A man in Maine was arrested and charged with hiring a prostitute after he called police to complain the woman “shorted him 10 minutes,” according to a police report.
Old Orchard Beach, Maine police arrested Scott Pipher, 34, on Monday, but they began their original investigation on March 25 after Pipher called to complain that the woman he hired did “not give him his money’s worth” by cutting their time together short by 10 minutes, the Portsmouth, N.H., Herald reported.
Police said their investigation also led to the arrests of two women believed to be prostitutes contacted by Pipher, a resident of Portsmouth, through a website, the Associated Press reported.

Pipher, who is scheduled to be arraigned in the Biddeford, Maine, District Court on Dec. 12, has a history of complaining about services rendered from women, according to the Herald.
He is listed on both the National Blacklist and Bad Boy Client List, websites where escorts and escort agencies can share information about clients to help others avoid booking dates with dangerous clients, as someone who has prompted complaints from escorts in the past, the Herald reported.
On one of the websites he’s described as being “notorious for booking-out calls and then not answering his door or phone.”
Pipher has refused to comment to media.
According to Old Orchard Beach police, an officer was dispatched to Pipher’s former residence on Sept. 30 when a woman complained that she was booked to perform a private dance, but the man who ordered the dance refused to answer the door when she arrived.
The dancer claimed it was a theft of her services, but police said it wasn’t a theft because she never danced.
A week later, police said they were called by a woman, who said she was hired as an exotic dancer to go to the same address, after she became “freaked out” by the man who hired her and fled in such a hurry she left some of her clothing behind.
There was no arrest following those incidents because investigators had difficulty with the witnesses, police said.

There are way too many talented amateurs in the game to be dealing with the pros.
*facepalm*
Haha, what a dumbass. I'm glad he got shorted. I'm waiting for the retaliation call or complaint, "But he didn't pay me in full." Just throw throw them in a cell together, make her finish the job, him pay her what's owed, fine them and set them free. Funny how this wouldn't be illegal if they were filming it for "porn". She's not a prostitute if she's an actress. Remember that fellas.
Maybe he was too "short" and she had enough.
This is the kind of guy who would call the police and report his "stash" was stolen.
Now that is a true douche bag!
And I thought I was frugal. Now that's just a tight wad, and no tip I bet.
Maybe he's an early finisher ;-} Buddy you only get one shot for your money.
Tax evaders, MONEY CHANGERS. Surely this isn't happening in Maine, too.
Darwin Award material for sure.
I wonder when this goes to court if the ladies with counter-sue this idiot for not giving them the full 4 inches?
Just when you think you have come across ( no pun intended ) the dumbest person out there you find another one waiting in the wings....
At first I thought he was saying she didn't give him his change back, because everyone knows Escorts will always keep the change, calling it a tip.
Was she on Angie's List? You need to be careful who you hire.
Hookers have a blacklist? I guess it's like a no fly or problem patient. So it's understandable. It's good to see Hookers have a business model and policy and procedure too.
a NATIONAL blacklist.
Wounder how many Secret Service Agents are on it?
I think the whole agency is blacklisted.
Sounds like a Seinfeld episode. If you name names, you get put on the blacklist at Hop Sings.

This is the funniest thing I have read all year...LOL
This guy is dumber than dirt. Someone cut his nuts off so he doesn't reproduce.
This guy was probably trying to double dip and she was having nothing to do with it.
Maybe he doesn't have any nut and that's why it was short.
Hopefully this knuckehead sticks with prositiutes so he does not reproduce. Randy you beat me to it as mine cleared but I sense this will be the theme of the thread.
... and the Parade continues.
It's truly amazing that such a handsome and studly piece of virility like Scott would have to stoop to paying for sex...
If only I had his good looks, I wouldn't be alone, lonely and all by myself...
Sam say it aint so and with the kind of beer you produce. I've seen you jumping out of that vat any man who can do that, he's a keeper. There is a biker chick out there for you yet.
So... wait... there is a publicly available trade blacklist? And yet, we still continue to arrest people like this because we want to pretend prostitution is a real crime? Am I the only one that sees the cognitive disconnect here?
Total disconnect...and denial over the world's oldest profession.
Kind of like how they try to say legalizing marijuana will only cause more mayhem.
It degrades women...or at least, it degrades their leverage over husbands, etc. If they could pay for it and not get caught by the law, honey-do-lists would be sitting around uncompleted everywhere.
honey-do-lists are required to sit around uncompleted by law! You must not be married! I still have items on my list from my first home in Chicago, I now live in AZ, that was 3 homes ago! I'll get to them, some day! Maybe after football season????
I understand that men generally don't get as much sex as they want when married, but my, oh my, to pay for sex! Holy cow is there no one that married men know that'll doink 'em for free? Gotta think about the finances, and it's too easy to get caught paying for it.

As the old saying (I think it was Lewis Black, but possibly another comedian) goes:
"You don't pay a prostitute for sex. You can get sex just about anywhere. What you're paying the prostitute for is to leave afterwards."
When your married you're paying for sex it's just a different form of currency.
LOL seriously????!!!! funniest thing i've read today!
Cops love idiots like this guy. Fish in a rain barrel.
I wouldn't be surprised if He "Shorted" Her.
The perp sounds like a mental case.
She's lucky she didn't end up in the basement..."rubbing the lotion on her skin".
He looks absolutely disgusting...no wonder he has to pay for it.
He looks like half / downs.
What a maroon.
I like that color.
The cops need to cut this poor chump a break, evidently he's too DUMB to get any legal...
Looks like now he won't get any illegally either. Dumb gets Dumber I think I've got an idea for a new porno!
And if any of you are thinking of spiting on your monitor it's in the movie.
It is quit obvious he was too "short" himself, and since she didnt have "enough" to "work with" she left early, not her fault.
No woman should EVER go back there! Imagine how humiliated he is now....truly dangerous!!
NOBODY GETS A BREAK IN THE PROSTITUTION RING! If you treat your ladies "very well"...there will never be a problem! If you screw 'em over....you'll probably get shot. Perhaps he's looking to get shot!
Just when you think you've seen it all over the years...another article pops up that's entirely too funny to not be true. You can't make this stuff up...
is he slow? no seriously he looks a bit slow
If he was slow she would not have shorted him! She would have charged him overtime!
Slow is relative in this case. Like bubba said it would have cost more.
Slow.....and yet he had money for a hooker while others struggle to pay for food.
Ladies. Don't waste your time. This guy is a fool.
He looks like he has a mild form of Down Syndrome.
legalize it for heavens sake....its safer for everyone and we can tax it!
OMG HAHAHA! This is like calling the cops on a drug dealer that shorted you.. Wth was she supposed to do what if he was done haha.
I cannot believe this news..
Seriously he looks like he may have a little bit of a downs syndrome look to him? Maybe he is a little slow.. (sorry I do not know the right word)
As far as I'm concerned if this guy soiled his shorts in less time than he was expecting, then he got what he paid for, the hooker did her job and the only person he has to blame is himself for being a really lousy lay!!!
Time to start thinking about some pills or cream to prevent that premature ejaculation next time pal!
I love these Darwin Award candidates coming forth like they do. Maybe he will get some time in the pokey and find himself not getting so 'shorted' in there
Dumb and dumber, it's like calling the cops to say the blow I got from the corner pusher wasn't coke but baking soda......LOL
