This question is mainly for providers. Is it considered offensive to request a last minute appointment? While I understand that they can be rarely accommodated is it really to much to ask. My specific work and home situation does not allow for much planning ahead and I really don't want to book then have to cancel. I am generally forced to book last minute as a result. The reason I ask is I have looked at a few providers Twitter feeds and see some pretty snarky responses regarding last minute bookings. I am fine with getting a no but if possible I don't want to offend anyone either.
