This really annoys me;
Had a client ring me, spent a good few texts,emails finding best day/time for a two hour booking, as he can only do during the week, not weekends, then cancel in the morning of booking, with poor excuse, only one text;
HIM: had a bit of an accident, you know what I mean!, sorry can't make tonight.
What accident? No I don't know what you mean? Lol
Then later on that afternoon asks to book tomorrow for two hours told him ( truthfully not pushing him away or lying to him ) that I'm not free till Tuesday morning five days from now,
HIM ; ok can we just do the original time today, go back to our normal appointment?
ME ; sorry that slot has been filled now, Tuesday morning earliest time I can fit you in.
HIM ; but I only cancelled this morning? A few hours ago, can't you cancel the other person as that was my time?
ME ; excuse me? Your time? You cancelled so rebooked somebody , plus I don't appreciate you saying its your time, you cancel a booking it gets filled, works through life that way with anything.
No reply, but did get phone call 1955 from him ( 5 mins before phone gets switched off ) a good few hours from last text message.
HIM; can I book Tuesday morning then? Sorry for today ( and let's out a whimper on the phone?

)
ME ; nope it's booked up till Tuesday night now I'm afraid! ( just had a confirmed booking about an hour previous lol )
HIM ; bloody hell you get booked quick or is this a decoy? You don't want me to book?
ME ; as explained on previous emails/phone calls only do 3 bookings a day, and I fill slots quick, come back to me when you have decided.
Do clients honestly think we won't fill slots if we have a cancellation? And just keep open there cancellation times? Just in case they have a change of heart? God if that was right I think I'd only work a couple of hours a week!
Sorry for the rant!
