So we all know we can be late for a variety of reasons from time-to-time.....got caught up at work, Metro trains running late, traffic, kids, family issues, et. al. Most of us however are not ALWAYS late and using the same lame excuse every time.

Arrive an hour later, and you will only have to wait 5 or 10 minutes.  

If you try a restaurant a few times here in DC and the food is good, but the service is habitually bad; do you keep going back to that restaurant?

I saw that lady.....or am pretty sure we are talking about the same lady.

n fact, I'm habitually early! Anyone who has seen me, and has arrived up to 30 mins early can attest to this. I have never made someone wait for me.  

And I can attest to your punctuality having been a very satisfied client for a very long time.

Thank you. I understand getting caught in traffic once in a while, but I've experienced many situations of ladies not being ready at incall, or showing up late to outcall, and quite frankly it's a mood killer.

 Honestly, I find being late for an obligation to be the rudest thing you can do to someone. (it's up there with some nasty cell phone habits people have these days). Inside the hobby and out.  Time is a valuable asset you just can't get back. Nobody can, unfortunately.  
   
 In the past year of so, I've given up 3 doubles partners because of tardiness, no shows, etc. I just can't handle the unprofessional habits of some people. And because of that, I haven't done a doubles in over a year.  
   
 The reality is, if an employee is habitually late at a "real job"....I can assure you, they won't be employed long.  
   
 Honestly, if a gent was habitually late to come see me, I wouldn't allow him another opportunity. But, that's just me

Per your PM, we are speaking of the same lady

I to have faced this a lot with different ladies. It's as if our time is not important.

I know it's difficult if the lady is a turn on, but habitual lateness is nothing less than insulting.  It's your dime and your time, but I'd move on and never look back.

Obviously OUR time isn't......have any of the late ones ever offered you a reduced rate for YOUR time wasted.  

to me the significance of the lateness is a huge issue.  again i'm not saying i'm perfect and yes i have been late to meetings and appointments on occasion but never 45-60 min on a consistent basis.  to me there are plenty of wonderful ladies out there willing to give you a great experience at the time and date you both agree to.

Some things bug you and are deal breakers, some things don't.  In my case, I leave the hotel/area if the provider is more than 15 minutes late. I hate waiting. It makes me feel jerked around and unappreciated.   But that is just me.  For other people, it may not be a big deal

In Europe something like this would be the end of her career and reputation.

Okay ... I understand that it can be very frustrating when someone is late. I do my very best to be a punctual person. So much so that when I am running late I have a mini panic attack about it. I have noticed, especially in this industry, that almost everyone is late, usually not much but sometimes.  

You are so right!! This would never be tolerated in London. They would laugh at you if you told them you were going to be 45 minutes late, they may even flog you for even trying to show up that late. That is of course a joke but they certainly would have another lady there just as hot if not hotter than the lady that was running 45 minutes late.

I did bring the issue up with her on my last visit and she held to her excuses, not even really apologizing.

Although her reputation and business probably will suffer based on the number of messages I've received about her.  

I would love to see some new ladies and will gladly pay you 3 cents for your favorites list....LOL!!

your choice of companionship,  It obviously bothers you enough to write this lengthy post, so why continue to buy frustration?

Based on the length of your post I would guess at this point she isn't.  I have a regular in San Diego that I see everytime I'm out there.  She only offers outcall and is never less than 2.5 hrs late.  I just plan for it and expect it at this point, I'd prefer she be on time but she's soooo worth the wait every time.
