I recently messaged my boss that he should borrow me 10k if he can since the month is about to finish. I sent the message through WhatsApp. Next thing he called me and was saying it is insultive for me to send him message on WhatsApp like that. Pls is it really disrespectful or he is just being childish

Everyone has their own way of reading into things. If you had the means of seeing him in person, then the WhatsApp request is off-ish.

You for just use email (makes it more official), if you no wan see am one on one.

I learnt a long time ago NEVER to ask anyone for help via SMS. Call, if you have to, but never leave any traces of you seeking for financial assistance. Calling someone for help instead of texting makes you sound more confident and genuine. Plus, sending messages gives your potential benefactor plenty time to think about it and in the end, you may not get the help you need.

So, calling won’t make him or her think about it?
Do you think we humans don’t think before doing anything?
It could only be fast.

The problem with most of the people on this forum is lack of comprehension. I said texting will give the benefactor "PLENTY TIME" to think about it. Did you read anywhere in the post where I stated that humans don't think before doing anything? However, for what it's worth, there are people who experience impulsivity and will never think before doing something.

So, calling can not give plenty time to think?
You have not seen a case where the receiver will cut phone to think about before calling you or asking you to call back.

No. I haven't seen such a case.
