Clients and escorts getting lost? Myth or sad reality?

So many times providers would text me multiple times asking. How far away. When it had only been 10 min. I usually marked this down as being traveling providers or new but it happened often. 

Like I told you 25 min and I told you when I left and I am not late so leave me be to drive damn ha. 

Tell them you don't text and drive. It's illegal in Illinois, and dangerous everywhere.

I’d like to consider myself smart and tech savvy. I get lost all the time. 

I’m told to get lost sometimes but I think that’s different?

Exactly!

Unfortunately, if some young folks don't get a reply right away, they feel ignored, and disrespected. Tell a millennial: "I have a meeting and I won't be able to reply to you while it lasts", you'll see the cultural shock, they just can't analyze and comprehend something like that.

My mistake - texting and driving is illegal in 48 states. So now you have a really good reason not to respond to obnoxious texters.

Yeah, I got that from a certain 5-star provider I've been receiving inquiries about. I was in the office, and texted, "Dude, I'm WORKING," and he still wouldn't stop hounding me to change the session schedule. Since he screwed me on my schedule time, that's now an instant cancel for me.

As an (older) Millennial, I can assure you that the mature among us realize that anyone who needs to be constantly texted and reassured is probably insecure, possessive, entitled, or just outright rude and inconsiderate.

I used to have an a@@hole manager who would text employees with our internal IM, and if they didn't respond in 2 minutes, would start texting "ping" to us, as if we were a goddamned network host. Once, he did it to a new father who was changing his baby's diapers. The guy asked the manager if he wanted sh!t smeared all over the work computer. That shut the a@@hole up.

Even in DC... folks get lost and I'm talking about nowadays with iPhone and google maps, picture before without it. 

Folks from Maryland are famous for driving into the city using the avenues and not being able to get off from them and check the numbers of the streets, while Virginians who most of the time take 14th St bridge know how to find the other numbers.

I know some might use it as an excuse but do folks actually get lost? Do they go to another Hilton hotel? If your hotel room is 1420 do you have to explain that's on the 14ht floor? 

Lack of common sense and critical thinking is a plague that has impacted many. 

Even  with a smartphone, Google, GPS, and cars that will drive for you, people will still get lost and can’t seem how to figure things out. 

I had an associate (we all live in DC), who could never make it to brunches or dinners on time as she was always lost. This one particular time, she called me from her 2020 BMW, asking me for directions. All she had to do was enter the address into the dashboard of her car. 

At this point, when anyone is “lost” or “confused” about anything, and either google or AI can answer the question, I don’t even respond.

It's also ADHD, and lack of simply paying attention! 

Wonderful story about your coworker, hilarious!

Maybe her BMW was a programmed to drive like a woman, too, and therefore it would still get lost!

LOL…..

I agree!!! The level of indecision, getting lost, and asking questions that occurs with women are exhausting.

Earlier this summer I was shopping in a store and this woman was driving her husband crazy…. Peppering him with questions, suggestions, and indecisions. 
 

He was exercising the patience of JOB with dealing with her…. 
 

He looked at me with sadness as if we could trauma bond…. 
 

I said “sorry dude, I’m gay… I don’t  have those problems.
