Some of you know I've decided to do some touring again. Not to much, just a few visits to cities near by every now and then. I started with a trip to Charlottetown, with my dog, to see how he'd do in a hotel. He did okay, so I went back and he wasn't so good. And both those trips were quite uneventful as far as nuisance callers, or time wasters.So I sought out a boarder for my dog, to try that approach for my next trip. I decided to take a short trip to Moncton, N.B. while he was with the boarder. To see how he and I would do apart. Moncton is close and I hadn't been there for a couple of years, so I booked a two day trip....... and all the time wasters, prank callers and idiots apparently saved themselves for that trip....I had one man call me numerous times while I was in Halifax after I had announced that I'd be going, who insisted on seeing me, Tuesday Oct24 at 5pm. He was polite, so I had a few conversations with him. He seemed to need assurance that I'd be arriving that day. I'm sure he must called more than 6-7 times, prior to me going to Moncton. And then again the day before my trip, lol. Then of course at 5pm on the day he wanted to meet, he disappeared into thin air, apparently, lol. I did send him a text telling him I was awaiting his call....to which he never replied, then I left a voicemail to let him know I had booked another gentlemen. I only heard from him when he called from another number,which was an app number, pretending to be someone else, trying to book another appt....lol. His voice is very distinctive. Can you imagine going to that much trouble....and for what? Poor guy.
On my drive up to Moncton I was surprised by the number of texts, and a few phone calls that I was receiving.It gave me a sense that this trip might be worthwhile. The texts annoyed me, as I can't respond by text while driving, and my ads all request phone calls. Most of these men were asking to book, or promised to book, yet the majority also disappeared into the abyss once I arrived and was ready to host, lol. Perhaps there is a big sink hole in the Moncton area that's swallowed up all those guys, lol.....So my first day there was what I can only describe as a shit show of nuisance callers, time wasters, and rude guys, who had no idea of how to speak to a female. With all my experiences in this industry, it still surprises me when some men speak so crudely. Thankfully there was a couple of nice guys who saved that day.
Wednesday, my second day, turned out to be a much better day, as far as receiving fewer nuisance callers and game players. I met some more lovely gents. A couple of them were generous and tipped, one young man even brought food for me, and a very handsome young regular of mine called, who I hadn't seen in a while. All in all that day left me exhausted and happy. I left early the next morning, without waiting for any other clients. I just wanted to get back home to my dog....Leaving him was hard, and although I know being apart is good for both of us, and that he and my boarder got along better than expected, my next trip will probably include him.....
I"ll never understand the mindset of those people who go out of their way to play such imbecilic games, like calling, just to hang up in my ear, or who pretend to want to meet, or who just make themselves sound and look stupid by making calls and texts with crude, ignorant language..... as so many do lately. I can only hope that they get the help they so obviously need to heal from their troubled minds.
To those interested, my next stop will be Fredericton, sometime in November.....will annouce in a week or two. the dates.....See you soon....
