Has anyone cancelled at short notice and how did the WG react?

[Bogof60]

Reading the Almost Caught thread and was about to reply but thought a separate thread would be more appropriate.

I usually book and fook within a few hours 3 to 4 normally. Very rare for me to book the previous day or even more in advance.

1st time
Me and OH both away and in separate cars. When returning home OH says she will visit some relatives then see me at home some time later. Good chance for a punt methinks. Get home fire up the punting phone andbook a Hot Rom. Just out of the pre punt shower and the front door opens and in walks OH who had decided not to visit the relatives after all. Hot Rom who i had seen a few times before was very understanding of the text less than an hour before the start of the action.

2nd time i was driving home and OH was going out before i got  there so booked a Brit again who I had seen before. This time OH car broke down near to home and she needed mine so again punt cancelled with less than an hour to go.
Again WG totally understood.

My point is that with so many time wasters that WG s have to put up with i could quite understand is they had got shitty with me.
Now we all complain  about flakey WG, s and i have certainly negatively reviewed one or two. But i always try to keep my end of the deal, on time, clean and with the right money.

[Silencio]

yeh, I've had to cancel 3 or 4 last minute over the years, because sometimes life happens and gets in the way. Some of the SPs understood (helped that I had seen at least one of them a few times before so they knew I was legit) and some of them cussed me out and never replied to another message again, which is annoying but I understand.

[SamOmar]

I find that independents have reacted well with me having to cancel even if I was a new client. They have mainly been reputable ladies such as Mia in Shoreditch who took it really well.

Agencies / brothels on the other hand.... Last year unfortunately I had a no-show with the regular agency that I use, it was due to medical reasons and I spoke to them on the phone afterwards to apologise. I however got so much abuse from them and they will be blocking my number even though I had over 20 completed bookings with them in the last few months and it was the first time something like this had happened.

I find that parlours / brothels are even worse and they have just hurled abuse at me, I don't hurl abuse a them or their WGs and they shouldn't to the punter as well.

Unprofessional attitudes from people who are just fucked off at losing money.
I’m like you. I don’t give abuse back. I just don’t go back.

[lewisjones23]

I always just tell them that my landlord or a family member has turned up 😉

Naturally they are very understanding, most offer a discount on the next booking actually, as they fall victim to it so often and understand the situation ☺️

They offer you a discount for you cancelling  That's weird !

He's being facetious, that's a popular excuse SPs use to cancel.

I suppose it depends on your punting dynamic. I always book a maximum of 4hrs ahead on day of meet, always. I have my choices of about 3 SPs within a given area. If first choice doesn't answer and second choice does, I'm heading for 2nd choice. If first choice does then answer whilst on route to 2nd choice then I will cancel 2nd choice  with full apologies and a possible return.
I know some girls would find my method unacceptable BUT I never get upset if a SP gets a better offer and 'guzumps' me, which happens more often than me cancelling.
Oh, I also cancel if I'm kept waiting more than 10 minutes (I always keep a SP updated when I'm on my way including eta) when Communication has been bad.

[Bikerman]

I usually book day or 2 before but have had to cancel last minute due to Oh changing plans...i apologise profusely and book when next conveniant..its worse when its someone you been looking to meet for ages

[Lou2019]

as the saying goes shit happens (and life) and often a cancellation is unavoidable. I'm sure I can speak for most of us SPs in saying the fact you had the  courtesy to let us know rather than just not showing up is highly appreciated.

[WelshMichael]

A couple of months back I had to cancel on a regular just as I was parking up at hers. I'd checked my phone when I got there as I'd had a few messages on the way there and one was from a mate who'd just been told he'd had a positive covid test! As I was a close contact I was due a call from test and trace. I explained what had happened and let her make the call as to whether we went ahead or not (we didn't). Being double jabbed and the nature of the contact I had it was 99.9% certain I hadn't contracted it from him as a test proved shortly after but better to be safe than sorry.

[binbag]

My experiences have been very few but mixed nonetheless , whether it's short notice or not. I tend to book many days in advance, weeks sometimes.  I hate having to cancel/postpone but sometimes it happens. Even with many days notice I have had shitty reactions. Others are surprisingly gracious , even if I can only give them a couple of hours warning. If I get a bad reaction with a few days notice I feel the woman is being unreasonable and I probably wouldn't have enjoyed being with her so I'm a bit relieved. If they are gracious and understanding about it , I'm even more eager to rebook. 
My work is also appointment based and there's no question that no shows are a real nuisance (for WGs it's probably worse) but I feel I have to accept it as part of the business. Repeat offenders eventually get the heave-ho but mostly I give them another chance but explain that it causes me problems. Surprisingly , some people don't seem to be aware of the disruption until I explain it to them. After that there's usually no problem. I think the more successful WG's take a similar attitude. Just blanking people doesn't really do much good but a considerate but firm attitude often pays off much better in the long run because of repeat business and/or recommendations to others.

Are you saying you book 3 SPs for the same time 4 hours in advance?

[Lou2019]

Are you saying you book 3 SPs for the same time 4 hours in advance?

It certainly reads that way

[Strawberry]

It certainly reads that way

To me it reads like this;

Contacts option 1 and 2, if 2 responds first he books her. If whilst on the way to 2, 1 responds to say she can offer him a booking he books 1 and cancels 2.

I would guess if 3 responds first he books her, then replaces with 2 and 1 if they subsequently respond.

[RedKettle]

I have always believed that it is important to keep appointments but obviously that is not always possible and so long as people deal properly with that it is fine.  So where WGs have cancelled on me I have tried to be OK about it if given some notice etc etc.

On the other hand I have had a mixed experience when I have had to cancel.  The first time I remember was because very unusually the OH decided we should have sex - it was the morning I had an appointment with a WG and I decided to cancel.  I must admit I made up a reason, cannot remember what but it went OK and I saw the WG many times after that.

More recently it has been a less good reason for cancelling - I have had a few health issues that are recurring and can crop up on the day I am due to punt.  I have had a mixed reaction to cancelling and just take the view that those who rant can forget it.  One or two regulars have suffered several cancellations but seem to understand and we continue to enjoy a professional relationship.

I have massively reduced my punting for a range of issues and in particular I am now reluctant to book in advance because I may need to cancel due to health.  Funny coincidence but I have a punt booked for today which I did actually book several weeks ago so that it fitted into my plans - I was unwell yesterday but an feeling fit and ready today!

[Straightsix]

This is correct.
There are other factors too. ie:If I'm near 2 then 1 responds then I stay with 2. Laboured Communication is a factor too.

This 100% 

[Webby581]

as the saying goes shit happens (and life) and often a cancellation is unavoidable. I'm sure I can speak for most of us SPs in saying the fact you had the  courtesy to let us know rather than just not showing up is highly appreciated.

I wonder if any punters on here would own up to having been a no-show without advising the SP? And if so, why.
I suspect some (non UKP ... obvi) guys do it because they get some sort of malicious pleasure from messing the WGs about
I definitely haven't & wouldnt, Apart from it being  rude and selfish it also costs the SP directly, but it can affect other punters directly too.
Eg: my last punt was a few weeks ago and as it was an opportunistic punt I only made contact about an hour beforehand. I requested a certain time but She said that time was already booked and we arranged that I come an hour later.
I had nowhere else to be once I had finished my (alibi) errands and arrived about 25mins early and parked nearby. At 10mins before the agreed time I dropped a text to say 'I'm here and ready when you are free'.
She immediately text back to say that the earlier guy never showed up or let her know he wasn't coming ....... so I could have been straight in when I first arrived. Or could have had my preferred time an hour before.
 

I have of course had a couple of times when I have had to cancel or amend bookings due to 'life' but both times kept the the SP informed and they were both lovely about it and it didn't adversely affect their attitude when the meeting finally took place.

I have only ever been an occasional punter but have had what feels like a high percentage of postponed or cancelled appointments and at least couple of occasions* when I have arrived at the postcode and never got a reply to my calls/texts at the appointment time asking what was going on.
(* all long before joining UKP).

[daviemac]

Twice I've had to cancel, the first time I cut my hand at work, not a bad cut that would need stiches, but with the blood thinners I was on at the time it could start bleeding again at any time. I informed the escort as soon as it happened, 6 hours before the booking, she didn't even acknowledge my txt. I didn't try to rebook. As it happens I was in Asda later that night and it did start bleeding again, the girl thought a ketchup bottle had burst and they had to shut the checkout to get it cleaned.

The second time was medical again but was all sorted out without problems and I did rebook.

That's a pretty shitty thing to do.

I do my bookings days or weeks in advance. If things come up then I let them know ASAP and rebook.

Sometimes I might have contacted one or two to check on availability. Whoever is available and replies first gets the booking. If the other one replies and was available then I book her in for a different date. It's not on to book 2 or more for the same date and time just in case.

I agree. It not only fuck's things up for the wg's but us punters too. What if everyone did that. 

[Colston36]

That really spreads distrust and makes life hard for the rest of us. Those who are treated that way will then treat us that way.

[lamboman]

I cancelled somebody last week when I had a better option open up.I did let her know I'd never not just turn up,subsequently that week there is a negative review of this SP as there was radio silence when the punter turned up and no subsequent comms.
I'm fairly certain any SP I've seen would let me down should chance arise without batting an eyelid.

[Straightsix]

Not every SP works to a regimented booking system.  For those that don't (and in my case most if not all) they have no issues with being told "I'm not going to make it". Bearing in mind that most of my appointments are 15 minute or 30 minutes if 'come twice' is allowed. Infact,  I'm quite often told 'call me 30 minutes beforehand'

Yes exactly.  It's called a contingency plan. I wouldn't hold it against a SP if she had a better offering and I have been met with silence more than I care to mention. ...and then heading to plan b.

[Straightsix]

They do. Just read the negative reviews....and welcome to the forum.
Next we'll be complaining about inaccurate images and false age....oh...wait 😆

[Straightsix]

I suppose you want honesty and transparency? Do you even read the reviews? Welcome to the world of paying for sex via 100% genuine profiles then guessing if they're going to honour a booking (and services).

I suspect we see different types of escort and do different types of bookings.

I've never really found the idea of a blow and go or P&D appealing. For that kind of experience I could just stay home and have a wank.

We're all different, and we all like it in our own special way. Having a wank cannot be compared to meeting a total stranger, getting her on her knees to watch her suck your cock, then bending her over and fucking the living shit out of her.....and then disappearing never to be seen again, not even held in memory. Oh, and all this after you've handed over a bit of paper.....and that's just me and what I like. I'm not interested in talking bolloxs for 3 hrs, I got more important shit to do. Exorcising sperm is just a bodily function.

[simping]

I cancelled 2 hours prior to the meet, WG reported me to client eye.

How do you know that she reported you. Did she tell you she was going to do it ?

Life gets in the way sometimes.
I've had to cancel due to late demands from work and I've also had SP's cancel on me.
Just one of those things

[Tongue in Cheeks]

I once had a meet booked but something came up with work that I couldn’t get out of. I informed the WG  I couldn’t do that day and asked to rearrange.

She basically refused and tried to tell me she had taken a day off work to see me and she wasn’t happy as she was now losing money.

Fair enough but when I asked if she was free originally she said “That’s perfect as I already have the day off work so no problem”.

She then started telling me how bad she felt and how would I feel in her position. She also said that she would not rearrange as she “won’t give you the chance to do that again”. It was the first time I had done this and I had seen her quite a few times previously.

I apologised a couple of times and said I would book again so she didn’t lose her booking fee. She wasn’t having it. When I questioned her “Already off that day so that fits perfect” comment she then tried to say she had taken the day off just for me. I even offered to pay for the cancellation when I saw her again but she still refused.

I am now no longer able to book her and any e mails I sent were deleted on arrival.

[Drayki]

It costs nothing to send off a simple text or call as soon as you know your unable to meet, it works both ways for clients and sp’s as well, it’s happened to me and never had a problem with rebooking again

You had genuine reasons for cancelling, and have let the escorts known and probably being apologetic about the last minute cancellations.

However, it does seem like you tend to punt with small window opportunity as and when you get it  , always risky and subject to last minute changes.

[anglianfloyd]

Years ago I used to book two or three days in advance , of these bookings I would estimate 1 in four were cancelled by the SP and over 50% of the remainder were the SP kept me waiting when I arrived at the agreed time.
I then started giving two hours notice and found in the majority of cases the booking ran as agreed, on time .
Unfortunately due to me now having long covid for the last 18months I feel my active punting days are behind me but if I do recover I would continue in the same day booking mode

[delete]

The only time I can recall cancelling a punt was when I managed to cut myself shaving a few hours before I had arranged a punt with a WG I was seeing fairly regularly.

The nick was on the edge of my upper lip so I knew kissing and licking pussy would be out of the question so I had to postpone the punt.  The WG was fine about it and I apologised again when I saw her the following week.

[simping]

How do you know that she reported you. Did she tell you she was going to do it ?

Tried booking another wg she mentioned my number was on clienteye and that she would not be going through with the meeting. Searched and installed the app, looked at the date the reported was posted and put two and two together. My only report on there to date.

[Wood2017]

I've had this same situation very recently.

Had my first booking set up for a while and felt increasingly unwell as the day progressed. For the first time that i can remember found myself thinking i had no choice but to cancel. Sheepishly told the girl who i'd never met before a few hours in advance i needed to cancel due to ill health and almost to my suprise she couldn't have been nicer about it. She even thanked me for not just no-showing on her lol.

Her positive reaction has left her firmly on my hotlist for if/when our diaries align in the future.
