TER General Board
Not sure I agree with your assessment ...
Me thinks you are a little myopic when it comes to the provider side of no-shows.
Having "job" accountability is a good thing for anyone because it helps keep us all a little bit more honest.
If a provider pulls a "no show" isn't she just as unprofessional as the hobbyist who does the same thing?
If I make an appointment and can't keep it for some reason I am on the phone in a hurry to keep my client or provider from wasting their time. As a professional similar to providers I sell my time.
If I take off to see a provider, I am giving up time that I could have billed a client.I may still be horny if the provider doesn't show but I have also lost valuable time that I could have billed and collected. I have also lost "money".
Rudeness is a part of life. Having accountability and the "concern" that someone will point a providers no-show record is just as valid as the ladies reporting a hobbyist who pulls a no-show.
As a newbie I was wondering if it was bad form to write a review for a provider that made an appointment with you then didnt answer her phone when you arrived. This provider is well reviewed. Is it a tough pill I have to swollow or should I warn everyone that there is a chance you drove an hour for nothing.
At the present the only approved method of reporting NoCall/NoShow flakes is by posting the incident on your regional TER discussion board.
The gals have a private board, there is too much hostility to make it a TER feature...use your private board to deal....we don't show=you get blue balls...you flake = we lose livelyhood....the loss is greater on the supply side...stop whining...its just life

I'm merely data basing while objectively answering these redundant policy questions from hobbyists who have incurred this type of loss.
2 hour round trip = approximately 120 miles
Average time wasted waiting at destination 1/hour
17mpg average vehicle fuel consumption 7.058 gallons of fuel usesd
$3.00/gal average fuel price x 7.05 $21.17
Approx. hobbyist income = $30/h ( x 3) = $90.00
Approximate hobbyist loss incurred = $111.17

Two observations:
1) The provider loses nothing because the reason she no shows is she got a better deal, i.e. a multiple hour appointment.
2) Don't book Miki with an attitude like hers. She'd cancel in a heartbeat.
Geez, I hope # 2 was posted in jest or in the direct light of personal experience.
I had a damn good reason for it. I had 2 guys book and the first called me from the SAME phone # as the 2nd gent I was supposed to see. So it did make me nervous so I decided the best thing to do was NOT see either of them. And of course I am NOT going to answer either call.
Sometimes there IS a reason for it NOT always but sometimes things happen that spook the provider and she will NOT answer the phone or respond to your calls.

and I suspect that you came up with the same reason.... Was there a lot of Donut munching sounds in the background...? lol
yea, I too think LE!
wow, i know it sucks for any dude to flake on the girl, but nice attitude- remind me not waste my time with an appointment with you- i never flake- and i would expect the same in return
guess its all about what kind of mood you are in
...I've heard of someone driving 9 hours in a diaper for love. Now that's committment.
to Orlando--probably closer to 11 or 12 hours.
Not in diapers. Its faster. Try it and you'll see. Simple high school physics.
Speak for yourself. I was a late bloomer.
