Topic: yet another crazy client, this time turned stupid!
As respect, I decided not to create a new thread and 'hog' the forum with another of my misfortunes. But I will use this thread to tell my story...
although I dont often run into bad clients, once in awhile I do and yesterday afternoon had met a client who I previously met before. He was very complicated this time, took 20 minutes to find me in the parking garage when I arrived, which already had me pissed. Although he gave me his apt # I found the premises to be a labyrinth (spelling, oops?) so insisted he just meet me outside. When I showed up, he said he had x amount and that he wanted to drive to the atm to get the rest. So at that point we leave, and instead I follow him to the atm. I watched closely and seen the money come out.
We returned and the place was a mess and disordered, cats running everywhere which was making me sick. We argued a bit cause he made a fuss about giving me the money when we got back. He kept trying to get me to do stuff, kissing me but I got up and said Im not doing anything, where's the fee first. He then opened his wallet, and low and behold there was nothing in it. The $300 had 'disappeared'. He kept saying how he was sorry, that he's 'fucked up'. I didnt accept cause I drove for 45minutes from where I live to get bullshit. He spends another 15-20 min. looking for the money as if he set it down someplace. At that point I knew he was hiding it. Then out of no where he tells me to get the hell out of the house and he wouldnt give me anything then pushes me thinking I was stealing something, then I pushed him down on the floor. I didnt leave out completely empty handed but I did leave with no money.
If anything Im also upset at myself for having trusted this fool, even though we met before. I was just being too nice, as usual...and he took clean advantage of it. He took forever to get the money to me, which if it was a first-timer I'd been of left out of there. Im just glad we didnt do everything, but he still made moves on me. It was a complete waste of trip, could have turned out worse with one or both us in jail. I just cut my losses and left though. It was a shame as he seemed like a good guy which could have been a good session, but he acted like an idiot and ruined it.
I applaud Brandy and others who seem to NEVER have crzy clients but I am almost wowed at how they manage to not run into such crazy clients as I do. These people are upper middle class to upper class yet when they call up a young black guy like myself they do it when they are high or not in the right mind and these are the ones who cause me grief. Im just learning lessons one booking at a time but they are painful indeed
