Has anyone else every run into a client in real life?!

Today I ran into a client when I was out for lunch with a friend, and a client that I saw on one occasion about a month or 2 ago was sitting with 2 colleagues at the very next table, literally directly across from me!

  Normally I wouldn't care - it's happened before once - but unfortunately on this occasion I was wearing my old, ugly gym kit, wet, scraped back hair, no make up and had about 4 spots on my face         Seriously I nearly died!

when I saw the guy I thought, great he's really close to me, easy peasy and no taxi fees!  NO NO NO.  Bad idea.  Never expected to run into him in this venue though, which is fun but not terribly upmarket....

anyone else got any similar stories??!

yeah i see clients in the city center in the shopping center with there wifes and children doesn't fase me

i did have a problem with younger clients, they thought they could talk to me when they saw me out clubbing with my other half or friends... yeah nice one

I was out shopping with my sister and this guy was starring at me and started wayving ha ha ha my sis was like look that guy knows you ...great he started walking towards me so I walked towards him before he started yelling Renee....so much for discretion

I've had a mix of clients saying they had previously seen me out shopping.
Some of them appreciated my professional discretion by not acknowledging them, as they were with family.
HA!  Like I'd remember what they looked like, ten minutes after they walk out my door.   
 
Some people phoning for an appointment, say they had seen me outside and recognised me from ad photos.
I also had an existing client {ringing up for another appointment} saying I'd been into his branch of carphonewarehouse
the previous Friday (I had).  He asked for a half price session! So  I asked for a half priced iphone 
Needless to say no booking.
I've only been approached once by an existing client while off-duty. That was in a club. I didn't recognise him though.

The thing is that I dress totally different when not working: Little / no makeup, old jeans, vest, tatty sneakers.
(A right lezza,to quote my man-What did he expect, dating a predominately gay woman!)
And all these people say how hot I look. I suspect we are missing a trick here.
Maybe guys don't want glam, but would prefer the 'I couldn't be bothered to make any effort at all' look'.

Still getting ready puts me in a professional state of mind and I also find it empowering.

I saw two clients in one day once -- it was the first time I'd ever seen a client out in real life, so to see two within an hour of each other was like some oddity was getting me back for something.

I was out with a friend (she knows what I do), and we were waiting to go into the doctor's so she could get her injection, and he walked past while giving me this look as if to say 'Woah, you're a real human who doesn't sit around all day waiting for men to stick them.) Luckily I never leave the house without a full face of makeup and my hair done. However, I was sitting on a wall, smoking ,and acting like a typical 18 year old with a baggy jumper on, old jeans and dirty trainers. Bit different to the high-class escort routine I have going for me.

Then almost an hour later we were walking through town, windowshopping, and anther client walked past me. He gave me this awkward half-smile and averted his eyes quickly.

I probably wouldn't have remembered them, but one I'd seen the day before and one I'd seen twice within a month. Never saw either again.

I don't work within a 10 mile radius of where I live ( and I have never told a Client where I am REALLY from )

so the chances are slim but, as it usually takes 5 or more bookings with the same guy for me to remember his face, I would be blissfully ignorant anyway!

Ps; It's not just escorting-I am like this with everybody! 

I've had a few local guys find me on adultwork, and message me. The worst thing is, they recognised me from school, and I had to tell alot of lies to make them think I was using someone else's pictures  I guess it's always a risk!

Once or twice I've bumped into people either in the supermarket or in a coffee shop. Pretty awkward.
      Once I was in a local coffee shop and I bumped into a guy who was with his wife, awkward. We barely maintained eye contact.
 
  On the other hand once an older gentlemen was delighted to see me once when I was in the supermarket. He came up to me and asked me how I was and if I had been busy etc etc. I made polite small talk before insisting that I had to leave.
 
   It was pretty awkward
