This is SO important for me when deciding instantly if I’m Going to accept someone’s booking.

That very first sentence when you answer their call.

*phone rings*
Me: “hello?”
Client: “Time you free?”
Me: *hangs up*

It never fails to amaze me the amount of people who call and don’t even have the decency or common sense to say HELLO.
I had this today, someone called me, I answered, they didn’t even say hello or ask if they had got the correct number - just straight in with a monotone “you free?”
URGH. It makes me so mad! I don’t even entertain them anymore, If I’m feeling that way out then I just hang up straight away. It’s like I’m not even a real person to them and they don’t need to speak to me properly.

I need to make a list of responses to the people who can’t form a decent, human interaction on the phone!! Just say HELLO, at least!

It’s such a refreshing change to answer the phone to someone who says “hello, is that ___? My name is ____. I was wondering where you’re working today and if I can see you at 2pm?”


Is it just me who gets annoyed by this?!

'A Clients Random's FIRST sentence when you answer their phone call'
Callers don't deserve to be called clients till you have their money in your paw.

Yes, since everyone got a phone, brain dead zombies have as much access to us as genuine clients.
Hanging up immediately saves your precious life seconds.
Our mission isn't really to educated them to waste our time more skillfully or teach them life skills and manners

"Where are you?." (It's in the fucking ad)

"How much?" (Its in the fucking ad)

"Hi." & then silence after I say hello back. I cannot wrestle the sentences out of you, dude. TALK!

"Hablo espanol?" (Ok it definitely doesn't say I speak Spanish in the damn ad, why are you asking? TBF that's also a pet peeve of mine).

"How much?"

"How much?"

Did I mention? "How much?"😆😆😆

I get texts which I think say a lot about a l person if they come across okay in text I will then speak to them.

 "Hi" (ignored)


"Postcode?" (Ignored)

 "where u?" (Ignored)

I much prefer

Hello ****, I'm **** age **
and British.

+1

"Postcode" hahah THIS ONE. Godddddd!!!

I bin about half of enquiries because they just talk shite in their opening sentence.

I had one fucktard the other day. Him: ' So, Modesty, what outfits do YOU have today?'

Me: 'Let me think, well I have Rosemary West and Myra Hindley or we could do Batman and Robin where I play Batman and take you up the arse in the Batcave with my 12 inch strap on.' Hang up!

I know some if that is in bad taste but these men drive me to insanity and I've lost all patience.

I only work two days a week and only have my phone number displayed on those working days - today is not a working day but I’ve already got a text saying “hun send me u address” . I need a list of quick, blunt replies!

"Someone forgot his manners today!"
"What's the magic word?"
"No"
"I'm not the hun, I'm English. You're probably looking for some German lady."
"The address for the letter "u" is ASCII 25."

I replied “why would I do that?”

"Hun, learn to read. PS ~ don't bother replying, I've blocked you since you can't read the stated obvious."
