Thanks for all of your advice! I don't mind reasonable texts, which are asking the best time to call, or even if I'm working that day (politely). I can only take calls at select times, as I don't want to be arranging bookings at my civvy job.
I try not to react negatively, but sometimes it feels like I write my profile to be my own private novel!! Some days, I just laugh it off, but it can just really drive me bonkers.
I will toy around with an auto response on my phone, but at the moment, I don't bother putting my number up, as the loonies are out in full force around here. They are given my number if they ask politely for it (most are completely incapable of saying please) for booking purposes only.
Ahh MsLady, I've had texts at crazy hours too... I had one yesterday morning (around 4:30am) asking me to get to Newport for a car meet, very crudely. I would usually ignore, but forgot to put it on silent and the ding woke me up... the reply wasn't friendly.
Thanks again for listening to my rant. I'll also try discreetly wording my aw auto response, as I'm paranoid about profile being pulled, as I literally don't get any interest elsewhere. Xxxx
