The electrician I'd booked to check out our smoke alarms didn't turn up. She just texted to let me know that. I replied saying "Thanks for letting me know. That is annoying, as you would have been waiting in for them to arrive. I'll ask them to re-schedule."
I know that is not validating as she didn't express an emotion in the text, merely stating fact. I wanted to let her know that I appreciate it would have been frustrating for her to wait all morning for them not to turn up. They have both our numbers so maybe they'll call her (?).
Urgh, I'm annoyed at how I'm at a stage where I'm discussing a tiny exchange like this!
