I get a lot of dead grandmothers.

The last time that someone told me that, I told him if I had a nickel (in today's economy, let's make it an even buck) for everyone who ... well, you know the rest.

Dead grandmothers abound in all aspects of life.

Cancelling appointments are always annoying, for men and women. But like I try to tell others who will listen to my often long winded blather, it's just an inherent part of this business.

I just meant it's a common excuse. Yeah, my homework ate the dog.

I'm already having a bad day!. So to hell with canceling an appointment I need to "extend" our appointment, and I need a drink!

How about the provider ncns excuses? A few I've heard:
  • My cellphone died, was stolen/lost/got rained on/etc. (probably the most used)
  • My car died/had an accident/etc.
  • I had a family emergency/death/etc.
  • I got hurt and can't perform
  • I got arrested
  • Out-of-sequence time-of-the-month

Hopefully some of you have some more creative ones...

She was charging her phone and she didn't hear it.

Inside my head I was going:

"I'm gonna bang you so hard when we work this shit out....."
I took care of my boner while waiting for you to text back and confirm.our appointment......

Not one I've used, but it might be true if I ever say something about the dog eating your contact info and my phone.

Haha Mr. Gambino I could listen to your compliments all day !

Seriously though, I've never met so many guys with headaches in such a short period of time! Originally Posted by Jillian Price
