  Write very detailed email with carefully worded instructions and explanations. Send email.

  2 seconds later, get slack message: Hi, are you around?

  Bonus points when they message you and send their zoom link.

  Every single time I swear it’s because the person doesn’t want a written record and has figured out that they’re more likely to get what they want if they can bullshit you to your face, when it’s harder to parse out all the bullshit in person.

  It’s a favoured strategy of rental agents for this reason.
