Don't be fooled my friend, BP, SW, Eccie is all under the same umbrella, The rules remain the same or do you really believe you have found the holy grail here?

If you have to sort and fold your laundry, you would understand that it's not just laundry, but different categories of laundry. You would know not to mix certain things when you do the wash, or you end up with dingy laundry, rather than bright whites, permanent press, or even wash but do not dry well maintained fabrics or materials. That which should be washed in cold, warm, or even hot water in order for it to be maintained as it is meant, will not go in the pile of laundry it isn't meant to if you know these things. Some laundry is hand wash only, some you dry in the dryer, some must be hung to dry and some of it must be professionally dry cleaned in order to maintain what it is. Once dried, you wouldn't put your undies in a drawer with your towels and sheets. You don't use your curtains to dry the dishes or make the bed. Perhaps you do not understand the need to separate items that are in the category of laundry, and that's why you think we should all fit under the same umbrellas?
The rules concerning laundry might apply to women in this business. If you want a well kept or maintained piece of laundry, you will learn to understand that different rules apply, than the rules you applied to the laundry you pulled out of a laundry basket where nothing was separated or had been maintained in a manner other than every other piece of laundry had been.
If you can not understand this analogy. Gather up every piece of material in your home, wash it all in hot water and detergent. See what happens. It will be clean and that's all matters, right? You thinking that there is only one rule concerning laundry, simply caused a great big mess. Please do not insist to others the only rule to apply to get materials clean is to wash it in hot water and detergent. Try looking at the labels as most materials give specific cleaning directions, because folks forget that not all the rules apply to every one piece of material, even if it's all material.
I hope that helps. If not...carry on...I tried. LOL Originally Posted by MaxiMilyen

The phone call before set the session price/parameters and after arrival, for example, he wanted much more for that price. I've never been FS. It's just not what I do. He should have paid me and had the session he booked, instead of attempting to haggle further.All of your examples are really bad behavior and I can see how that would really get under your skin. Negotiating ahead of time is one thing and maybe bad enough to not see somebody. But if you did come to an agreement before the session and changing the terms of that agreement once there is complete BS (Right Carla Sweets?).
Another session, he paid, session was underway and he asked for extras after understanding the limits to the session. I declined and was badgered until I had to ask him to leave.
Threatened with bad reviews After session begins, demands are made and I refuse to provide "A" for "B". I get popcorn and say, "go ahead".
Insisting on more session for the money because I'm older, bigger, __________<-----insert BS here.
Booking a 90 minutes session and after staying for an hour and firing himself off by accident, wants a refund of the last 30 minutes because he's now ready to leave.
Booking, showing up, wanting to renegotiate on site before session begins.
The only respectable haggler I've run into, did want to change the session but after I declined, he asked what he owed me for the conversation.
I'm sure there are other ways to renegotiate but these are a few I've experienced. Not all were BP clients either. several claimed to be ECCIE. 0% represented themselves as P411 though. Lurkers seem to be very well behaved. I appreciate all of you who treat us ladies respectfully and who value the gifts we bring to the table. Thank you! Originally Posted by Dharma

My wife does my laundry. Originally Posted by L.A.This does not surprise me. Women are normally the ones in a relationship who take care of such tasks. Makes life a lot less complicated, right? One rule, put it in the hamper and she figures out the rest of the rules. Not that no men can do laundry, cause I know some gents that are really good at it.

If it were so, you wouldn't insinuate I went off topic, when you did so first. Kinda tells me you don't really believe what you say at all, or you take advantage of the rules don't apply, but others shouldn't. LOL Originally Posted by MaxiMilyen
