Time Wasters

I have to say on the whole the guys in Northern Ireland have been good to let me know if they can't make it and have either called or sent a text to cancel.  This I not only don't mind, but respect and will always be happy to see them another time, should they want to see me.

However, there are a certain breed of men that seem to have no respect or regard for their actions.  They call you up and make a firm booking and tell you they will call when they get to you etc and you have no reason to doubt them and then when the time comes, you wait a little, then you start to wonder if they are going to turn up and then you realise that the person has just decided they can't be bothered or something else has turned up and they haven't got the decency to tell you.

Today this has happened twice and both have had consequences.

The first time a really sweet chap wanted to see me at around 3pm, but I told him I couldn't see him again because I already had a booking.  It was a firm booking and I had no reason to suspect that it would not happen.  I didn't want him to miss out totally so I told him my friend was free and after a while he agreed to see her instead.  It was all arranged and everyone was going to be happy, although he did say that it was me he really wanted to see.

five to 3 came and I heard Ann's door being knocked and she let the chap in that I had seen previously and would have liked to have seen again.  3pm arrived and my client still had not arrived.  Due to being busy when I took his call I didn't manage to record his number and could not chase him up.  He didn't turn up and no message to apologies.

When Ann had finished with the client I had said no to, she called to say he would like to say goodbye to me and he was all coy and looked like he had fun with Ann but was still hankering for me. 

It is frustrating when you are left high and dry and it isn't just me who is affected.  Ann didn't feel particularly great when the client I had past on to her was getting all lovey dovey with me when I popped in after and that made me feel bad too.

Then later I have a booking at 7.30pm for half an hour and another one at 9pm.  The 9pm booked me for one hour and enquired if he would be able to extend should we get on.  I told him that I would not be seeing anyone else after him, so that would be possible.  The 7.30pm arrives and he is lovely.  We hit it off straight away and have a really good time together and as always when you are having fun the time whizzes by.  In all honesty, if he had been my last booking for the day I would have carried on past the time and just enjoyed him for myself and as it was we probably did overide by about 10 mins, but then I had to let him go.

I quickly shower and get ready for the 9pm and start packing, as I will be off at 6am, so really needed to be organised.  Guess what?  He doesn't turn up and no cancellation or apology.  This time I do have a number and I ask him if he is late, lost or not coming?  No reply.  Ok, I'm angry so I told him that next time he is left on the streed because the Escort has double booked or he is let down the only person to blame is himself.  Men like him have no respect for women or possibly anybody and it makes my blood boil that they choose to piss people about in this way.  All it takes is a few words sent by text to say, sorry I can't make it!  I may be a little disappointed, but then I have a choice to book with someone else or call it a day.  No call, no choice!  Bastard!  Yes I know I don't normally swear, but I am annoyed.

What a lovely way to end a tour of N.Ireland!  Thank God I have some lovely memories to take home with me or I would be tempted not to come back and thankfully the chap I saw at 7.30pm was actually a lovely client to end on.  I just wish I had known he would be the last one when he was here.
