God I've just had another one.
Text me last week to arrange a booking for tomorrow, one hour social time and one hour private time. I told him my rates but said if it was partly social and partly public I'd work something out for him....I thought it was obvious I meant I wouldn't be charging him for 2 hours at my full rate.
Anyway he messages me tonight to confirm, I do and say the rate will be xxxx
He responds 'Ha ha nice try, ?50 it is'.
I actually replied 'No sorry, lol'. And I am never unprofessional like that, but my god, ?50 is less than even my half hour rate, for 2 hours?
I'm off to the gym now because I despair of these people.
