I told him I perhaps could see him around noon, but I would call if I was up by 11am.(I didnt call,you why are you calling me)  I bartend so this is why early appointments are hard for me. I JUST woke up & he has called over 100 times and left 30 vm. What should I do. I personally wouldnt call someone that much its creepy.

Ummm.....Sorry, I'll quit calling.

JK

He has called from different numbers now! Omg

Let's set the record straight shall we.
I assume I am the "caller" in question. Ginger did not in fact say she would call me when she was up. She had in fact agreed to 9 am on Saturday. We AGREED on this time. I called at the appointed time and got her V/M. I left a message that I was in the area and needed the rest of the directions. I stated I would try calling every 15 minutes in hope that her cell phone would wake her. (apparently the last remaining cell on the planet that DOES'T have an alarm). I gave up after an hour and went home. She called me later in the day and appologized to me saying she was "sooo sorry" (text available on request). I asked her what time "would" work for her today (Sunday). She told me noon (with no mention of her calling me to confirm she was awake). I set out to the general area before noon. I called at 11.45 to say I was in the area early. As I again had adjusted my schedule to accomodate her after she had already stood me up the prior day. I told her no problem that she didn't answer because I was early. I waited until 12 again to call. Again, no answer. I told her up front on her voicemail that I would be calling every 15 minutes, again hoping in vain that her phone would wake her from her Rumplestiltzkin-like slumber, alas to no avail. I tried until 2, far longer than I should have but, as the saying goes, fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I should never have given her a second her a second chance but I am a sucker (more than I thought apparently - and will gladly accept the well deserved "I told you so's!!!") for a pretty face.

Given the other 2 threads on here about Ginger's now well deserved reputation for NCNS, I will leave the educated readee to determine who is telling the true version of events here and who is full of excuses and lies.... again.

Be honest with the poor sap. Tell him that you're really not that great anyway.

     She has a pretty face!  Needs her beauty sleep.

there are providers that can be counted on. I don't get it.

Enough with the Ginger bashing.
so what she ncns and flaked. You don't have to see her.
But
Phone harassment is a serious issue.
How about calling police instead of complaining here? Regardless of what you do in your life.

        I was not trying to bash at all.  She has a VERY pretty face.  I going to try and see her.

Read my earlier post. I only called when I thought she might actually keep the appointment. All she had to do was pick up once and say no thanks. Once I finally got a hold of her (by calling her from another number) she texted me. Once it became clear that she is more interested in playing games and having people drive all over town for no reason, I have not and will not call her again. Again, if she had no intention of keeping the appointment, all she to do was answer one call or text and say so. I would hardly call it harrassment. And she started this thread, not me. I am just setting the record straight. I was going to just let it go amd not even bother posting her NCNS since there are multiple threads that already are devoted to that fact. My mistake for not believing the earlier threads. At least it was a free lesson except for the 3 total hours I waited pointlessly waiting for her to answer her phone to keep the appointment times SHE set.

It seems like we're increasingly giving providers the benefit of the doubt even when they're grossly in the wrong. Not picking sides but the guy was called out and had to defend himself. She's getting a reputation for ncns so I'll give HIM the benefit of the doubt. I've been stood up more times than I'd like to say and it's unacceptable. Let's put our White Knight gear away and be real.

DUDE , who calls providers a hundred times really. From my understanding it seems your trying to force her to see you.

Move on find another provider bashing this one isnt helping and other providers read the board so you may be hurting your chances to meet with them.

FYI Its posted every other week for something she did wrong : NCNS, flake what not. She's given valid explanations more than once whether true or not is moot
its obviously not changing anything she does or preventing her from getting business .
I completely agree that its rude and unprofessional however if you don't learn the first time...

gg89-- you must be obsessed with this girl..After waiting all the time you did the 1st time ,then go back again----Move on. there are many great providers here .Do a little research. My rule is i wait no longer that 15 minutes ,unless there is a good reason,and communication.After that the mood is broken and i move on..i would also single out the NCNS and move on. Ginger---if the calls persist ,then you should black list him  it is creepy.  

Speaking in third person?

IMO Ginger likes the notoriety and is fueling the controversy with this post and others. We are probably just helping her stay "in the news".

gg89 spells out his own obsessive actions and blames Ginger for HIS behavior?? This goes way beyond "fool me twice."

And it seems like Ginger is either very good at getting attention or doesn't know how to simply block a call. I'm guessing the former.

it is, but there's no excuse for a NC/NS.

Ginger, why didn't you just answer one of his calls and tell him you changed your mind, or anything, except keep him in limbo?

Of course he's going to call you.  You had a date.  What did you expect him to do?

This whole drama could have been avoided if you would have had the courtesy of answering the phone and letting him know what was happening.

It's really not that hard.

I know this is none of my business, but I'm just tossing in my 2¢.

Hugs,

Thank you Jane. That is all she had to do and common courtesy called for. Yes. I called every quarter hour. Yes. I was pissed because she had done the same thing to me the day before and appologized. Lesson learned. Sticing with the 15 minute rule and moving on to a more reputable provider.

Shame on BOTH of you!!!

I'm not going to comment on the right or wrong of the actions of gg89.  I know if a provider changed her mind a simple "Sorry I changed my mind" would do it for me.   I would accept e-mail, phone call or txt and move on with my life.  No communication just leaves my quessing.  I do thank the posters for all the ginger posts the last week or so.  I can offically take her of my list.  Saves me the drama

why dont you close this thread  enough drama to last a lifetime  move on

“The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.”

Just checked her ad.  Boy does it hurt to put her on my own little blacklist.

So you don't know if the person is awake, or even home, but you drive out anyways? Maybe someone has a headache, maybe they just bought Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and don't feel like having visitors.

What works for me in the opposite with who I see? We set an appointment, and she does not leave until she hears from me. She does not set an appointment until I confirm it. There is no confusion, and thus we both save ourselves the headache of ever having any issues. Ginger clearly said she was going to call you, and you did not hear from her. You know what? PM her, or even just text her...once. If she does not respond then so be it. Calling every 15 minutes....dumb. Driving out without confirming...equally dumb.

Some people will set up an appointment and have to drive a considerable distance; couple of hours for some of us.  Plus get a room. You don't want to be a PITA by making calls to confirm an appointment that was already set up. And before you try and contact another provider you really would like to know if it truly is a NCNS or your just dealing with a flake(which many of them are). It would be very inconsiderate to arrange a appointment with another provider and have the flake show up. A person can wind up with completely wasted day trying to find a back-up.

I had contacted Ginger before I read this thread.  Frankly, after reading it I was concerned about a cancellation or NCNS happening with my appointment with her.

But it didn't.  In fact, my experience with her was exactly the opposite of what has been written about Ginger.  Admittedly she was a few minutes late due to unexpected family obligations, but she genuinely apologized and our appointment came off without a hitch.

In fact, my time with her was everything I had hoped for and then some!  Ginger is a class act, albeit with a lot on her plate as she admits.

Maybe it's a YMMV thing.  Clearly she got bad vibes from the excessive calls, texts and voice mails. Who wouldn't?  Ginger also explained that she is especially wary because of previous client problems, and after hearing her story I'm inclined to believe her.

Nonetheless, there is NO excuse for a provider not to call ASAP if needing to cancel an appointment for whatever reason, even when it's awkward or difficult to do so.  It's a "golden rule" thing - How would YOU feel if someone NCNS'ed you?  Not very good, I'll bet.

Time will tell how Ginger handles this in the future, but I'm REALLY glad to have spent time with her...

Enough bashing on both sides.  Point made...   It's time to move on.
