This is the one and only time I have ever hung up on a client. This was before I started requiring a companion reference and relied solely on my gut feeling.  We were confirming the final arrangements for a visit later that evening.


-The gentlemen wanted to make sure I would arrive alone, without a driver.  No problem.  

-He then would not give me a specified length of time for my visit.  He said if he liked me, I could stay for 2 or more hours.  Slight red flag.  

-When I asked for his address, he gave me the address of a parking garage near his apartment.  He wanted me to call him when I arrived so he could watch me walk to his apartment.  Another slight red flag.

Taking all his requirements in to consideration, I told him that I felt uncomfortable with the details of our visit and would not be able to visit him.  He started yelling at me, as loud as he could, that I was being stupid because I was backing out of a lot of $$$ in addition to a bunch of cuss words.  I was stunned, I did not know how to reply, so I just hung up on him.

Individually, his requirements were not out of line.  But, combining them made me very uncomfortable.
