Preface: I am an older guy, anywhere from 15-50 years older than the ladies I have patronized during the 12 years I have been a paying-VIP here.  Manners today are  less common than they were in the 1950's and 60's; however, I do not tolerate poor “customer service” from a provider with whom I have made an appointment.

But it is your money and your time. Can't fault you for walking when disappointed. I have done so myself on more then one occasion. It takes a bit more to disappoint me then not standing by the door though.

One hing around a provider incall that a hotel could get you the cop call on you many the hotel staff watch what happing.  
If you don't acctual see a lady I dont think you can do a review because no money was exchanged.
More I do this putting up wih bad customer service could get you rip off.

get rigid and caught up in their beliefs of what is right and wrong, and they lose sight of humanity. Being human has to come first before right or wrong.  

Everyone is human, even the most despised person imaginable is human. If grown adults can't keep a appointment(when they are already there) fuck them, they don't deserve anyone's support  

I also understand the fact that human beings are imperfect...

When it comes to gentlemen being late especially without a heads up, I give them no more than 10 mins to further waste my time. In most cases its less than 10 mins. I make exceptions for traffic and wrong turns but thats it.  

but you have to understand that the hobby business is different from dealing with  Fortune 500 company.

Every job I ever had was(time sensitive) if I wasn't on time, or where I needed to be at a set time I would be fired. and I wasn't paid $400.00 a hour. I have no sympathy for people who can't keep schedule.

Life happens when we least expect it. You don't know who that woman was speaking with on the phone. Sure, it could have been Flaco. However, did you ever think that perhaps it was a family member with some tragic news that could not be ignored. We actually have real lives and real life is anything but perfect. Now, if you are keeping company with girls that are 50 years your junior...that's your own handicap. Can't blame kids for behaving like kids.

dumping providers.  I'm guessing there's way more than the 3... hey, it's your dollar.  

and to think I called you a "humorless fuck"

If you're on a tight schedule, perhaps you might mention the importance of timing on that particular date.  
I don't find providers arrive outside of what I consider on time. I also never schedule where I have to rush  
to a date or back from a date. I'm about relaxing and enjoying my time with the provider. If I'm able to get
off a second time, you won't hear me saying that I gotta be somewhere baby, hold that thought

as for the rest of it, Yeah What Fish Said.  

You sound rather gloaty about your rigidity. Bonus points for the inclusion of the providers' pursuing you upon your departure, clearly devastated to have missed you. LMAO

Go to the market and get a water melon and drill a hole in it.      The human race would not even exist if men didn't wait on women.     Think about the encounter and you can get through it.    I hung out in Hobby Lobby a while and didn't find anything for the hobby before I went to the gate.
My appointment was 15 Min late to call the code # .   I also hunted in the big apartment complex for 15 minutes and she finally had to come get me.    Didn't know where I was or where my car was at that point.   Me walking around with a hard on having taken the V.   The lady even had to help me find my car after the date to get rid of me.    S___ happens .     But boy did I have a good time.  
Hobby On!!!!!

I think that is the best advice.  A little heads up to providers about your priorities can likely prevent both of you from wasting time.

I agree that "communication" as a whole has gone down the toilet in today's society and in business in general, no matter what business it is. And in this business especially, it's flaking on both sides, if I speak from the ladies perspective as well. Perfect examples of ladies not following thru or basically ignoring you right in your face is just unacceptable. On the other side, the men here who "attempt" to book with you not providing what they "know" is necessary is all just (IMO) getting a little out of control. Not sure what is in the air these days, but something most deff is and people need to wake up lol.  

this glimpse into the mind of a complete asshole.  Your reputation remains intact.  

Here are some of my own stories.  Even early on in my hobby, I did plenty of reading, both on here and on providers' own websites.  So when I was contacting a provider, I knew what I was doing.  And yet...

Women owe him a favor.

And while I was trying to be nice, a weakness of mine here, I don't think you were that harsh. At least no harsher then he is at any rate. And admit it I am still a "humorless Fuck". My "ivory tower" just isn't as lofty.

I probably would have handled some of those situations a little bit differently but I do agree with your conclusion. I wouldn't see any of them again. I learned my lesson about driving to an incall, I NEVER NEVER start driving unless I get at least one text confirming our appointment is still on, and even that is no guarantee, as you just learned. Bad TCB girls will eventually pay the price by loosing clients.

I never had a provider put me on hold for hours on end. Just saying. LOL

Also, maybe avoid BP and you'll get better service

I would never have met my ATF or a couple of the other lovely women currently in rotation.  I'm glad I'm not you.

Life does happen but I won't stand at the door for very long.  But she might just be in the bathroom & wouldn't you want her to wash her hands before touching you?  I agree the clock is running.  2 minutes is a long time to be standing at the door.  
I know the traffic / weather hassles & learned to be early...  after quickly checking the location, I withdraw to the corner coffee shop to wait.  Sometimes, I even make the call from there (depends on the gal).  I time my return to be correct.  
If she asked me to wait, I would for a brief time but NOT at the door & not outside a hotel.  Again, I'd probably go to the coffee shot or drive around the block.  I haven't been in this situation, but I'd ask how long she needs.  5-10, ok...  coffee shop.  Longer than that, it's just not going to work, Bye!

I know it seems like the professional, respectful thing would be for all ladies to be waiting at the door for you.  And plenty of us do that..... but please understand that not all of our callers come right up, even when they SAY they're on their way up.  

But what was a common theme in the OP's thread was that several attempts were made i.e. calls/knocks at the door/voice messages left.  I think more bias is being placed on the providers life, circumstances, etc. and not considerate of the client.  I know providers look at us as $, but clients do have jobs, lives, errands to run etc.  Not speaking for all hobbyist, but when I schedule an appointment it is on most cases time specific.  I wouldn't schedule a time knowing that I have additional commitments as well as daily considerations that may factor in me not being able to keep that appointment time or cause me to be late.  And if I am running late I will keep her abreast of the situation.  I understand that "Life happens," i.e. flat tire, traffic, no available parking, kid got sick, death in the family etc.  All plausible and forgivable IMO.  But at the very least (just short of a provider's fingers falling off or her phone suddenly exploding) responding to a text, phone call, voice message prior to multiple knocks at the door should be the standard.

seconds seem like minutes as nosy neighbors, hotel guests or housekeeping zero in on you just standing there.  I can pretend to be on the phone sitting in the lot.  I feel naked standing at the door for more than a few seconds.

2 bucks is 2 bucks.

including Lion-Butt, who can be counted on to have time to waste.  (His 8 "likes" must have been from other youngsters who also sit on the john while reading their "smart" phones.)  The word "waste" is appropriate for the content of what he usually posts.
----------------------------------

I agree that the sense of devastation to have missed the OP is a bit too prominent.  Ending with 'so I walked away' would have made the point.

the op should reserve his strict standards for punishing professional subs.  they would appreciate his self-righteousness.

OK, I'll shut up now...

It will materialize and cut you in half, just like Candyman. :-0

Any delays while outside the door for more than 30 seconds, or if I have to knock twice or more, are extremely discomforting, and potentially risky.  While I would probably have handled the situations described by the OP differently, and with more tolerance given that I've already invested significant time in traveling to her incall, his point is well taken.

He'd end up back in Kansas...

If no one gave the correct response in your opinion could it be possible you are the one wrong? True nosy neighbors are a concern and can bring LE down upon an incall location but it is not enough for an arrest let alone a conviction. They need to catch you in the act or get you to confess in most jurisdictions as this is a misdemeanor. So the very few minutes you stood there barely added risk. Especially if you know your rights and are capable of STFU.  

I don't feel important when someone is sitting texting on their phone, or making phone calls the whole time - why did you ask me to hang out if you're going to be on your phone the whole time? It's just rude.

Very possible they don't deserve a lot of things, one of which is a long-assed post whining about other people not meeting someone's standards. It just comes across as being a very grumpy old  man. I've got visions of this guy screaming and yelling at the neighborhood kids for cutting across a corner of his yard while going to the play ground or being too loud when playing across the street on Saturday afternoon.

I only had an experience like this once when the provider's cell phone went dead and I couldn't get in touch with her at the hotel. I was about ready to leave when she called me from another cell phone that she later explained was her personal/work cell phone which she never used for making calls in her second line of business. When I got to the hotel I asked her why she didn't just use the hotel phone to call. I could see her brilliant eyes light up and realized it was a thought that never even occurred to her.

Something is going wrong with your selection criteria.  Sounds like your are dealing with high volume bp providers.  You make some valid points about how SOME providers are inconsiderate of your time.  I have run into problems like that too. One time I go the incall and leave and a 1/2 hour later she is calling trying to get me to come back.  Its too late because I am seeing another provider or getting ready to do laps in the pool.

So, what you're saying is, YOU'RE allowed to be a "few minutes late" (because, you "called and let her know ahead of time"!) but if she's not waiting for you AT the door the second you knock, you bolt.  

I wouldn't expect, or tolerate this behavior from a lady who schediels in advance.

I saw one who I have seen multiple times, was always late. Compared notes with other guys in the back channel they had the same problem even 10 years ago. Now she is putting ads on BP. The sessions are still good but she is always late.

Met up with a lady I have seen twice before; walked in her room and walked right out. Was strung out on something and her room was hell

for the client?
