I had a lady call me last week that was scheduled to tour on Friday afternoon when the kids would be gone for the day. She had my address for her appointment. She no-showed so she was completely off my list of possibilities. Once you no-show your on my poop list.
I completely forget about her and she never called until Monday morning (yesterday). She asked if she could come over right then and I told her no... I was busy with the kids, I had filled my last infant space AND my hours werent going to work for her anymore (she tells me during this phone conversation that she wanted till 6pm - I close at 5pm).
So a few hours later, about 4pm, I had one daycare girl left and I was cleaning up when the doorbell rings. I answer it and it was HER!!!! She says "Hi I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd just come by!" REALLY?!?! I was shocked. Who does that?
I was stunned and realized who she was once she said her name. She started taking her shoes off outside my door and I quickly told her that "she couldnt come in.... she doesn't have an appointment, she needed to call first AND I dont have a space anyway!" Meanwhile she puts her 18 month old daughter down and little girl goes darting down my hallway! The little girl runs over to my DCG and yanks a toy out of her hand which causes her to push her and my DCG starts to cry.
I was so upset when I saw this!... I told her "I am in shock that you just came without an appointment... You know I dont have a space & your hours werent going to work here anyway AND you no-showed for your appointment on Friday. So I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave." She asked if she could just look around and I said "no, like I said you dont have an appointment... I dont do tours during the day and you gotta go".
So now I had to chase her daughter down my hallway because the mom was standing outside my door. I picked her daughter up - who had a HUGE FULL pee diaper hanging down to her knee caps & handed her to her mother & said "ok - bye bye"...
She was giggling the whole time and apologized while leaving and said she'd call me later to reschedule. Um Okay! What the heck?! I've never had that happen. I WISH I hadn't even answered the door, but it looked like one of my daycare moms thru the peep hole... so as soon as I opened it I was like "who the heck is this?"... I haven't had someone just assume they could show like that in years... especially after they have no-showed and knew I cant accommodate them & their hours anyway. Crazy!
