was 5 minutes away. I waited 40 minutes and he didn't show up. I called him and he said that his GPS sent him to the wrong place. I mentioned that I had given him verbal directions twice. Why did he use his GPS, then? He just said he be here in a few minutes. About 10 minutes later I saw a truck with a ladder go by, it went way up the street and turned around an parked. My phone rang and he said "Where are you on XXXXXX St?" I said I'd go out and stand at the end of the driveway and to come back down the street.
Well, he finally got here after almost an hour of fumbling. Looked at the job, said he'd email me his estimate and left. Thirty minutes later I got a call from him asking if I has seen his wallet. He was back in my yard thrashing through the bushes with his helpers. Of course, I hadn't seen any wallets. I even opened a window and looked out on the roof where he had been thinking it might have fallen out while he was there, but I still didn't see it. I don't think he was convinced. I hope he doesn't think I found it and was keeping it. He seemed so disorientated anyway, he might have dropped it anywhere he has stopped during the morning on even in his truck, although he said he looked and it wasn't in the truck.
This guy just gave me the willies.
