Clients who act all over-romantic. I can understand it to an extent, but when they actually start talking as if you are their ACTUAL girlfriend, especially after the appointment has finished. There is a fine line with this, and sometimes I think it annoys me more than it should. But I think I'm justified in being annoyed with the very few obnoxious clients who ,
after the time is up, we are both fully dressed and they are heading for the door, start doing shit like patting my bum, groping alot, going in for a full on snog, continuing to talk about sex etc
I know I shouldn't get annoyed at the following, because I don't honestly think they mean it, they are just making conversation, but - anyone who asks casually where I like to go out, where I shop etc. I just immediately have to try to make up things on the spot and hope that I then never actually go there - just in case they are the stalker type!
Anyone who uses the words "firm up" with regards to arrangements, eg "I'll check my schedule and we can firm up the arrangements later in the week" - again, it's totally harmless but just makes me cringe. Again with the word "addy" for address.
I end up getting really pissed off at phone callers who just cannot for the life of them fathom that I may actually have a full life, responsibilities, hobbies, another job, and seem really taken aback and almost offended / rejected when I say something like "sorry I'm not available until next week". Yet they will text 2 days later in the same week and ask again
or say "could you not fit me in?" or if I ever specify certain things clearly, like "I do not work after 5pm on any day" for example, I get
loads of guys saying "I know it says you don't work after 5 but I was wondering if I could make an appointment for 8pm tomorrow night if I give enough notice?" erm.... no. Some even word it like they'd be doing me a favour (and not in a financial way), like whatever else I have to do in life must clearly be soooo unappealing in comparison with an hour with their glorious self.
- shouldn't really bother me though as I'm sure they are just desperate to see someone at their limited opportunity to get away from whatever, so I need to try to calm down about that particular issue.
