What is it with incredibly angry, rude, disrespectful clients lately?
DaintyDarling posted a topic in Creative Endeavors / how to info...
Please excuse any typos. I’m trying to get ready and I let Siri dictate and she doesn’t always get it right: PSA I don’t know what the heck is going on lately, but it seems like over the past year. Clients are angrier and angrier. Some of them act like you went to their home, dragged them from their bed, and forced them to come to see you. I love connecting with people from all different walks of life, I love sharing, great memories and making them, and I love a great connection. What I do not love is people who text in our entitled. There is no need to send me 6 to 10 text messages within five minutes. If you read my bio, it clearly states that this is a side gig for me and that I am a working professional. I have a slew of animals, I am a parent, and I live my life. I work my appointment, I will take short notice when I’m able, but there is never a time that I will just be ready in five minutes. I know every lady is different and some do this full-time so perhaps some clients just expect that. But when it’s clearly written somewhere that that’s not the reality for me it blows me away when they get pissy. I just had the displeasure of dealing with a (phone number removed) who has messaged me in the past and been incredibly rude to the point I stopped answering. Today he starts out seeming nice enough, but I saved my contacts so that I know when it’s someone who was rude to me, didn’t show up, didn’t follow rules, or that I really liked, Connected well with, etc.… So he was already saved as probably won’t see Rude. Being Easter Sunday I decided to hope that he had a better attitude. It started instantly. He went from high. How are you doing to sending about 10 text messages within two minutes. I let him know. I was on the road, dropping off some food to family and then I was answering several clients while safe to do so and that once I was home, I would be able to more consistently respond. Keep in mind there wasn’t one gap of more than 4 to 6 minutes. He lost his mind and told me why don’t I go ahead and take my other “Clints.” I let him know that’s exactly what I would do and that I don’t care to spend my time with somebody that’s like that. If you’re being a nightmare when texting, imagine how it’s gonna go when you get here. He proceeds to send me an address that he thought was mine basically threatening me, then tell me that the cops are on their way. Not how that works. Not the right address. And absolutely pathetic. Now I’m a rather nice lady. My friend tells me all the time why do strangers talk to you in public. Because I smile, I nod, I put grocery cards away, I will park my car and help elderly people and drive them around. That’s the kind of person than I am. I’ve worked in healthcare for a long time. If I see someone injured in distress, I will stop everything and help. But if you take me there… I will drag you down to the depths of hell. I would rather not do that especially on Easter Sunday. So why? Why provoke, why continue to engage, why blatantly disrespect me, and then why think that I’m gonna sit in silence? To me that is incredibly creepy. Why are you attempting to find an address for me when clearly you’re not booking. Why are you threatening me when I check your attitude and tell you that if it’s a problem for you to wait for my response, you don’t have to see me. Why when I then give it to you do you act shocked and make additional threats. What the fuck is really wrong with people? I’m about to stop answering out of state numbers altogether. This past two weeks it’s either been a game, a no-show, or somebody that showed up with a terrible attitude. People don’t want to give deposits that I’m getting really tired of rearranging my schedule, leaving work early, jumping through hoops to accommodate people for them to either not show up or treat me poorly. So why would I not take a deposit? That way it’s not off or not. And then that pushes clients away, who have reasons that they can’t make deposits. But I’m at the point where I’m very clear in my bio. It’s rare that I show my face. People go crazy on me over that. I run my own business. I can refuse service to anyone I want, and I can run it anyway I like. If that means not showing my face for safety reasons then that’s what it means. If I say that I need something from you before I see you how difficult is that? Somebody went crazy on me the other day. They literally started with. I don’t do deposits. I hadn’t even mentioned it. I said that’s fine. I have several other options for screening. I provided him five additional options and he absolutely lost it. CALLING ME every name in the book. Like read the ad. It says I’m gonna want something as I should. You should feel more safe, knowing that I don’t just give out my information and see Any and everybody. I had to put somebody in their place the other day who refused to accept that I don’t offer certain services. It’s unacceptable. So if you are a gentleman, if you respect that, I have things going on outside of this, you want to come and have a nice time and try to connect, and you have no issue with not being mind boggled at the fact that I require certain things in order to walk into my home… Then please reach out and I would love, love, love to see you. If you are going to be rude, if you expect me to be ready right now, if you’re going to get out of character with me if you don’t like the times that I have available, if you want to negotiate my rate, short me, not show up, show up late and expect to be seen, have poor hygiene, or a poor attitude… LEAVE ME AND EVERY OTHER LADY ALONE. THERE IS ENOUGH GOING ON! THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN, SAFE, AND SMOOTH FOR EVERYONE. I WOULDN’T SAY THAT THE BAD IS OUT WEIGHING THE GOOD OTHER THAN INITIAL POINTS OF CONTACT AND BOOKING. MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO SEE ME ARE GENTLEMEN, CHARMING, WHILE PUT TOGETHER, AND HAVE SOME RESPECT. BUT IT MAKES IT REALLY DIFFICULT WHEN IT’S WEEKS ON END OF JUST NO RESPONSES, BAD ATTITUDES, BAD ENERGY, DISRESPECT. IT MAKES YOU WANT TO WALK AWAY. SO I’M REALLY NEEDING MY SWEETHEARTS, SUPPORTERS, AND GENTLEMEN, TO AT LEAST SAY HELLO TODAY. I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A HAPPY EASTER. IF YOU ARE NOT, STAY OFF THE PHONE AND LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. IF YOUR CAT DIED, STAY HOME. CALL OUT OF WORK. IF YOU GOT BROKEN UP WITH WITH HER, YOU DON’T HANDLE REJECTION. WELL, STAY INSIDE. THE REST OF US DON’T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE BAD ATTITUDE. IT’S DRAINING. . -
Hey loves, really quick vent… I don’t really understand why clients do this but it grinds my gears when I see a client and of course me trying to get reviews on here. They’ll book, I’ll provide yet, no review submitted. I’m not sure how to avoid the trickery or games but geeeeezzzz
