I had two customers with the same problem.  They would call me two or three 
times in a row to schedule an appointment.  And then when I did get it set 
up, they would still call.  And in both cases, when I showed up to tune the 
piano, they were surprised to see me, because they had completely forgot I 
was coming. 

Since you have gone through this yourself, the only thing you can do is put 
up with it.  Try to remain as calm as possible.  Perhaps you might want to 
talk to her husband and explain you have an appointment set up, so that maybe 
he can help her.  But other than that, just grin and bear it.
