Sully,I see your problem. When I first read your post my thought was that you simply use the profile portion to describe the lack of promptness etc etc, & elaborate on it (in detail) in the essay protion leaving the "numeric" ratings as you might otherwise have posted them. I've never had a similar situation so believe me, I'm not sure my initial thought is the best way to handle it.But I'm curious about a couple of things you post didn't mention & perhaps they are worthy of considering with respect to a review..perhaps not. Why was she so unprepared for the appointment? An hour is a very long time to be kept waiting...did she make you aware from the get-go that it would be that long? Or did she hint that it would only be a few minutes & keep stringing you along that way? Did the reason she gave you for the delay seem reasonable & do you buy it?Not meaning to judge your actions, but it was you who ultimately made the decision to proceed & thus part of your anger is probably directed at yourself as well as her.
Gentlemen-So you carve out time for a massage. You live/work on the westside (LA) but you have a lunch in the valley (30 min drive w/ no traffic for all you flyover minions). you figger that you leave your lunch, get the massage- have plenty of time to pick up your kids by 6PM. You just have to leave the valley location by 5PM (it become an hour + in rush hour). So you get there and she's not ready.... now I always bring gifts, so I know there will be some delay... but we did not start for almost a whole hour!... now the massage is outstanding, but really long- and explosive... but I discover that not only have I amazingly come up to my deadline, but that we have surpassed it!This has incredible repurcussions, as questions will be asked as to why I am late to pick up my kids. It basically imperils my whole hobbying issue!My question is... how does that rate? I mean, i had a great experience on the table- but I was cursing the day she was born by the time I faced an angry Daycare provider (they are not like the kind of provider I like-clothed for one thing). And the fact that her un-togetherness could negatively impact such careful work I did to make sure there would be no stress....Fellas? Many of you know me from my posts, some think I am a dick, some probably not, but I need your help, so I can effectively help you.... how do I rate it as my review will have to be more blind to the particulars of my session to preserve anonymity???

GW-Oh, I was pissed at myself, plenty too. Big part of the problem. But as you say, I had set aside so much time, that any normal delays would be fine-and yet it still went over. And I made my need to depart by a certain time well known, thinking it would never come up....At this point, the fact that the massage itself went over 90 mins is a two edged sword- yes I loved the extra attention to both Mr. happy and my aching back, no- I don't need to endanger my whole life for 15 minutes extra fondling- so you see my dilemma- good points got turned to bad
My suggestion is to use the "On Time" field in the review to say "No". Then warn people again by mentioning it in the review. I don't think you should take it out on the rating. If you had a great, explosive, wonderful time, I think the rating should reflect that. But, if you are still pissed off at her, I guess you have the right to take it out on her rating. Was she remorseful? It sounds like she made it up to you with extra time. Sorry to hear how stressful it was. The obvious lesson is - leave a lot of extra time. Also, monitor your session and if you have to leave, you have to leave. Ultimately you are responsible for your own commitments.
Take it out of the services rating. Being on time is important enough to warrant its own field in the reviews! In the non-juicy details, tell that the experience was better than the rating, except for the major delay. Frankly, I run my schedule tight, and that's valuable info...just as being on time is a valuable service from a provider.Temp
