Coach's Disappearance

Elise Hu shares her frustrating experience with a tennis coach who vanished after she prepaid for lessons. Despite advancing $400 for a package of four lessons, she only received one before the coach disappeared, claiming he broke both elbows. Elise was left wondering if she would ever see her money or coach again, especially after sending multiple unanswered texts.

I have yet to take. I took one lesson, and then three lessons are outstanding. And it was at this point where he said that he broke two of his elbows and then just disappeared.

Coach's Return

In a surprising turn of events, Elise's coach resurfaced, casually texting that he was cleared to play again. This unexpected message came after Elise had sent eight unanswered texts, leaving her both relieved and frustrated. The coach's nonchalant return highlighted the challenges of dealing with inconsistent communication and the emotional rollercoaster of waiting for a response.

I just. I don't even like to double text. So the fact that I sent eight without a reply and was still waiting on him. No, Magusta.
