I end up telling them that they have had half of their 30 minutes already. How would they like to pay?
CLICKKK!

LOL.. My last similar was someone asking for three hours, after a very short and monosyllabic exchange, and please, where was the nearest bus stop?
It's wrong, of course, to discriminate in this way, except that experience has shown that there's a good basis to it.
I did offer a student rate for short coaching tasters last year and the first guy to turn up came on the bus and paid me in 20p pieces. It took him longer to count it out than taster was supposed to last, leaving my next client, with £300 in his pocket, waiting (directed by phone to a nearby coffee shop). I axed the student specials! But I think every bus traveller has caused a problem, usually getting lost, missing the bus or arriving hot, sweaty and not very nice to work with.

mm I can see why you axed the taster sessions. I have never had anyone arrive by bus but have found that those arriving by rail are excellent clients - arrive on time, keep me informed of train hold ups etc which is fine, I also found that offering a pick up and drop off service from the railway station is popular.
Naturally I dont do the driving personally and the driver is paid by the client. It does give a personal touch and am told it is far more relaxing than ordering a taxi etc. You may find it worth looking into something similar. |

I have had people come by bus with no problems but it must depend how far away the bus stop is I guess? It cannot be that difficult to get on the correct number bus surely?
Trains I agree Lady Julia are usually on time and you can be kept informed of progress, I think your idea about getting a car to collect them is a good idea and I will be looking into that.......

You would be lucky to get a bus to mine, and even if it did eventually turn up it would probably take longer to get here than a session.
As for rude people manners cost nothing and they could quite easily say thank you but your not for me good bye. rather than put the phone straight down. I've had a few of those that just hang up.
I also have a female that is so obviously calling as wank fodder, I just ignore her calls now, as she started calling me everyweek. (signs)

I do my own station pick-up and drop-off: I find it's valuable 'getting to know each other' time, but that's maybe because my work is perhaps more personal than most domination sessions.
And it's strange how I can always spot my client walking out of the station when we've never met before, and even though he's NEVER the same as the picture I built up in my head through the e-mail or phone exchanges.

Ha! Does 'she' ask what you would like her to wear?

Most PD sites give the impression that an element of impersonality is part of the domination process. It's just not my style.
I haven't sessioned with any PD's, I can't afford it!!
