i mean i wasnt glued to whatsapp the entire time. but like, my understanding of the social contract around setting an appointment time is that saying "i'm free any time tomorrow" is yielding control of the appointment time to the other party. saying "what time is good for you?" is returning the ball back to me. ok. a little impolite to try and outpolite me imo. it's like saying "after you" when i'm already holding the door open for you. i offer a time and two hours later they say no let's do 2 pm. like just take my politeness! it's social lubricant! theyre de-lubricating my social encounter!
