Just this really.

Had someone who I've seen before but not for ages email me Friday afternoon about a booking on the 13th. I don't remember this man and he didn't say the length of time or what he wants on that day. I actually had someone in mind of who it could be but I can't be certain. He says to email him back to confirm which I didn't do as he doesn't want to see me until the 13th!!!! That isn't even this week!

He sent me a text just now telling me he'd emailed me. His emails went to junk anyway. The fact that I read them only because I happened to check that folder is not the point, I was going to email him tomorrow to ask him to phone me nearer the time as I do not confirm appointments so far in advance. He might have the software to see what time I'd read the email, but that's not the point.

He's an absolute cockwomble for his attitude. I said to him that I don't always respond straight away to emails on or around the weekend as I don't always work them and I don't work all the time.

What an absolute self entitled tosser! God forbid that I might have actually been taking time off or busy with other things. How awful to presume I'm entitled to a life outside of this!

Really fed up of this attitude  People are so entitled these days it's shocking.

Put up an autoresponse on AW (I’m guessing this is where he emailed you).

I was fed up dealing with belends.

If someone has seen me before they get the automated response with further instructions/details etc and the ones that haven’t, don’t follow up with a call as they are mostly wankers sitting on their computers thinking they’re on a dating site.

I love the automated response as you’re not ignoring them but they can’t kick off because you’ve told them exactly how to contact you from there.

They all assume we’re on the job 24/7.

No, not AW. Just my email address. 99% of men know it's reasonable I have a life outside this. But he wanted a booking nearly 2 weeks in advance, could understand it more if it was the next day.

I don’t answer emails now. I find it a complete waste of my time, as proved by one I’ve just opened out of curiosity that I received this morning.

Would I give him a 5 minute booking for £20!!!

This is why I don’t answer now.
