S 50-something child
Today I watched a grown woman pout like a 3-yr-old when her appointment didn't bump me. We both had appointments, and when she realized I was going to be working with the person she wanted to, she said she thought there was a mistake. She "signed up two days ago to work with [you] at this time", so I pointed out that I had signed up a while ago with that same person.
This bitch then she proceeded to explain to us what she thought should have happened -- that she had wanted to take my place. My trainer then said that the system doesn't work like that, and that they were already scheduled with me.
She literally started scowling and POUTING. Had she been even slightly nice, I would have happily swapped -- I really like the other trainer there, too -- but nah. Eff that entitled bitch.

As I was giving birth a nurse came to my doctor and said the woman in the next room really wanted him to deliver her baby.
Doctor is like, nah I’m busy right now.

He delivered her first child and so she wanted him to deliver her second. The audacity of the nurse was what got me.

Make a list of every disfunctional behavior you might see from a bully, manipulator, hothead, etc. Really build out the lst. When you think you're done, set it aside.
Then make a list of every disfunctional behavior you might see from a young child going through the "terrible twos"
I predict the biggest difference you'll find between these to lists is experience.

I work in complaints. Let's just say we all bend over backwards for polite reasonable kind clients and do the absolute minimum we have to for the rude ones. And we take our damn time too. Also if there is something discretionary that I could give one or the other, guess which one I will give it too and which one will never have heard about it?
Don't get me wrong, people are furious sometimes when they come to us, so it's not the first interaction we judge. The nature of my job is that it takes a while to either sort out, or explain and prove the client's understanding is incorrect. Think investment products.
Attitudes matter. Want it sorted in 1 week or 3? Want something waived or not if it's possible? You decide yourself, not me.

This has been my experience when I've had a situation that needs to be resolved. I understand how crappy a job like that can be and I try really hard to be patient (it's not your personal fault that there is a problem) and grateful for the help. I don't expect extra consideration because it's just common courtesy, but it happens frequently.
I like your attitude!!

Dont downvote me but i understand her point of view (not the way she acts towards you) She called and make an appoinment with a specific person. They should have told her that that trainer is already booked. But they didnt. So yes she is right to feel bad. She is NOT right to ask to take your trainer from you. But this is the fault of the place for not telling them that the trainer was already booked. I would have thrown a fit too if i was in that situation. Not at you but at the place.
She is not entitled she was wronged.

It almost sounds like she was indeed informed, and either it was suggested or she imagined that if she inquired at arrival there’d be a possibility to manipulate a change. Like a person asking for a different seat on the plane. She needs to work on her planning and her negotiating skills, and most probably her social skills.

I never understood iy like that. perhaps english not being my first language. to me it sounded like she made an appoinment with a specific person who was already booked. that happened ro me several times and i was so pissed. turns out they thought i would be ok with it, that is why they didnt told me that the person i wanted to book with was busy. after the 3rd time i stopped going to that place. so i am a little biased. but still doesnt expalin or excuse her attitude towards OP

I agree, she had every right to be disappointed. It was her reaction to being wronged. Looking at me point-blank when I said I had already signed up with him and her saying "I know" is entitled.

She was pissed and looking for someone to blame when the person to blame (the one who made the appoinment) was not there. This does not give her the right to be pissed at you but yeah the whole situation sucks

As the saying goes, you catch more flies with honey. It doesn't sound like she will ever catch a fly.
