I don't know about you guys, but when someone asks why I need to talk to his wife/girlfriend/fuckbuddy about the couple booking he's enquiring about, I always tell the truth. So a few days ago I had this conversation:
Him: I saw on your website that you're bisexual. My wife has never been involved in any kind of lesbian sex and so we'd like to see you together. Is that something you'd be willing to do?
Me: Yes, sure, but I'll need to talk to your wife first.
Him: Is that to make sure she's ok with it?
Me: Well partly, but mostly it's to make sure she exists. Most requests for couple bookings are actually from single men.
Him: Oh, I see. Well I'm just checking things out and then she'll see if she wants to go ahead, so if she's interested she'll call you.
Me: Great! Bye.
I thought it was cute how quickly and civilly we came to an understanding. I also appreciated that someone who gets his rocks off by lying to hookers was at least classy enough to not feign outrage.
Then there was the thing last week where I accidentally wasted a timewaster's time. I had a call from someone I'd logged as TW, so I ignored it. I looked to see if he'd leave a message but there was nothing.
A few hours later I checked my phone and saw voicemail. No missed call, but I was in an area with bad signal. I got the number and waited through a few minutes of beeping as he put my voicemail on hold. I called him, and about a minute into the call remembered the timewaster I'd ignored and realised that if that was him I wouldn't have seen the message appear since it was so long. I had to hang up to see if the number was the same, so I said my signal was bad and I'd call him back. He spent about two hours trying to call me, the tried it again the next day.
