Why is it so hard to be on time?

On that note.......

What do you feel is appropriate in regards to gentlemen being late. I am not talking about the douche bag who just can't seem to get their shit together. I am talking about when they have made the effort to be there but something has caused a delay and they have kept you in the loop about how far away they are, when they are trying to arrive etc.

If you schedule for an hour and due to circumstances beyond their control they are 15-30 minutes late. If you are not able to accommodate them for more than the scheduled hour...do you expect to pay the full donation? just do half an hour and get the fully scheduled donation? What do you guys and gals think is fair?

Hopefully she doesn't have anything scheduled for a bit and is understanding of the situation...especially if it was beyond my control and I kept her informed. Mutual consideration goes a long way toward follow up visits.

If she's late getting to me and then says, "I can only stay for 30 minutes," I'm not paying her for the hour. Not my fault...shouldn't cost ME. She should understand that and, if we have a great time, I'll do a full hour follow up.

SayWhat........YEP!!!!!

As usual you speak my language!

I don't tolerate chronic lateness from my doctor either. I have left more than one doctor's office because of lateness. I always schedule the first or second appointment of the day to avoid delays. If the doc is running late first thing in the morning then he/she has no respect for my time and go find another doctor. Originally Posted by oldmarine

I've had my share of chronically late doctors who pop in and spend 2 minutes in the room. Usually the office was very mismanaged. There is no excuse at all.

I have no tolerance for it from doctors. They are supposed to be professionals of the highest order, and have an entire staff to help run their business. I light their ass up every time they run late, and I'm sure there is a note in my file that says "grouchy old man". But the last time they were running an hour behind they called me and told me so I could plan accordingly. Probably had something to do with me reminding them that while it made them feel important to call us "patients" we are actually their customers and without us they would be emptying bedpans in nursing homes.

I agree with you in an office practice setting. But take scheduling surgery. You probably don't want the doc to schedule enough time between each operation to account for every conceivable complication in each operation. He needs one or two stacked up and ready to go to use his time efficiently.

I had a lady schedule for 6, push it back to 8, text and ask to move it back up to 7, then when I got there told me I could wait in the bar, she should be ready in 30 min...Then she got mad and couldn't understand why I left.

The beautiful thing is that we don't have to understand why most women are always late. (I know not all of them, girls on time - don't throw any rocks, please!). In real life or hobby, they are first, WOMEN! That's why I'm here. I'm not scheduling service from a plumber, I'm getting the most precious thing a woman has for an hour.

I don't try to understand, it just is that way and I accept it, and I have an awesome time with them. I just love women too much to have a little thing like being late bother me. I'm there to love them for an hour, and love is acceptance of ones virtues and defects.

I thought this thread was going to be about Holly & Rod.

Just to clarify, I thought TTH meant acute care settings.

Both EXCELLENT answers! I think with communication, respect for others time (from both ends) and a good attitude it just builds for a great session.

I know one reason!

A few times I was late because I was masturbating and I was so close for so long.
I couldn't stop to get the door, I had to cum first, I was stuck...

So I no longer masturbate before sessions.

Could NOT agree more...HATE the waiting game. Will not see a provider again if she makes me wait. Sorry but everyones time is valuable. I find it incredibly rude to make someone wait.

I am just going to throw in an example of something that happened last night,
in regards to, some things are just beyond your control..
communication is key!

I had went to grocery store 90 min before set apt time,
I do have a young one so I am a bit of a multi tasker.
I get back into my car with an hour to spare,
I turn the key and my battery is dead!!

The first thing I do is text my client and let him know the situation,
and I may be running a little behind, and I will keep him updated.
He says no problem and thanks me for letting him know.

Now I get my car jumped,
run home and make some finishing touches to myself..lol
the whole time we are texting play for play.
I get back into my car and of course,
need to be jumped again just to make it to my IC location.

So I get there and about 10-15 behind,
but with great surprise, he was so sweet and understanding.
As a matter of fact, kind of happy because he was rushing himself to make it on time and was good for him to stop and relax a minute before meeting.

Now I can't say it works out this way all the time , because timing is everything.
If I know I will be running behind by more than ten min I will make sure the other client has timeframe open or I have either rescheduled or offered a discount for their troubles.

It does not happen very often, but it does happen with everyone.
I try my best to be on time, but things happen!
Needless to say, he did have to give me a jump just to make it back home..lol.

So on my TDL list this morning... New Battery! lol

I just wanted to write this because I appreciate those who understand and are patient with us ladies. A lot of us mean well and really do try to be on time.
If we are running late, most of the time it is with a good reason.

Fried chicken is never late.
