being made to feel ashamed

[Freddo]

Going out on a limb here, whilst I don't agree with clients using emotional blackmail, I might have to own up to having done that once before..... I will throw myself on your mercy with the details...

I made a booking with a lady once, and having driven for a an hour to get there on time I called her to say I was at the pre-determined location, and was ready when she was.

At this point she said she was double booked, and would I come back the next day!!

I told her that I only had that day off (which was true) and that I had already travelled an hour to get there (again true) when I told her this she decided to let me have my booking.

Was that wrong of me?

You only stated the facts mate. She still could have said no. This has happened to me on more than one occasion but I just drove off without so much as a wimper.

I do not think it was wrong of you as you have to work as well and we do not all have the freedom in our jobs to come and go as we please.

I do agree with Kate, knowing she was double booked and did not really want to see me I would not have gone through with the booking
