> I'm one of those people always on time, so I've had many years of experience with waiting for others lol. You'd think I'd be better at it by now!
I tend to be very much on time usually, and it pisses me off when others don't bother to show the same respect/importance to it/me, whether it's an appointment, waiting for a friend or a call or whatever. If they have a good excuse I can get over it, but if there's no excuse it really bothers me.
I realize that some of my anger, like you said, is ridiculous, but I think that still it would be better to say something about how it makes me feel when the person does so and so. Because, yes, I think that I don't say anything and instead try to "let it go" but then it just builds up and I do the passive aggressive thing. I'm just not good with confrontation.
Here's an example: I've been pissed off at my roomate for several days now, and I have just been avoiding her and hoping that I don't have to see her or say anything to her... all because she made a couple of comments the other day that basically hurt my feelings by her bluntness/harshness as I saw it. But I didn't say anything at the time, wondering if she's right and I really am just a b--tch (which incidently is NOT what she even said), and now the incident will end up just "going away" but I don't think I'll be able to really fully get over it.
