I don't know if he's a scammer or what, but he's a complete asshole. I was scheduled with him for 6:45/7 on a Friday night in an inconvenient suburb of Dallas (ie - 30 min drive). But we never met - here's how it went down.
6:02 he confirms we're still on for 6:45/7, so I leave my house at 6:15
6:40 I left him know I'm early but say no rush
6:52 he texts and says he just got home but needs to shower
7:06 I ask if he's almost ready
7:08 he says he needs 2 min because he got a phone call
7:14 i ask if I should just go home at this point (I'm an idiot - CLEARLY - for giving him the benefit of the doubt this long)
7:15 he says hold on he's on the phone
7:17 he says hang tight
7:18 I say you've been saying that for 30 minutes I'm out
7:21 he asks if I'm still there and explains that he had to "call his partner for taxes"
7:21 I say I'm only five minutes away but if he's actually ready I can turn around (I'm an IDIOT). I don't hear back for a few minutes and at 7:25 say: "So you're still on the phone? And no clue when you might be done? And just thought it was cool to ask me to wait in the car for 30-45 min past when we were scheduled?"
7:30 he says he needs 10 minutes (which, just, LOLOLOLOL)
I explain that he said he needed 2 minutes 22 minutes ago so I will continue driving home. I tell him to get bent and that I will be letting people know on this forum that he's an asshole.
7:41 (presumably still on the phone) his attempt at an apology: "I had very important things to deal with because I haven’t been home in Over a month and I had take care of it today. Different time zone man so it was imperative for me to do it today I do apologize"
Me: "And you had no idea that you had to do those things when you scheduled with a client for 7 tonight?? Your inability to manage your time or be considerate of the time of others isn’t my problem. I really hope this business isnt a significant source of revenue for you. Bc no one who checks that forum is going to hire you anytime soon"
Him: I don't live here boo. you good.
Me: Lol it's not just a Dallas forum boo.
Get bent, asshole.
