Unsolicited communication

[DukeM]

I’d prefer not to name the WG in Wellington, but there have been some posts about receiving unsolicited messages from her. I recently saw her in Wellington, and out of the blue, I received a text in the middle of the day saying, ‘Would you like to see me again today?’—it completely caught me off guard, and I haven’t responded. If this were to happen again, how would you respond asking for no unsolicited marketing?!

Reply with a dic pic. This doesn’t work with @Ivy Brooke she likes them

I’ve had a couple msgs like that over the years. Presumed they forgot Whats App only for comms. Yip just respond asking them not too.

Trying to get Ivy fired up so she can release the beast within when you book with her?

Fortunately I haven't received any of these messages (maybe because the ladies don't want to see me again), but if I do not want to be contacted I would try and politely decline and let her know.

Maybe you two have a bromance sharing dick pics with each other?

"Today won't work for me unfortunately! Just for future reference, I prefer to keep my texts about bookings as discreet as possible so in the future could you please wait for me to reach out instead of texting first? I'd really appreciate that, thank you."

This is just an overly nice text response really, but being nice about it seems like the best way to avoid any upset or hassle.

For the record, this isn't typical behaviour from a worker and shouldn't really need to be asked to begin with. Discretion should be one of a workers biggest concerns when it comes to client comms. No cold calling/texts without them being explicitly requested is one of the golden rules.

This needs to be a sticky! Some of us don't word so well.

Greater opponents have and shall continue to fail at this game!

I think I'm immune to internet rage bait at this point. Worse even, I may take some masochistic enjoyment from the attempts to be baited. I clearly still yearn for the good old days of being on the debating team. Third chair, rebuttal queen.

When you say as many words as I do, you have to get half decent at it eventually

I had one of these (possibly the same girl). I responded politely (although not as well as @Ivy Brooke) asking her not to and then got abused for it. Something along the lines of "I'll message whoever the fuck I want whenever I want".

I was recalling this situation actually when I was writing my response, I just couldn't remember who it had happened to!

Bit of a no no in my book

Received unsolicited texts? Most of us have at some point — although not often from a WG looking for business. The response options are the same: ignore it (as the OP has done), reply politely that they may have the wrong number, send a message along the lines Ivy suggested, or simply block the number.

My approach is usually to ignore the text, but if it keeps recurring, then replying or blocking the number becomes the better option.
