Anyone else get blown off by a provider repeatedly?

[Masky]

Yes. I had some experience with this. I have gotten the runaround from a few providers. But as far as NCNS goes:

Though not an ECCIE member, Jasmine: She forgot about the first appointment we set up. We rescheduled, I show up at the location, she wasn't ready. Eventually she wanted to reschedule yet again for the next morning. Which I would have said "no" to but she offered a discount for the inconvenience so I agreed. Next morning comes and I don't hear from her at all. 3 strikes she's out. Her loss, my money went to someone else. tbh, I hadn't planned on seeing her anyway. A couple people I knew recommended her to me and that's the only reason I decided to schedule something with her.

I understand that stuff can happen and appointments may need to be cancelled from time to time but they should be considerate of my time too and they should at least communicate, that's all I ask. So if I ever get NCNS then I'm done with them. It's up to them at that point to get in touch with me and make it up to me (say with more time, freebie, discount, extra service, etc...). If they don't, they just lost easy money. Simple as that.

From the Grammar Monster:
Using A and An
There is sometimes confusion about whether to use an or a, particularly with abbreviations. (The words an and a are known as articles.)TREAT ACRONYMS LIKE WORDS NOT ABBREVIATIONS.

The sound of a word's first letter determines which to use. If the word starts with a vowel sound, you should use an. If it starts with a consonant sound, you should use a.... Tsk, tsk
As in an "NCNS, EN-see-en-es".
Maht be tahm to go see de head penguin agin Preshus, dun tole yu ah is a twit.. See dat deyr rooler Preshus?

De GRAMMAR NAZI stil roolz!!!.

I never tried to claim the title. Even had a few friends that were put off that I didn't go into academia. But I did spot my mistake after the editing period expired.

And thanks for the lesson. Since NCNS is an acronym, thanks for showing us that the GN crown has passed from your possession. (Your example of the "en" sound, the "e" is silent, hence "a" should be used.) Nice of you to point out your mistake

But I did spot my mistake after the editing period expired..........I never laid claim to any title in academia either, nor did I lay claim to the title of Grammar Nazi. If I remember correctly, not too long ago, it was bestowed by none other than you. My only degree came from The University of Hard Knocks.

And thanks for the lesson. Since NCNS is an acronym, thanks for showing us that the GN crown has passed from your possession. (Your example of the "en" sound, the "e" is silent, hence "a" should be used.) Nice of you to point out your mistake ........Or so you think, Precious, when will you ever learn? But since you insist. I will address the error in your thinking. The mistake was in your taking this on the chin trying to be condescending.

At the risk of being redundant, let us have this final lesson in grammatical application of A and AN. Because Precious, despite your feeble and futile attempt at deflection of the subject matter of this thread, I would be remiss if I allowed you to continue in your flawed reasoning.

The 2 rules:
1)TREAT ACRONYMS LIKE WORDS NOT ABBREVIATIONS.
2)The sound of a word's first letter determines which to use. If the word starts with a vowel sound, you should use an. If it starts with a consonant sound, you should use a.

Since the word of contention, as well as the subject of this thread is NCNS, let us start there. The sound of the letter in it's natural form in an acronym is what now Precious? Watch carefully now. eN as in, an enemy or if you personally prefer Precious, an enema. Thus an NCNS or even an NPC symbol, or an NRA member.
What skool did you go to anyway? It's embarrassing. More examples to clarify your muddled head, an eM D as in eMD-LEE, an aR N as in a registered nurse, or an eL MT. Or even something your might be more intimately familiar with personally Precious, like an STD.
None of which the sound of "e" is silent preceding the first letter of the acronym. What you're proposing to pronounce NCNS with would not be possible without the sounding of the "eh" sound. Get it, Precious? So if you're going to be condescending, at least know what the fuck you're talking about, before you open mouth and insert foot. It's embarrassing, really. When the fuck have you even heard something so asinine as someone saying a MD, a RN, a NRA spokesman, a NCNS? C'mon Precious, even being educated in a freaking third world country At least, I knew better than to sound that stupid and show the rest of the forum while I'm at it.

Maybe you were distracted by these Nunswhen you were in SKOOL. Consider yourself SKOOLD. Your remedial lesson is over. Pwned.

The Grammar NAZI still roolz!!!NEXT!!!!
And the inquisition continues..............Anyone been stood up repeatedly by the same provider?

[Precious_b]

Okay.
You can keep the GN title. Especially if it comes with more of those hot religious pictures. Reminds me of a few Genitorturers concerts i've went to.
Never heard that rule. But I was a lost fuck in school. I was going to say "Until I hear grade school kids say 'A, N, I ,O and U' that I wasn't going to buy it. But I do know the french do contractions of words that have vowels and at least one consonant (H).
Do tell, since you are schooling us, which other consonants treated to the "an" opening when used as words?

Don't forget to post one of those pictures in your reply

If you're comfortable posting it, post name of ECCIE Verified Provider, approximate date and details. Habitually rude NCNS's will not be tolerated anymore. Should've never been tolerated in the first place, whether the client thinks she was worth it or not, is irrelevant. Unrepentant, habitual offenders should be exposed if the provider doesn't respond to the allegations with a reasonable explanation.

That is an intolerable, opportunistic, inexcusable and inappropriate behavior that should be condemned by all. Let's get rid of these bad apples.

It's time that YOU, as a client get some consideration for YOUR TIME, after all YOU pay for THEIR time too.

Something you may not have thought about, for some of the ladies that keep you wondering if they will show up or not builds an un-approachability aspect into seeing her making her in greater demand, most men want what they think they can't have. A certain provider has a very long history of not being available when promised and I have read some have tried to see her for s long as five years before finally seeing her. Her fame only seems to grow the more she does it, granted when a meeting does finally happen she proves most of the time she was worth all the hassle it took to see her. HOTRIX1...I may have read your posting something like this about a certain provider. I am just an observer of all of this but having come from a marketing background I see the scarcity concept being used by several providers, always keeping one wondering if a session will actually take place.

[hotrix1]

ACR, not so innocent friend. The possibility of a provider playing hard to get is one thing. It's entirely another to NCNS deliberately and/or repeatedly. Playing games, wasting clients' time, either way, should be reported so we could avoid the game playing provider or at least make an informed choice.

Shouldn't we think about an NCNS sub-forum in the coed section listing all offenders. Keeping score how many times each provider does it to a different client. Would limit the search area to a minimum for checking out the prospective provider. NCNS's get buried not long after a thread goes dead or dormant. Often in a matter of weeks.

It would also allow for the rebuttal of the provider in her defense. Fair enough for both sides?
We pay for their time, why waste ours with habitual offenders?

Ladies, you get to call out your NCNS clients too. Fair is fair.

[NaughtyLittleNative]

As well as the wasting of a providers time. Yet many times youll find a woman to be a tad more understanding. My whole thing is if you didnt spend any money ((such as, book a room or provide upfront donation and the NS happened)) then its not a huge deal. IMO. Note i said imo, because its happened to me quite a few times even after i booked a room. i never get butt hurt, just charge it to the game. Schedules change, life happens. I do feel like one should ALWAYS TRY TO CONTACT THE PERSON AND LET THEM KNOW! But stuff happens. But Were grown ups on a grown up website. Theres so much drama already, we dont need another section for more drama. Plus the 2 usually end up meeting liking each other then the whole review and everything was all for nothin lol... Lets get back to the fun stuff Guys!!!!

[Jardinier]

NLN - you provide a very powerful perspective on this issue. Guys tend not to think about all of the costs (travel/travel/clothing & costumes/make-up/sundry items & supplies/ladies' physical well being/other risks/and expense of clients who cancel, let alone the backlash of her not being the ultimate fantasy for every visitor.

I always wondered what might happen if I didn't have a phone and was given the wrong location or room number. I always park in a discrete location, call for the room and see if any scary dudes mill about the parking lot. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be the guy waving a Glock around in a parking lot when the boys in blue show up following a disturbance in the force.

So, I show up...get the room number. If it's wrong (I showed up to the wrong building once...and the op was a great help in getting me to the right place), I call. Every hotel has a business phone...even if you don't have one. Funny enough, I was in a hotel in Baltimore once and was going to the soda machine for a cool beverage. I happened notice one of "Jackie's" associates using the hotel's business computers as a center of operations. She didn't ask me if I required any "assistance," but had her web site open on one computer, and BP open on the other. She was also on the phone with a computer "expert" who was helping her post to her site. She was busy, as her other phone was going off with a guy looking for special treatment. And, don't let me go into building "codes." I was instructed to "leave my phone in the car" and had to memorize a six digit "code" to get into the building. I had to go back to the car twice because they didn't give instructions on how to use the secret code once you get to the computerized door.

Well, anyway, I doubt the guests in the honeymoon suite were expecting a geezer with his prowess and honor on display after taking half a bottle of blue vitamins. Yea...they might go out to dinner and laugh at the experience, but the geezer is still out there with his alma mater hanging from his flagpole, and the person he was supposed to see is still catching up on reruns of Judge Judy while waiting for that elusive knock at the door. Everyone missed out on that one, and the guy was relying on a friend who "texted" for him...Well, that's what I heard.

I don't think I'd ask my friends to text for me. My friends would think it funny to call "Jackie" when I was really hoping for someone like Rebecca De Mornay.

Wow -- I just had an idea -- I'm going to have to check with Greyhound and see if they have a bus ride between Destin and Pensacola...then call the painted princess or one of our other friends to schedule the ride of my life. Or, maybe have NLN get on at one stop and the Autumn Fox or Squeaky Dino a little way down the road. Yep, don't need any blue vitamins here... Just a cell phone, and app and an active imagination. Y'all have an adventurous weekend!

[hotrix1]

Good one dude, I had no idea you actually were capable of writing something that was meaningful and relevant. IJFWY.

And NLN, hey sweetie, that's why it was proposed as a forum for the chronic offender not the occasional, Shit happens situation. I appreciate your input BTW. You sound like a very sensible person. Will have to meet you soon one of these days. You see I respect the providers time, so much so that I won't try to make an appointment or commit to one unless I have a firm idea of when it would transpire. My work schedule is so erratic planning days ahead is impossible. But as a courtesy I would at least make every effort to be there within minutes of the appointed time. NCNS'ing someone? Out of the question.
