Then I carry on and forget about it. My blood pressure is already too high, no point in making it worse.
Me too I am no angel I am sure I do things annoy others I always hope not driving them to froth at the mouth because I just wasn't aware I was doing something.

Comes a point people are taking advantage and this point IMO has been reached.
You make it sound like she has been betrayed.

The old dear just wanted to catch up with someone she hadn't seen for a while.

Re: Am I being over sensitive?

I've reverted to times that suit me, I told her this would be happening and she has adjusted her time so she's a bit earlier now.

I was never really cross about it, more sad and disappointed that my lack of faith in human nature had been reaffirmed

People really hate being forced to listen to others' health problems, I'm used to this by now but now and again a neighbour is genuinely interested so I go into a bit more detail.

And I'm fascinated by other peoples' health conditions. In hospital, waiting around, people are only too glad to talk of their illnesses. There isn't often much else to talk about.
