Redressing the Balance


There are plenty of sites out there where "punters" can review escorts but I have yet to see one where escorts can review clients without the threat of being kicked off/ barred or shouted down or simply silenced for fear of losing income.

Friday night I was booked to see a client from 8pm, who was coming in from Paris now I don't tend to work past 5pm on a friday as I thoroughly enjoy my nights out and hold the time that I have with my boyfriend to be of paramount importance so it was unusual of me to accept it but I had accepted it nonethless and had a lengthy email conversation with the punter in question. (Yes silly me I hadn't spoken to him on the phone.)

But it closed in on 7.30pm and at that stage he should have checked into his hotel, now armed with his email address and the name of the hotel I was able to establish that he was expected at the hotel, but had as yet not checked in... well there are always delays when you travel so nothing out of the ordinary there and it was past the time when you can cancel your hotel room and not forgoe the cash so one can only assume that he has been held up, so I left a message with reception for him to call me when he did arrive, not wishing to trek across town and sit about in a hotel bar for hours on my own. Reasonable behaviour would, I thought, result in a call from him once he checked in perhaps to see if it was still a possibility for me to visit, or to apologise for wasting my time etc etc...

Well it's now Monday and that call never came in and where can I rate him? Nowhere... apart from here of course where he scores an earth shatteringly low zero for being a rude, ignorant timewaster. And yes in hindsight I should have inisted on a phone call to confirm the booking, but I would really like to let other people know about the timewasters, and may be that way we as the angry union could not only improve the way this business works by being able to take more control - a three strikes and you're out policy might be nice, but also at the same time the punters who are reliable and safe would have a better time as they wouldn't be tarred with the same brush as a great many of the losers out there who have zero respect for our time and efforts.
