I would feel embarrassed about miscounting the bills and would want to be informed.  I would try to get you the bill.

I don't care if they count it in front of me.  We both know what it's all about.

I have no concerns if a gal wants to count out the cash in front of me.  In fact, it gives me some peace of mind that this won't be an issue.

The point is that you deserve your full payment.  Not only that, but the guy could have over paid in which case you should offer to correct that.  It's business ethics* 101.

 
*Yes, I know.  It's an oxymoron.  8o)

That's a good point about peace of mind.  I wonder if they are wondering what's in the envelop.  I think if they took it, counted it, and put it away someplace, it would just eliminate those thoughts.  I want her to be as enthusiastic as possible, and maybe that nagging doubt that there might be Monopoly money inside the envelope distracts her from top performance.

I "shorted"a regular $100 once (a $100 fell under the bed by accident) she called me and asked if i dropped a bill by accident, which was nice since i was embarrassed. The important thing is not to be accusatory. It was probably just an oversight.  

Her solution was to send her a Amazon Gift Card online to her professional account. Give him that option to make things right.

It' just so much easier to drop the donation, spread out, easy to see, in an obvious place like the nightstand and issues like this won't come up.

 
My norm is to take the money out of my pocket and drop it on the nightstand as I am getting undressed just before heading to the bathroom to "freshen up" This gives the lady plenty of time to count the donation, put it away if she wants, or just be secure knowing that it is no longer a potential issue. and then she can join me in the shower if she likes. lol

As for the OP, If it were me I would most definitely want to know if I had shorted a lady, the last thing I want is for her to be looking at me with resentment the next time we meet thinking that perhaps I was so cheap as to intentionally short her a lousy twenty bucks.  IMHO for every dollar short, there should be a voluntary "penalty" of a dollar tip. if you short her fifty, give her a hundred to show "good faith", but that's just me.

Put "Etiquette" instructions on your web site telling guys to leave the envelope (or just cash) on the table and then please go wash up (or shower, if you prefer).  Remind them when the come in the door because many will not have read that part of your site. While they're in the bathroom, count the money and put it away.  If he's short, let him know when he comes out of the bathroom.
Personally, I don't care if you count the money in front of me, but some guys feel it kills the feeling of GFE, so it's best not to.

If it was a mistake, he would want to know. Lots o' 20s in the typical envelope so a mistake is understandable. If it was not a mistake and you say nothing, next time it might be $40 short.

If you have a website, in the etiquette section ask guys to excuse themselves to the facilities to shower or freshen up after arriving and placing the envelope. This is your chance to check it and put it somewhere safe so you can put the issue out of mind and focus on a great session, a win for both of you.

Most of the girls I've met with don't count the cash. I think the reason is when it comes to a first date, that counting the money might be perceived as accepting cash for sex and therefore incriminates the provider, so they don't do it. On repeat dates they don't do it because there's a level a trust that's been established and the provider is trusting that a repeat client wouldn't stiff her on the cash. Hence, the money rarely gets counted. In addition, letting the guy know he's short during the date makes things super awkward, especially if he doesn't have the available funds on him. Completely kills the momentum, especially with guys that didn't intentionally mean to short the girl.

Personally I don't like it when the girl counts the cash in front of me. Kinda hurts the mood. Yeah, I know it's ultimately a transaction, but I don't need to be reminded of that with someone carefully counting every 20 dollar bill just in case. I'd be fine with it if they did that while I was showering, but I've notice providers don't count it then either.  

But yeah, totally text the guy and let him know he didn't pay in full. I mean, you gotta get what you earned, even if it was a mistake on his part it's not fair to you and to me it seems like the only viable options are to either talk to him about the shortage and hope he agrees to pay you the $20 the next time he sees you, or ban him from your service. I would want to know, cause I believe in paying my debts in full. If I owe anyone anything, I want to pay it off, period. If he doesn't like it, you can just not see him ever again.

I'd tell her to **** off if she pulled that on me. It's one thing to pay your debts, it's another thing entirely to be treated like garbage over an accident. You want your $20? No prob, mea culpa. You want $40 now? Well, let me pay you your $20, and then not ever see you again.

Of course you should let him know about this. Its your money and this could be an oversight. As you indicated, chances are slim that a $20 short is intentional. If I did that then I wouldn't have a problem getting a message about it. And I like the manner in which you have gone about posting about this. That is really nice.  

 
I think this is rookie mistake. Some of the first rules that I learned from the beginning were - drop donation, excuse to the wash room - which allows providers to take care of the donation - count and/or put it away.

 
So to avoid this, nudge clients to use washroom if nothing else than to wash their hands. That would give you enough time to count donation (and avoid having to do this in front of clients).

 
None of the providers I've visited counted in front of me because I do take a couple of extra minutes in the washroom just for this purpose. Might not bother me but might feel weird if she does that but that's just me. Only once did a provider, while I was getting ready to leave (and after we've taken a shower together) asked for donation which surprised me because I know I'd dropped the donation. We started looking at where I'd dropped the donation. The room was quite large and had tables at each end of the wall and I'd dropped at the far end table. But she did find the envelope and everything was fine. The amount was higher than her rate because i didn't have the time to get exact change and she didn't have a round figure as her rate but that is another matter.  :-)

I said there should be a "voluntary" penalty, IOW for those of you have can't understand English, she shouldn't have to demand it, you should have the decency to offer it was your fuck up to begin with.  

BTW this doesn't just apply to the hooker world,I would do the same thing (and yes this has happened) If I accidentally walked out on a bar tab. To tell the truth while this has never happened to me with a hooker, I have gotten drunk and walked out on many a bar tab, the thing is people are willing to forgive you very quickly when you give them a 100% tip. lol

 
The long and the short of it is "fuckups happen" you shouldn't necessarily be judged on the fuckups you make so much as the way you deal with them after they happen.  Have you ever ordered a pizza and it was late, or cold, or the wrong one, so you call up the store ready to chew someone out and they immediately start apologizing profusely, tell you that they are putting a new pizza in the oven for you RIGHT NOW and that of course they are going to credit your money back and the your meal is on the house. How are you going to still be mad at them after they do everything in their power to make things right? When I fuck up, I try to make a sincere effort to make things right, but that's just me. Maybe you are just a cheap ass? (but more likely maybe you just have a hard time with the English language. lol)

I admittedly drink a LOT sometimes,  and especially in places that have multiple bars in the same establishment, the Del Rey is one that comes to mind, I often will clear one bar tab and forget the other, when most customers do that the bartenders get pissed, but they are happy when I do it because they know they have a big tip coming. lol

............ Shit! I walked out without even dropping the donation because I was so freaking horny and excited, I just forgot. Thankfully, that was with a regular. She was very nervous, but brought it up as i was about to walk out the door. I was so embarrassed.

I'm with Gag about not using an envelope, I see a wonderful woman who was  scammed last year with fake bills in the envelope. She now requires the cash is dropped in the open. And I go for a quick rinse off. To tell you the truth, once I drop the cash, I don't take any notice about what happens to it.  

It's nice that all of you have given the monger the benefit of the doubt, but there are plenty of arseholes in this world that would feel great about themselves for getting over on someone, even for $20.  

Hehehe, at least the two times I miscounted, I was out by $100. One was a short and she called me while I was driving away.I made a quick U-turn and made it right plus a tip.
The other miscount was an over by $100. I  received a text in that situation as I was driving away. I was so impressed and thankful, I let it go. At the second appointment, I didn't mention anything and as time was getting close to be over she asked me if I could stay an extra 30 minutes. Fuck yes!!!!!  

There is no wrong time to NOT be a cheap bastard.

On one of my very first dates I walked out with the donation still in my pocket. I am really absent-minded and easily distracted by initiating the encounter so this is something I still have to really focus on so I don't fuck up, and I have managed never to do it again. When it happened I was already out of the hotel when I realized it, and she only turned her phone on right before sessions, so I had no idea what to do. I finally decided that since she was from out of town I had no option but to go knock, though I was really worried she might be in the middle of another session. Here was the weird thing - she gave every indication she had not even noticed the missing envelope. Maybe she was as absentminded as I was.

To be honest, when someone is paying $300 or more, I find difficult to believe that it is intentional rather than an oversight. Sure, like you say, there are cheapskates around but I hope they are in a very very small minority.  

That is at least the reason I gave in favor of the monger. However, if later on it is found that it was intentional then yeah will not have a problem charging him as such. But to charge the monger as such from the beginning seems harsh, at least to me.

Certainly tell him without being accusatory! I prefer a new girl to get the accounting out of the way before the session or at least before I leave. I usually don’t leave the cash until after a session with a regular. One time after a mind nummingly good session I totally forgot to leave the donation! I got a text after I was driving away! I turned around and went back to deliver it, plus a little extra!  Boy did I feel stupid about that one.

If it was off by only $20 I'd say it was probably an honest mistake. If that happened to me YES, I'd want to know so I could make it right.  

I always worry about an accidental shortage and am apt to count everything ten times before showing up at the incall.

!. I prefer she counts the donation in front of me. That way I know there is no mistakes. I made one once when I forgot to drop the envelope, walked to the car, reached for my keys and felt it. I immediately fixed my error by contacting her and running it up to her before she noticed and tipped her for the inconvenience,  but it was embarrassing.  

 
Note while I prefer she counts it in front of me, I pay as directed by her site. Some ladies for whatever reason feels uncomfortable handling money in front of their clients. The last thing I want is to make her uncomfortable.

 
2.  I would wish to know so I correct it. And yes I would correct it. To do otherwise is a form of theft of service, and I have no desire to be a thief. Errors happen but simple honest communication fixes them.  

 
One time as I was driving off I got a call from a provider who said she couldn't find the donation I dropped. I parked and went back to her hotel room and showed her where it was. (It was on the sink in an envelope exactly where and how her web site instructed me to leave it.) We both had a laugh and everyone left happy.  

 
This is business. I know of no business that wouldn't inform a client if they were shorted. Why is this even a question?

Time to read the other responses.

Funny, because on one hand I’d feel weird having it pointed out, but by the same token I tend to recount my donation numerous times for the exact reason that I don’t want that to happen. At the end of the day, like any other spend I make where an agreed upon amount is set, someone would be perfectly within their rights to say they were shorted without me getting pissy about it.

Both my regulars get a studio card and a scratch off lotto ticket. A-girl always opens the envelope and secures the dough in her purse  and thanks me for the scratch-off and  nice/funny card. Tells me she saves all of them which is a nice fluff compliment. First time with her I def didn`t like it but got over it quick  as our connection is off the charts good.

B-girl NEVER touches the envelope but has won $$ several times $50, $30 etc. and texts me kisses later to inform me of that. Love dragging these two ladies to the depths of gambling depravity.  Told them that if they hit big to split it with me. Their reply:  "Sure honey, you got it"  LMAO

Always Always ALWAYS count your money beforehand. I do it in private. If they're visiting me, I have a table that they will leave it on. I walk them to the bathroom and start a shower for them. While they are getting fresh I step away to make sure things are in order. I only once had to ask someone to kindly recount due to him miscounting. It happens just laugh it off and let him fix it while you go wash your hands or grab you both a water.  

If you're on an outcall, I ask for them to leave it in the bathroom so that when I arrive I may freshen up and take care of it right away. Or if you meet in public first, I ask for them to put it in a card or a book they'd like me to read, Then I go to the restroom to wash my hand for dinner and make sure things are in order.  

I know this doesn't help you with the current situation but hopefully, it will in the future! (:

Hi Smartie,

1. I've only seen an escort acknowledge my envelope once. Second appointment with a woman, somewhere I dropped my condoms. When I got to her hotel room, I said "I dropped my condoms somewhere, good think I didn't drop this!" and pulled out the envelope and left it on the night stand. I saw her peak into it (I made sure I didn't drop any bills beforehand). I was ok with it then, I'd be ok with it now.

2. I'd want to know. I'd want to get something around $20 on your wishlist to make up the difference.

I accidentally shorted a dear lady (whom I subsequently saw many more times) by $50. It was an honest mistake, because...I was given good advice early on (thanks, Julia!) that a good way to do the donation was a mix of large bills with some smaller "spendable" ones. That seemed like sound advice to me and I often do it that way. But, dumb shit that I am, I got the math wrong and miscounted. Duh.

Luckily, I was able to correct this because another escort I was seeing was friends with her, and when I saw her a few days later she gave it to the lady I shorted. And, I gave her $100, not $50, because I was so annoyed with myself and wanted her to be -sure- it was an honest mistake. And...this went over well with BOTH ladies, to our mutual future benefit :).

I hope this one is a mistake and turns out that well for you.

provider's incall. Then I go to the restroom to freshen up, take a shower, wash my hands, etc. Sometimes the envelope is "gone" [meaning counted and put away] when I re-enter the room. Also, I usually use C notes and 50's and rarely use any $20's.

Once when seeing a lady I had seen twice previously I had forgotten the envelope. She trusted me to retrieve it after the session which I did with about an hour due to distance from my location to her incall.  We are still seeing each other going on 6 years.

I saw a lovely lady about 8 or 9 months ago.  I wasn't sure how much I would owe her. I put what I thought was the right amount in an envelope.  I enjoyed her company.  I asked he what I owed and realized the envelope --which I thought I had already left-- was short about a hundred dollars.  I counted out the $100 in twenty and got ready to leave.  She counted what I left and said, quite annoyed, "Hey this is short, its only $100.  I then realized i had not previously given her the envelope with the 5 or 6 hundred in it.  God I was humiliated and pulled it out and gave it to her with my apologies.  The one think I could not stand would be not to have paid in full no fuss no muss what was due.  Imagine if I had already walked out.  
You should tell him. I could not bear, were I he, to have shorted you (which to me is the ultimate FU for a provider).  I would want to know and be able to make it good right away.
I must admit, I am still embarrassed about that lady wondering if she thinks I had tried to get away with something.

"Can't Remember Shit"

 
The first move after the initial greeting hug and kiss should be to reach for the envelope and place it discreetly wherever her instructions say to place it, or some obvious location like on top of her laptop.

Some guys react very negatively to this.  I think it depends on the nature of the encounter and what is expected.  One lady I see frequently prides herself on providing the "true gfe experience".  She treats me like we've known each other forever and barely even glances at the envelope until after I have left.  Another provider I've been with a few times offers no such illusions.  She always counts the money immediately upon my arrival; then she puts it away and fucks me like an animal.   I take no issue with either approach as long as the service is quality.

but if he's from out of town, if might be best to forget it.  I generally don't leave the donation in advance unless so requested (or first dates).  
this is kind of "old school" but I leave my pocket junk on her dresser next to my clothes.  The donation is precounted & kept together with a paper clip & IS on the dresser.  When I redress, the donation is left behind.  
Sometimes in the hub-bub of redressing & using the bathroom the donation will disappear, other times not... I don't watch it but I might notice.  
Once, early in the hobby, I was embarrassed when a gal asked me for it & I hadn't placed it... largely because her layot was different that I expected... would have needed to place in the bathroom.  
Many gals pick up the donation early (as requested) and count it before putting it away... but do check it before he gets his good bye kiss.

As I had one a few years ago.  Went to see an amazing woman at a well known K-Agency and forgot that I was short $40 after the fun and making the payment, which I always do with this one.  The girl called Mamasan and I told her I would go to ATM and get her the rest.  After 20 minutes I came back with that and more to show my apologies.  Now anytime I reach out to Mamasan, she is quick to book me and move me to the front of the line.  We are all human and make mistakes, however honesty and a little extra sugar goes a long way on a mess up.

and yes, I would find it a bit offputting if a woman I had seen a dozen times before was still counting out the money before the session starts after having seen her so many times.  

 
As for women I am seeing for the first time, when in the US at least I always leave the donation somewhere in plain sight usually while in the process of disrobing. When I am in other countries the "norm" is to pay AFTER the session. Hey, "when in Rome" right?

...I have always left the providers donation in a very nice card & I can't remember ever having them count it, but after reading some of the posts on this thread maybe I should forgo the card & just leave the cash in plain site. It is unlikely that I would ever make a counting error I always use the largest denomination bills adding up to the total & if I shorted the donation I would be so embarrassed by that oversight that she would certainly deserve a good tip for telling me.

A "nice" way of letting him know would be to send him a message that say something like

 
 "Dear john, I don't know if this is what you meant to do, but you left me $xxx, was that the amount you intended to leave me?"

 
My bet is, if he has an ounce of class he will find a way to make it up to you, and if he doesn't you are only out a lousy twenty bucks and you got to find out what kind of guy he is.

Idk, with where my rates stand based on where ive been, it shows a bit of... Ehh. Whats the word? Blah.  

I think it makes you look like a charity for lack of better words

Im not saying i would accept ANYTHING. But being 20$ short of a 400$ tab sure as hell wont kill me or break my pockets.  

We'll both know u did it, i count while in the room 8/10 in front of the client. Ive had a few even ASK me to do it in front of them.

And ive only been shorted once, by $10. Clearly, the fact that i recieved deposit and he got me dinner came into mind and i didn't complain, care, and saw him twice more before he returned home.  

I also dont consider it shorting if you let me know, thats negotiating. Lol. If im already on my way i wont mind much.  

Im lenient. And highly considerate and understanding. Oh, and taking the slightly lower amount of 10, 20 $ isnt as bad as losing the date entirely.

She's not pretentious.  

There are two ways to look at it.  Either "hooker" is derogatory as something to be ashamed of, or we can say sex work is not something to be ashamed of, so lets use fun words to describe it.

I generally avoid using hooker or even prostitute on these forums because I don't go out of my way to offend.  But they are perfectly clear identifiers of certain professions.   I'm all for clarity -- and also for variety in speech.   Otherwise the whole discussion gets too clinical.

I think it makes a big difference if the total was 200 or 2000. Shorted by 10% vs shorted by 1% might make a difference whether it is even worth mentioning.  

This is also a good reason to use large bills. When the lady does count it, whether glancing in an envelope or looking at it laid out GaGa style, --say her rate is 500-- it's a lot easier to quickly see that 5 bills are there, than 25.

Red envelopes are for the Chinese New Year. Uncle always gives them to the kids.

You are correct.  It depends on who the person is.  If it is a regular, you know that it was a mistake.  You could bring it up in a lighthearted way afterwards at another time.    
If it is someone who you are seeing the first time then you should say something afterwards but in a light hearted way.  If he is a decent person he will definitely ask how to make it right.

I believe he made an honest mistake if they were all in that domination.   Not everybody is OCD like me and counts 3x before making out deposit slip and counts again when depositing.  I'm also a very fast counter, a skill I learned and retained from 2 years of bank teller in my early career.  And I count donation very fast right in front of client at end of session.  Maddie

I say thank you very much for your generosity!  My tip would be obvious with 3 bills and a $20

You should ask, and for such a small sum ask in a nice way, "Hey, that was a great session, enjoyed my time with you. It seems the donation was short by $20, did a bill happen to get stuck in your pocket when you took out the donation, could you check real quickly for me?".

I think next time you should ask for it, as I think most guys would want to make it right. If he shorted you on purpose, you'll get a negative response, but doesn't hurt to ask. The worst he can say is no or make a snide comment. If that happens, a good screening tool for next time, you don't see that client.

Also, plan on how you're going to get that $20 if he comes back to pay. Slid under the door, left at the front desk (highly recommend you DON"T do this), give a window of time to come back to the room (hard if you have back-to-back appointments and as a client I don't want to hear anybody outside my door while in a session, let alone hearing an envelope being slid under the door).

I've made the mistake a few times. Once was I took out a large sum of cash from the ATM, divided it into two pockets - and yes, you got it right, pulled out the donation from the wrong pocket and shorted her a good chunk of change.  And yes, I made it right with an added tip.

I would never intentionally short a provider. I would want to know so I could return to pay the agreed upon amount.  However, if the guy was traveling and is no longer in your area I’d chalk it up to him making a mistake and move on.

The only Chinese man I know in real life is Hershal Rubinowitz.  I asked him how he got that name.  He said when he came to America the man in line in front of him at the immigration desk was named Hershal Rubinowitz.  When my friend's turn came, the immigration official asked him his name.  He said "Sam Ting."

I did the same thing once. Got to the street and realized the envelope was still in my jacket pocket. I went back upstairs and slid it under the door. She poked her head out the door and I profusely apologized. No harm, no foul she said.  

Mistakes happen. It’s generally a case of Hanlon’s Razor.

A big fear of mine is that I'd screw up the donation and have to drive back to make it right.  And I would.  We had a deal, she did her part, she's entitled to it.  
Once I did a major bone head move...  ditched my coat on the car on a warm day.  Yeah, the donation was in the pocket.  I was so embarassed.  I offered to get it or give her my keys so she could.  We'd seen each other many times over several years & she declined... said she was leaving after our time.  We walked out together.  At my car, I put my coat back on, we clasped hands and kissed lightly before parting...  the donation was in her palm.

I had this happen about 2 months ago with a very regular client whom I saw every 2 to 4 weeks. When I would leave he would either hand me the cash or stuff it in my purse. Whatever. No issues. Last time I saw him he stuffed the cash in my purse. I never counted, trusted him. I get home and I am $20 short. OK. Empty out my entire purse thinking it is tucked somewhere. I shoot him an email.... hey....I think you may have missed $20 when you paid me (giving him the $ amount that I received)? His response: "No, that is what I always paid you." Um, no.
 He has been emailing me off and on asking "what's up?" or "how are you?" My response has been...." you know, just living the dream. Trying to figure out how to get back that $20."
 Moral of the story? You want that punanah on a regular basis or that $20?  

xoxo

is if he knows he shorted you twenty bucks and he reads this thread he will already know your alias. OTOH if it were by accident he won't have any idea you are talking about him.

 
Let's hope he both doesn't read this thread and didn't short you on purpose otherwise your alias is blown with him anyhow.

But yes, tell him. Guess he was not a tipper eh?  

He needs to know.$20 Is not going to make or break you, but he should know and it is proper hobby business ettiquet. Give him a chance to apologize and make it up.

Going from already knowing the person "in the flesh" to uncovering some obscure aliased political comments has to be anti-climactic.  The usual concern is the opposite -- going from the alias to the real person.  People who try to discover the real identity either already love or hate you.  Both can be problems if extreme or fixated.

Smartie is unabashedly a Pro Trump Rightie, which doesn't play well with a LOT of so-called "open minded" liberals who wouldn't see her on a bet if she were to reveal that she voted for Satan. The last thing Smartie wants is for so idiotic Never Trumper to find out her real hooker name and spread it around to a bunch of libtards who would go out of their way to ruin her business.

 
I would think a righty like you who also posts under an alias could appreciate her situation, but I guess I was wrong for giving you that much credit.

Meh. I’d never see a vocal Trump supporter. If you want to support the guy, be my guest and I’d still probably see you. But if you are getting on a hobby board to broadcast your preferences then it broadcasts to me that maybe you can’t keep that to yourself when we should be focusing on other stuff. Hard Pass.

Could have been a miscount,or maybe he was short on cash  and didn't tell you in fear of loosing the date or settle for less time.. However some people are scammers too while some are just plain cheap.So let him know and see the reaction.

There is always a good  tip in my envelope (even if we are meeting for the first time) so I never had that problem.Actually I prefer you count the money first.

Communication is the key. It could have easily been a mistake. You never know if the individual was in a rush and it was an honest mistake. It's important that both you and your company both mutually feel you had a fair and enjoyable engagement.

If the provider does not count it I usually ask them to.  Anybody can make a mistake.

... and I have gotten to like you and would see you if we were in the same city. Just for what it's worth. What better way to build bridges, right?

I'm late to the conversation, but I'd say what several others have said: it was almost certainly an honest mistake, you can avoid the awkwardness of counting in front of your client by having him put the donation down and go into the bathroom, I would want to know if I ever did that so I could make it right. I tend to be pretty OCD about counting it out beforehand, just to avoid that situation.

only pay in Benjamins and always round up to the next one, no one EVER gets shorted $20.  Guys make mistakes when trying to count money after the blood has left their brain and gone to their dick.

Plus, three or four Benjis spread out on the nightstand doesn't require "counting" It's easy to tell the donation is there and is the correct amount even from halfway across the room. Normally speaking, if the donation is anywhere from $250-$300 I just lay three one hundred dollar bills down. It's just so much easier to do it that way.  

 
Of course when using "ATM money" I can't always do it this way, but I try to grab enough cash each time I go to the bank to keep from having to hit the ATM too often.

This is why people shouldn't talk about politics during work. My job? I don't talk about politics to the people I provide my (non-sex related) services to. Uber drivers? They shouldn't talk about politics. Whores? They DEFINITELY shouldn't talk about politics.  

Just suck that dick and we can talk about the weather and maybe comic book movies afterwards or whatever.  

I myself always try to gauge someone's political leanings before engaging in political discussion. If they aren't like minded, I try to steer the convo to something much less emotionally charged.

What I really want to know is if you'll see the guy again if he's ever in town and requests a repeat? Will you resent him knowing he got away with shorting you $20, or will you simply count the money while he's in the bathroom or something? That's my fear, that I might accidentally short a provider and then she bans me from her service without giving me a chance to make things right.

A lady once called me back as I was on the way out of the hotel and told me to come back to her room but didn't say why. My first thought was that I must have accidentally shorted her. In fact, she wanted to give me some money back because I had left a half an hour early. Is that incredible or what?

I wonder how many times you could find you and me saying almost the exact same thing just a minute or two apart, much less nine days later?  

 
It's been a lot less common for CDL and I to agree on this board, and I want him to stick around and knock me further down the list of the top ten TER blabbermouths. If we could just get him and Mick to start talking to each other, I'd be down to number four on the list in no time. lol

She texted me after our date and I gladly brought another $20 bill to her.  As I recall this happened as a result of a misunderstanding about how she calculated her 90 minute rate (which was not explicitly stated on her website).   Moral of the story:  Never assume, ASK.
