I have had no shows later become really good clients. I also think I?m getting really good at detecting the TWs at time of phonecall. X

Block and move on
No need wasting my energy on childish little man 

Katrina, do you think the guys will pay for a cancellation ?
I feel doubtful they would as they can't be bothered to come in the first place can't see them co operating  with giving money .

To no shows I'll continue to ignore and block. But to the short notice cancellations I'm gonna try ENB's approach "Yes that's fine, if you do wish to book again please be aware that you will have to pay an extra ?20 and upfront before I can accept another booking from you, have a lovely day" 

I'm now saying if you have not arrived within a given time  I will not message you , you are  automatically cancelled .
I don't now make further contact.

I send them a txt. Thanks for wasting  my time. Booking now cancelled. Not to worry as I have given someone else your appt. So not lost out in any money. Have a great day.

When they try to book again in the future i txt them sure ill see u. But my rates are double as u never showed up on last appt and I need the money paid in advance via bank transfer.  Funny enough many insist i have them confused with some1 else. Thats why i have no show dumbass next to your name/ number.

I never take another booking from a no show.

I just don't respond if they haven't confirmed by phone call at the time specified. I'm very strict on it. 5 mins late and I'll contact one of my back ups (if I have anyone else wanting an appt at the same time) and save them as tw in my phone.

Never respond to their fuckery and let them know you were waiting for them or were in any way affected by their timewasting. I swear it's a kind of fetish for some of these men as many are prolific, spending lots of their time contacting sex workers all over the country to get a thrill from knowing they are waiting for them and lost money. They want a reaction that's what gets them off. That's why they keep doing it over and over.
They want any response they can get so if you starve them of that interaction it puts them off trying it again with you.

I've learnt to contain my frustration and anger. Like many have said, I believe also they thrive on it. Within their sad little existence.

I always ask them to reconfirm an hour before by phone call. And to txt when 10/15 mins away.
I only finish preparing once I get that txt saying on way.
Usually time wasters give up on these hurdles. And if they still turn out to be a time waster I don't chase them up, I wait in 15 minutes. Stay gleamed up for half an hour. And then remind myself to keep calm and mark their name and number with a record of what they did. I don't block either.
Unless their rude and insulting and clearly a TW.
Real life sometimes happens. I've once missed a dentist appointment because a boyfriend was causing drama, or missed a beauty appointment because work ran over.
So if they get in touch embarrassed (which some do). I say, not to worry I got taken out for lunch or dinner instead. And if you'd like to re book a deposit needs to be sent.
At end of the day we don't know if wife suddenly turned up and caused havoc with their schedule. Or their child did. Or work and they had to hide their phone.

I give them 10 mins after the booking time, and if nothing I just block them. I don't bother texting or ringing them at all.
