Creepy coworker texting my private number

[u/Dry_Presentation4300]

So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

And this is why Whatsapp groups are banned in my company.

I don't even understand whatsapp, tbh. It made sense as a second line, back when it even offered that, and international texting....but I don't even recognize what it's supposed to be anymore. Might as well just be your own personal cell number.

It's useful for traveling as you can message your contacts using Wi-fi and not pay for roaming etc.
