Rare but I paused to think before posting

Was about to have a bit of a rant about recent below average treatment recently and join in the recent posts.

Had a shit run last couple of years, think it’s now 10 last minute cancellations for 2 to 3 hour outcalls. While always disappointing not usually an issue as shit happens and always will. Sometimes the timing just happens to be particularly crap.

Was about to do a rant at SWers and it occurred to me that dickhead clients are not helping my recreational pursuits. Many of the cancellations and changes in workers recently are all on shit clients. Each change costs time, energy and money.

Easy enough to avoid SWers that don’t provide what I’m looking for. It’s impossible to avoid changes to bookings or the way a regular works due to shit punters. When you read in here or AF it’s easy to see that there are plenty.

It can be a lot of money so easy to see why punters get butt hurt occasionally. For fucks sakes stop and think once in a while on what you are going to gain from voicing it.

Will add B&S, dishonest SWers, shit agencies aren’t an issue for how I punt. Definitely not saying it’s all roses on the other side just an issue I can avoid.

I am really trying to work out why a "shit client" impacts your bookings? And how do you know what caused those cancellations? 10 last minute cancellations sounds very odd. Are you perhaps sending out red flags? And yes it really comes across as a rant from you

I really can't see any linkage/cause/effect. Just seems to be load of assumptions and a vent!

That’s easy. Add this over a 3 to 4 years .
- stalking changed from doing outcalls
- waiting for health tests following shit client x 2
- safety following shit clients back to agency work no outcalls.
- stalking left industry
- not getting paid having to go to police to sort.

Half of the 10 would be because of clients. 1 possibly 2 would I consider outside shit happens. Book well in advance not 24 hours so things happen. Also many of those eves were salvaged with help from other SWers.

I’m one big red flag in life but not an issue with punting these days. Have had a couple of pull your head in moments. Even my biggest cock up is in the past and I still catch up with them.

Might be a rant but refocused.

Now that makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the additional information which provides context.
