Do you phone when people don't turn up?

[Scampi]

Lady was meant to be here at 3pm. She phoned me last night to confirm the time

Guess she could just be running late!

 

[Skippydo]

Give her a bit of time yet but if she doesn't turn up i wouldn't give her the satisfaction of ringing her and letting her know your annoyed.
Don't you just hate some people??!!

 

[Scampi]

Yeah, she sounded very keen and interested on the phone, we arranged it wednesday then she phoned last night to confirm!

 

[Pedantic]

Swine flu ?

 

[GinaB]

Perhaps she is lost?

 

[Tangaroo]

This happened to me once a few years back. The person was very keen on the phone but then didnt turn up.
That night i had my saddle stolen from a locked tack trunk!
Not saying this will happen to you but just make sure everything is locked up well when you leave today!

 

[BFG]

Personally i would give her a call just to make sure she isn’t "lost".

 

[0ldmare]

Not sure about Swine Flu, probably just pig ignorant!

 

[j1ffy]

I'd call! I was 10 minutes late to see my share horse and the owner called. I wasn't offended and think it's fair enough if you're giving up your time!

 

[0ldmare]

Meant to add, Yes I would ring them!

 

[Jericho]

Agree!

I did also phone up the last no show when I sold my horse and left a 'thanks very much' message on her machine, as I had taken time off work, paid for childcare etc etc and I think it is very inconsiderate to just not turn up. I wouldnt do it to someone else and I feel that if I made that person feel guilty for the 10 secs that they had to listen to my message it may make them think twice before doing it again. Probably not though. I hasten to add that I started my message 'I hope you are OK and nothing bad has happened to prevent you from keeping our appointment but......."

 

[JoBo]

I would phone too, but would probably leave it half an hour after the time they were meant to arrive, just because it’s easy to get lost around our lanes, saying that phone signal can be hit and miss too.

Hope she has turned up by now though!

 

[pixiebee]

no shows are annoying arent they? Trying to sell mine now and know how you feel!

 

[BallyshanHorses]

I wouldn't bother if they are that inconsiderate.If they tell you a time they should at least be there or if they are running late then they have your number too you would hope.There are far too many hoof kickers around with nothing better to be doing it seems.

Did she turn up?

 

[hollyandivy123]

where are you there is a lot of problems on the motorways today m6 is grid locked for 10 junctions. this is not an excuse not ring of course but she might have got stuck etc

 

[Scampi]

She didn't turn up nor phone! I phoned her twice, no ans

Not a voicemail so couldn't leave a message.

I might send her a text as I have got the horse in out of the rain, allowed time for her to dry, made her look pretty and kept her in!

 

[popsicle]

How annoying! But very common unfortunately

I always phone - they never answer.
