This guy who tried to book me earlier this year tried to come back and book me after I blocked his phone number. The first time, he tried to book last minute. Despite my giving him the general area I was in, he failed to look up his transit time. When I give him the exact address, he looks up the distance and tells me he can’t make it in time. Why did you not look up the distance to the city in the first place, dingbat???
Anyway, I excuse it and try to get an idea of what kind of service he’s looking for. I ask if he’s had a deep tissue massage with CBD oil before, trying to get a sense if he knows the effect the CBD oil has on the muscles. He answers, “I’ve been to the spas at the St. Regis before.” 👀 What the FUCK!?!?!??? What does that have to do with ANYTHING!!!??? I don’t know if he’s dumb or just trying to flex but, I get annoyed and just block him. Why the hell couldn’t he stay on task???
He reaches out again to me today but I don’t actually know it’s him yet because he’s using a different phone number.
First off, men you’ve blocked who try to get through to you by using a new number are so disrespectful. I blocked you. Obviously, that means I don’t want to see you. But, you think it’s appropriate to try and get through to me anyway??? Trash. Men are garbage. Period.
Anyway, we discuss booking and he manages to stay on task. He gets all the way to the point of completing my booking form. He’s using a burner number (since I blocked his real number) so I can’t run a background check (using a burner number is already a strike against him because the form specifically asks for a real number. But, he’s trying to avoid that because he doesn’t want me to know he’s the same twat who tried to book me before).
Since I only have his burner, I have to use the name on his driver’s license to run a check. I find his LinkedIn page and realize the photo looks mighty familiar. I use his full name to perform a search through my booking form submissions. His form shows up and his original phone number is on it. I find the text conversations with that phone number and it all becomes clear.
I text him to tell him that since we failed to complete the appointment the first time (delicately implying that it was his fault), he has to pay a non-refundable 25% deposit. Told him, if he would like to move forward and pay by CashApp, let me know. He texts me 10 minutes later and says “Yes, we did try before. But, I couldn’t make it to your city within 30 minutes”.
Once again, we are not staying on task. I specifically asked him for confirmation that he would like to move forward. Instead, he’s explaining himself. Irrelevant. Furthermore, I get the sense that he’s trying to get out of paying the non-refundable deposit.
Even if I wanted to respond, I didn’t know how… Was he expecting me to argue with him?!?!?? We are trying to do business here and you are not getting to the point! Either tell me you want to pay or not!!! Later, I realized, this is how he deals with women in his dating life. He thinks it’s appropriate to deal with a professional in the same way. Idiotic, senseless texts that go nowhere. Incredibly frustrating. It’s like he was playing video games while texting me at the same time. Absolutely no respect for my time. And women actually date these men!!!!! I’ve tried to date these men before! I don’t know if his type of behavior is specific to black men or what. Just dumb as fuck.
Anyway, he’s blocked again. Recounting that story is getting me riled up. Lord, may this fool never reach out to me again.
