Is this joking, teasing or bullying or ? To do with volunteering

[Lulu9101112]

With my volunteering. My head of department it’s just getting annoying with him keep expecting me to go bowling every weekend and if I don’t go says I’ll get worse and if I do and dont get over 100 says I’m getting worse and if I do says I’m a professional and tells every new volunteer and work experience student this.
Also every time I borrow keys I give them back or give them to another staff member and tell them to give them back to him.
But every time. He keeps texting me saying I have them when I don’t or where are my keys and when I reply saying I don’t have them he says but I gave them to you.
What would you do in this situation?
I’m there tommorow and also why is this happening to me? I’ve been there for over a year and he pretty much does this every time I go there. It’s also making me a little upset?

As far as I know he hasn’t done this too anyone else. Just me

Block his mobile number and texts, and do not send him them either.

If block him I won’t be able to call him if something happens with the animals like they escape get stuck or are sick in these cases we have to call him if and I don’t think you can block texts without blocking calling.

Also what about the other things I mentioned?

Well I wouldn't be going socialising with the guy at all, he has no right to demand your free time.
As for the keys I would start a system of signing for keys, such as we had in the bank I worked for. A bit cumbersome but you could justify it by saying that a book which contained a record of who had the keys and when would stop the need for everyone to text each other.
This might be 'just voluntary' but there's no need for the running of things to be anything less than professional.

Oddly he was quiet today but there was hardly any staff apart from him and 2 Gardners. I can’t avoid socialising because I don’t want to seem ignorant if I don’t answer his questions and also that if an animal escaped or got stuck etc.. I would have to call or tell him. Since the manager not always there. I get what you mean with keys because it’s the same at my work. Even though I don’t have keys for that work but anyone that borrows them has to sign them in and out when they take them and put them back.

Another time when he mentions bowling is whenever I have to not go to volunteering due to appointments for example for my diabetic clinic or dentist. He does say I don’t think so your probably going bowling. This annoys me as I don’t and we all have appointments. I’m afraid one day he’s going take it to far and comment about my disability or Diabeties. There’s also been times where I do the job how he says but then says I haven’t tidied up outside the enclosure. . Wahen I remember I haved. I just find it annoying.

If just gets annoying. I only also saw him briefly today.

I think you need to speak to whoever co-ordinates volunteers assuming it's not him. You shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable. It's their responsibility to look after you just as if you were an employee.

In terms of bowling etc, I'd just say no thanks and just keep saying no thanks. You might have to put up with him teasing you for a bit but if you don't want to go don't go.
