Elaine (Prairie Princess) stood me up- twice!

[Birdboy]

A couple of weeks ago, I arranged an appointment with Elaine after a brief email exchange. She had given me her number and told me to call for her address before the appointment. I tried unsuccessfully to call for a couple of days before. No answer. I finally got an email from her, confirming the appointment for the next day, but with no details about the address of her incall. Perhaps unsurprisingly, I couldn't get an answer on the phone the next day either. The appointment time came and went, but as I had no idea where to go, there wasn't much I could do. She had my email address and my phone number, so she could have contacted me at any time.

She finally emailed me to apologize two days later. Her apology was profuse, but she didn't really give a reason why she missed our appointment. I'm a reasonable person- perhaps too reasonable. I think that many pooners would have given up and gone elsewhere, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, a lady who had stood me up on what was to be my first visit later became one of my favorites and proved to be quite reliable. So recently, I emailed Elaine, and she agreed to see me. She emailed me the day before to confirm, and I wrote back that I was looking forward to meeting her. This time I had her address. I was to go to her incall, and call her so she could let me in.

The day came, and I stood in front of her incall and dialed. No answer. I walked up to the door and saw what was clearly a note from her. Sorry, but she had gotten ill and couldn't make her day's appointments. I decided to call and leave a message and was surprised to hear a man answer! I asked for Elaine and the man said that she had gone home. I have no idea who the man was, and didn't ask, but I could guess.

I may just have been the victim of an unlucky set of circumstances. All the same, my enthusiasm for her has definitely been dampened. I think I'll just stick with my favorite next time.

Good to see you back, Birdboy. And, it's good to see you aren't afraid to post about a negative experience. Two strikes and she's out sounds right to me.

Birdboy, I think a lot of us have had that happen. It never ceases to amaze me how some of these "professionals" can act so blatantly ignorant of clients schedules, time and feelings and expect to have a business that flourishes or have us keep coming back! If you kick a dog in the nuts enough times, he'll quit running back with his tail wagging all excited to see you.

Communication, communication, communication.............if there's a reason for changing or not keeping an appointment or phone call or anything else, then make an effort and let us know! It won't kill you and will save a whole mess of complications and wrongful assumptions.

I think it happens more often than what is posted,it's just most won't post because they are afraid of getting flamed by the "admirers"on here.

I understand that the ladies get a lot of no shows and other annoying shit. But its has happened to me waayy too often that I'll make an appointment for an incall and the sp says to call her for the address when you get to her part of town only to get no answer when you do. A couple of the most respected sps on perb have done that to me and I've never even thought of seeing them again 1 strike and you're out if I have to drive across town for nothing.

I have had alot of loonie tunes, that when I tell then the street I live on actually drive around. (even when the appointment hasn't been confirmed). To ask me if I live here?
I say no why? Cause they went and knocked on the door with a light on.
Oh ya really,lol, was my thought.
But for a girl to do that repeatedly is not professional.
Glad to see you back BB, I thought you fell off the face of the earth.
Good luck in your next endevour.

And you are right to be pissed.
I would just like to give my opinion on this matter, as I am a well regarded sp in Winnipeg, and have not ever "no showed" on a client.
To me that is disrespectful and rude. In this day peoples schedules are tight and I think clients deserve more respect than that. I also expect the same from them.
On the other hand, I did have a no show last night and It messed up one of my only free evenings, I mean come on guys do we all just sit around in our lingiere and wait for you.
No I actually have a life, and a very busy and demanding one at that.
I treat my clients as with the utmost professionalism and wish people would treat me the same.
Also if you could please name these offenders, so we don't all get painted with the same brush, because then clients will be double booking girls if they are not sure who the reliable ones are or not.
Kerry, a reliable sp

One of the girls on EC stood me up three times in 2005. New policy: you snooze, you lose.

As of today, there are 33 ladies who have a photo listing for Winnipeg on EC. I definitely haven't seen all of them, and since I haven't been very active lately, I can't even say that I've seen more than a very small fraction of them. But only one lady currently on there had ever no-showed me. It was Lynn, and I posted about my no-show when it happened in 2005.

Kerry is right. You're tarring all the EC ladies with the same brush by not identifying her. Why don't you name her, tough guy?

Birdboy, sorry to hear about your adventures with Elaine. And Kerry, likewise with you, sorry about your no-show. I understand how hectic your life is.

Here are 2 examples of how no-shows affect each of the parties involved (SP & client). Each has a personal life; each has a schedule to keep. And it's a big pain in the ass to have someone screw things up on you. McHatte is right when he mentioned communications. If either party can not make it then it is only common courtesy as a civilized human being to attempt to make contact with the other to advise that the appointment can't go forward. Shit happens everyday and sometimes appointments have to be cancelled. I think that as long as contact is made to advise the other than that should be all one could reasonably ask. Granted something may happen whereby contact prior to an appointment can not be made to advise, and thus a no-show. However these circumstances should be the exception and not the rule and some communication should still be made after regarding the no-show. That said, this should not be a common occurence with a particular individual. If it is, put them on your shit list. Basically it comes down to acting like a decent person and having respect for others.
Maybe names should be named, on both sides. If a guy can make a post indicating their displeasure with a SP no-show then it is only fair that an SP be allowed to make a similar post.

...I did have a no show last night...

I hope it wasn't blazejowski, after all that anticipation!

Agreed to some extent,but this is an ESCORT review board,not a "no-show-john"review board,is it not?

Sorry Mr.Crenshaw, but this is lookin like a venting thread about no-shows.
So-What if it brings out both sides of the story, still could make for some good and enlightening reads.
I know I am guilty of making promises I could not keep, and when I have, I hope that I did my best to make amends, somehow & someway.
I really enjoyed being an "Independent" as it allowed me the freedom to say whatever I wanted to say at the time. ie "Sorry I am busy today."
At the same time the amount of time wasted by "idiot calls" ie men calling to make appointments, and seemed legit,,,,and then a no-show., well lets just say its a good job that I had enough free time to allow that.

So I am sincerly sorry for your recent run of bad luck Mr.Birdboy, but alas your story is all too familiar, unfortunate.
People are sketchy and un-predicable and that is sad fact of life.
None the less I am a perpetual optimist and I like to think that trust and faith sends back nothing short of good Karma.

 

[Azcanuck]

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

I hope it wasn't blazejowski, after all that anticipation!

 

[blazejowski]

NOPE!!!!

 

[Mchatte]

Kerry and all the others are correct when they state that there are indeed two sides to every story or situation. I've had over a decade of pooning experience and if I had any reason to cancel an appointment with an SP due to unforseen circumstances, I made sure I let her know as soon as possible. They were all very gracious and respected me for that.

Now, if I made a habit out of it, then that would be another story. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in their shoes fielding all kinds of emails and phone calls from dozens of hormone charged teenagers and other pervs or jolly chasers.

When I was a kid, I was turned on by some of the pictures in the National Geographic and now, if you have a computer, there is nothing you can't see. In my opinion, the imagination is thus limited.

Doing some research for my Atlanta trip, I notice there are more and more SPs that require references for new clients. Perhaps that may be the future for even Winnipeg? I for one, would have no problem with that. After all, isn't Perb a source of reference for SPs?
