I am exactly the opposite of you. I go absolutely nuts when people don't plan things properly with me. I find it inconsiderate and rude to make plans with somebody but not give them times or dates. If I'm going to take the time out of my schedule to do something with you, you damn well better give me a time so I can bath, put make up on and have my hair done before we go, at the very least.
I have things to do, and those things don't get put on hold because you can't give me something as simple as a time, you know? Try understand from your roomates point of view. He probably has stuff to do, and like me, just wants to plan everything out correctly and not have you show up too early while he's busy doing things still, or too late when he's been waiting for you for longer than he should.
I'll agree that him calling you if you're 5 to 10 minutes late is abit ridiculous, because something as inevitable as traffic could influence whether you arrive 10 minutes late or not, but try to understand that to us people who like to make solid plans, you "free thinkers" are rather inconsiderate of us.
I totally agree with you. I have a friend who can be up to an hour late. But I am actually a punctual person (meaning once I do give a time, I do my best to be there at that time), I just don't like being asked when I'm doing stuff constantly. Here are some examples that may help you see my situation better
He asks what I'm doing today. I say I'm going to go grocery shopping at some point. He asks "what time are you going grocery shopping?" I say I dont know 4ish. Come 4:30 he's like "I thought you were going grocery shoppping" AHH leave me ALONE
I say that my BF is coming over later. He asks what time. Why is it any of your business? go away
In fact, I'm going to go as far to say that HE is being inconsiderate of MY time by constantly asking my schedule just for his own peace of mind because he hates not having a schedule! He needs to be more aware of how he's handling his anxieties
Is it normal to be annoyed by "time" questions?
