Since a two minute walk took 10 minutes to explain I nip them in the bud now. They irritate me so much I repeat twice only then switch off the phone and cup of tea. And there's always something wrong with em brain-wise if you let them in.

Today - called ten times even though profile says no calls
I finally text him: “no calls please”
Him: I don’t understand

...

Since taking deposits I now use an SMS text for directions, which to date has gotten everyone to the door.

Prior to this I had a very difficult time, even when using a sight point I'd point out the door which was different size, colour, had number clearly displayed, caller could even see me at a window yet quite a few still knocked on a different door or would talk loudly into their phone outside mine and other properties loud enough to be heard from indoors.

I blocked one today for being the first person in sixteen months to be unable to find my building despite being pretty much across the road from it.

He had the street and postcode in the morning plus details of two landmarks which I'm smack inbetween (which narrows it down to a roughly twenty metre stretch of road in a small and largely non-residential street) and was given the building number, further directions and a description of the exterior when he called. In addition the building, like many in the area, has a prominent and obvious plaque on the outside with the address on it  .

He hung up on me twice even though I asked him to stay on the phone, and eventually started trying again roughly fifteen minutes later by which time there was eleven minutes of his booking left. If he'd got as far as finding out my flat number I'd have let him in and taken his money for that, too. He originally turned up over ten minutes early and seemed surprised that I wasn't ready, even though he chose the time when he booked .

Fingers crossed that's it for another sixteen months 

I've actually seen him before, but it was at a hotel a couple of years ago - I've no reason to think he wasn't there and he made pretty heavy weather of trying to find the place. Although he did ask for the nearest station when it's on the top line of my AW profile which made me  a bit (and nobody gets the flat number until I can see them clearly on my video entry whether they're in the street or not).

I sacked it and went to Sainsbury's instead

How they function in their day to day life I dont know!
But some clients are able to listen to same instructions and are clued up fortunately

While this sounds sexist I try to give them “ men landmarks “😂 so petrol station, pubs   garage  car park wherever possible
My friend had an apartment that was above a nail shop & beauticians salons punters could never find it
When I told her to change the landmark to the pub which was opposite the nail salon they all managed to find it 🙄
