how to handle paying when its a bad time

[Guest Billyboy]

Sean,sorry if it came across that way, I really meant no disrespect. I just see things a different way and would have handled differently.

[Guest squaddie]

My , my, my. There seem to be an abundance of canonisation candidates knocking Sean.

 

Sean was booked by a client. I assume they discussed what what reguired and agreed to it. Sean travels there, gets undressed and played with for 10 mins, and then the guy says it isn't working for HIM. Was that Sean's fault? I agree if it wasn't going to work it was better to call a halt, but surely Sean was entitled to part of the fee. To refuse to give anything says what an arsehole the client was.

 

With age it becomes easier to control one's temper and I have reached the stage where I have a strong control. However, when I was Sean's age it wasn't so. There was a situation where Sean was , and I feel justifiably so, pissed off. I assume it was in temper and frustration that he did what he did, and I can understand his reaction. It was done (the kicking in the speakers) on the spur of the moment, in a flash, and in a pissed off temper. His action wouldn't stop me from wanting to visit him because I wouldn't treat him like that client did, so the situation wouldn't arise

 

A little more understanding and less 'holier than thou' attitude is called for. And Sean, I'm not expecting a discount.

[Guest Sean]

Squaddie, You are a sweetheart. Please do call if you are ever in NY or LA. Big smooch to ya!

So I take it that your advocating that a violent reaction to a nonviolent transgression is generally appropriate and acceptable for a 'young' man... or is this simply a case of 'boys will be boys'? (no disrespect intended to Sean for he certainly is no 'boy').

 

yours truly

 

holier than thou... still waiting for canonization.

[Bilbo]

And there is a real difference between doing it in the heat of the moment and coming here afterwards and bragging about it after you have, hopefully, cooled down.

[Guest LAtommy]

Sean, you are WAY OFF! :-(

 

Next time I have afternoon tea at The Ritz-Carlton or have dinner at Numbers in Weho and I complain about service it is OK for the server to kick in my car, rip the stereo out and whatever else manly rage can push him to do? (sorry for the run on ;-))

 

GET REAL! Any other situation other than the escort biz he'd been arrested!

[Guest Sean]

Guys GET REAL!! this is becoming ridiculous! It had nothing to do with me not holding up my end of the bargain. The guy was a JERK and he deserved the foot in his speaker. Sorry if some of you don't agree but I could really give a damn!

 

Later

Sean,

 

To my mind this thread is no longer about you -- we had our dialog and I am satisfied that we made our views clear to each other, nothing more to be gained.

 

I am interested in the breadth and depth of squaddie's permissive perspective. Sorry you are getting dragged back in. It was not my intent although I knew it was a risk -- my apologies.

[Guest Sean]

Tampa, I see no where in Squaddies post accusing you of anything, he could have been talking about anyone who has posted on this thread attacking me. Sorry you took his post personally. I think this thread should just end here. Its becoming a major bore and taking up bandwidth.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

I agree.

[Guest ecb]

Was there any music coming out of those speakers?

[Guest squaddie]

I have been away hence the delay in replying.

 

All I was trying to show was a little understanding for Sean's actions - not condoning, nor approving. Nor was I making a personal attack on anyone who was having a go at Sean. Sorry if anyone took offence if they thought I was making an attack on them.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

No problem Squaddie, we are all friends here -- for the most part.

 

And Sean does need a little understanding. (hehe) :-)
