The other day I was thinking back on my years in this hobby and all the appointments that never occurred because the provider didn't show up.  Often (but not always) I got a text or email after the fact attempting to explain why the provider didn't make the appointment.  Some of those reasons included in no particular order or frequency: overslept, totally forgot the appointment, got sick, lost phone, phone lost battery power, phone didn't work, menstruation started, previous client went over the appointment time, got kicked out of the hotel, family emergency, delayed arrival due to plane/weather, no room at the hotel, death of mother (twice from the same provider 6 months apart!), ran out of condoms, decided to quit being a provider, stuck in bathroom (door was locked and wouldn't open), and got sick of sex.  There are others, but I think this was a good sampling.  In some instances, I know the excuse was actually true.  In many cases I had no way of knowing if she was telling the truth or not.  And in a few cases I knew it wasn't the truth.

A few months later another guy was showing me pictures of his family, and guess who one of the kids was?

why don't you just tell us

I have way too many stories from providers. The biggest excuse was that someone died, "my uncle", "my mother's cousin's aunt in law", grandmother.

I have to babysit my grandaughter because my daughter is going out with some friends.  

It was about 90 minutes before the session, an incall. I was showering, shaving etc, and I realized that my bikini wax was starting to feel a bit like stubble. I figured I'd shave to smooth things up, and I freaking cut myself! It really stung, so I dropped the razor and as I'm getting out of the shower, I nick my toe on the razor. So I get two bandages, and I text my client to tell him that my dog isn't feeling well and I'd have to cancel. He was pretty understanding and we rescheduled for just a couple of days later.

tell me his family had been swept downstream in a raging flood.  Seriously, if that honestly happened, I would be distraught and care less about the appointment.  When I told him, I was sorry for his loss, but still owed the cancellation fee!  Lo and behold, he kept the appointment, "before his flight home!  I was embarrassed for him. lol!  

He told me he had to cancel because he had to undergo surgery to repair a retinal detachment. It sounded serious. Got me wondering how that would happen.

it happened at recess at school.. at 9:30am.  

and with all the places I have tried I have not once gotten food poisoning. Yet amazingly so many of my appointments get cancelled due to food poisoning. Where in the world are these guys eating that is making them so sick? The guys usually get all flustered when I ask them which restaurant made them sick because I want to make sure never to go there.

i had food poisoning one time last year. i had a sandwich from the cooler section of a 7-11.

bogus. Heard this 6 times from 6 different men of the hobby. Enough for me to retire

How terrible for you.  

I was hoping to hear the story.  I've been out of the country for a while and missed reading your posts.

The good ole food poisoning excuse god...that excuse is so tired.lol
Funny how the guys who say this always have to cancel they are so sick they cannot see anyone during their vegas stay.Well....how come there is new reviews posted during his vegas stay but yet he had food poisoning the very first day of visiting?Yep...I eat out all the time here never had extreme food poisoning.

Your dog or your kitty?

An hour before a date, my ATF texts me to ask if she can call me. Sure, I reply. She calls me and in a sleepy, hung over voice explains she was out too late celebrating a happy event and doesn't think she can get ready to see me.  

...who got food poisoning so bad, I had to take him to the hospital.

A provider cancelled an hour prior and told me her mother showed up at the airport for a surprise visit.   Now, let's get real here.  Whose mother just hops on a plane and is suddenely waiting at the curb for a pickup without prior notice?      Jeeeeeesh!!

Grand Lux is owned by the Cheesecake Factory but a different menu.
Sorry to hear your friend got sick.I have never had a problem there.

did you say to him, "I'm not your wife.. you dont have to lie to me. are you sure youre not hungover?"
xx

...she texted me to tell me that she had fruit flies coming out of her bathroom sink and she couldn't get control of them...we never did meet, needless to say...

So I waited an hour and a half for her to get ready.  Ok, guess I'm pussy whipped.
It was so worth the wait.

she had call forwarding to her personal phone...  she was 1000 miles away...  Yes, her sister really died.   (Sister had last chemo for breast cancer...  "beat it"...  and just inexplicably died.  Toxic stit!  I am familiar with one kind of chemo which has a lifetime max because of heart damage.  Sister was not a provider.  Left husband & 2 children.)    
I reconnected with the provider a couple of months later & she was practically in a trance.  I noted the prayer cards on her mantle...  listened to her for an hour before we tried to play.  She really tried but her heart wasn't in it.
