Sage - no offense taken - I meant for it to be funny!
Ellie, I think what is REALLY bothering me is that he was acting like a stubborn, selfish @ss! Sorry, but I don't agree with you. Sometimes, yes, I am crazymaking, and sometimes he is just acting like a jerk. This is one of those times. He decided to dig in his heels, rather than hearing what I was asking of him (literally, 30 seconds, not necessaily NOW, but before we leave), when I am the one who is actually going to be running around going into the office, running errands, packing the car, packing the coolers, getting ready to go for far more hours that he is today.
I don't see it as anything but selfishness and downright rigidity on his part. He is annoyed that I want to take my table (for no reason - it's no skin off his nose), he's been giving me excuses for why I shouldn't bring it for days now, and so anything to do with the table, which was what the 30 seconds were about, he is going to shut me down.
And I don't appreciate being treated that way.
But thanks for your input - other opinions are always appreciated. I'm the first to admit when I'm being dense or laspng into old behaviors, but this time ain't one of 'em.
