Los Angeles -
Even though your Lakers continually destroy the hopes and dreams of my Phoenix Suns, I thought I'd give you quick feedback of a new provider in your area - "Princess Ariel" - TER#234846.
I cannot leave a formal review because TER does not allow reviews on provider no-shows. But, wanted to share my experience.
I set up an appointment via text the night before the appointment. I gave Ariel my information, my TER handle and anything she needed to feel comfortable. She was friendly and confirmed an appointment at 10am the next morning.
I drove about 40 minutes to her incall cross streets. Sent a text at 9:45, 9:55, 10:05, 10:15. No response, no show from Ariel. Well, crap...I just drove 40 minutes to her incall area. But gave her the benefit of the doubt that she overslept and expected an apology text later in the day.
That text never came.
A few days later, I responded to one of her ads on BP called "The Dirty Little Secret." This is the verbatim conversation:
From: Doogiemo
Is the dirty little secret that you make appointments, have your client drive across town and then ignore texts and no show for the 10am appointment? When I drove all the way to **** and ******* last week I texted you over and over. If you overslept, that's fine. But you never acknowledged or apologized for your no-show - after I drove 80 minutes round trip to get to you.
I'm very disappointed. But, it would have been nice to at least have you apologize for making an appointment and then no-showing.

Well that's your choice , and you can be upset all you want .
If someone ignores me i would just move on .
Which is probably what you should do .
I had a weird feeling about you .
So id rather not see you .
Tooodles !

If providers get a weird feeling about somebody, they ABSOLUTELY have the right to CANCEL. Not no-show - but CANCEL. Plus, I'm a 14 year TER veteran, white-listed with impeccable references so "weird feelings" were obviously just an excuse to treat a hobbyist like crap.
Maybe she knew she was moving to LA so her reputation wouldn't follow her. Well, here you go.
This isn't intended to punish this horrible excuse for a provider as much as it is to warn you guys that she's your problem now. Be careful.
