Yesterday's "blind opening" man did something else which could have compromised my discretion.

He has seen me a few times and quite recently too so as with most semi regs I assume they remember my door number.  This one was a few mins late and I got a phone call. He asked was it flat no 19 and I said NO it's 18 !!

He was on his way back home as thought I was not answering my door. He turned around and came back so I didn't miss the booking but I told him next time (if there is one) I will remind him of the flat number. I think I will do this with any man I haven't seen often as when I asked him what he would have done if anyone answered no 19 (there was no one home) he was dumbstruck and had nothing to say. Had a female anwered the buzzer or even a male!  lord knows what he would have said.

It only takes one mistake to spoil it all.

Yes that irritates me too.I've had everything from 'How long would it take me to get from York?' To what train/bus would I get to get to yours and which motorway is closest to the city centre...I don't even drive so wouldn't know which motorways or roads to drive on..what's wrong with satnav or google?
I also get..Is the city centre North or South Leeds..ffs it's in the fucking centre!!!!

Many think that the customer is king. And they are too lazy to make the effort of a search.

This happened to some women and they had to move out as their neighbours found out from these mistakes punter made and neighbours got outraged, didn't like "what she was up to", made it very hard to continue.   I think it's pathetic to knock the wrong number, given the nature of this line of work (it's not something you can broadcast), but some people are too "casual" about it, don't realise the code of confidentiality women do need and want to stay discreet in the community.

Yep tourist information centre aren't we! And following on from this, 90% never say how long they want to stay & I have to ask almost every time. They think they can just roll up & decide when they get here lately.

When they arrive saying they have read all your reviews on forum so they came to see how good you are, then promptly start saying what they like (boundary pushing at its finest) thinking your going to be frightened to say no because they might put a negative on forum..You know the types you have to refuse liver licking and kidney sucking to even though their last wonderful service provider did it...  their few and far between but I get so agitated by them

I expect they are just making conversation but they sometimes ask 'So how many do you see in a week?'.  It is a bit like saying how much do we earn.  We don't ask them but I don't think they mean it to sound like that lol.
