What is the silliest excuse a hobbiest/provider has made to cancel an appointment?

Here is my latest one:

"Uhh baby I can't make it tomorrow because my company just called a few minutes ago and I have to be in Brazil by 9am tomorrow morning."

Mind you he called be at 8pm the day before. I never knew there was such a great demand for American construction workers in Brazil. lol.

I booked a lady way in advance, like 4-6 weeks. Then changed my mind. I tried to cancel way in advance also, like 2 weeks or more. Figured it was no big deal. She got really pissed. Wound up seeing her after all.

Just call me pussy whipped.

[BTW, I thought the cancellation lead time was more than sufficient.]

Its not the cancellations themselves that bother me especially when they are 24hrs or more out. In the case of the posted example I rebooked his appointment time by the next morning no biggie. I am just poking fun at the funny things people say to get out of stuff.

If it's a last minute cancellation I will be very disappointed but I won't show him that I am/insult him.. lol. I've seen it happen and it's ugly. London Rayne taught me a fool proof way to avoid cancellation meltdown and I heart her for it

Sick child or not they'll get the same reaction from me. I understand that things do come up. I also have family obligations so I know how that is. Lol @ the gospel song at talent show. You are too much girl! So so so true!

Mine went to Austraila but I believe this one.

I don't book again with anyone who cancels on me without some sort of fee, unless I have seen them before or really WANT to see them. Not worth the freakin hassle.

Most of the time it's some girl at half your rate who showed up the day before you got there. The lame excuses don't fly.
I just always hear work/sick. I don't try and speculate truth/lie. Everything is always just the way it should be.

Mine was legit in going to Australia for emergency consultant work. Gave London enough time (3 days) to find replacement. I do know this that the ladies are different over there.
This shit works both ways. I've had NCNS. I had a call 35 min before the scheduled date saying she was running 4 hours late. WTF??? I canceled.

Mostly what I get is a lady who is anywhere from 15-45 min late w/o a call. I'm stickler for punctuality, so it pisses me off and ruins the session.
