Bad mood is contagious

One of the insurance companies that I often liaise with has the worst attitude towards their customers.
Their phone etiquette is zero, manners zero, tolerance zero, tone of voice lousy, follow up skills bad and patience none.
First time, I am so pissed that I had to curse the caller 'to be banged by a car'.
Fiak.
So pissed.
So after a few calls back and forth, I ended the last call with the most irritated and impolite tone ever. And I made sure I hung up the phone faster and harder than she did.

Anyway, the pissed mood kinda stayed with me throughout the day. To make it worse, my crazy fiance wanted to go for bodycombat class for an hr, personal training session for an hr and then yoga for the next hr.
While waiting for him to finish his PT, I went jogging (actually half of it just walking) for 50 mins on the threadmill.
By the time yoga class started, I was freaking tired.
But anyway, criticism and looks of disapproval aside, my fiance was not very concerned abt my physical condition when I looked like I wanted to collapse. I had 2 small sandwiches for lunch today. And half a cup of plain yogurt w/ sunflower seeds for dinner. He had nasi lemak and chicken wings.

The final most irritating thing of the day was when he just had to find something to wipe the milk stain off his water bottle. He went to a closed stall at basement of the shopping mall, grabbed a used (and dirty!) cloth meant for wiping tables, and wiped his water bottle. Of course, I had to say something.
"Eeeeee! Why you use that cloth! It's damn dirty! There're germs."
He got offended and accused me of scolding him.
Well, I was (honestly) just commenting and very disgusted.
Just like how he always looked disgusted when he's at Little India.
But I'm not racist. I like Little India.
Anyway, we kinda quarrelled cos of this teeny weenie issue and back to the topic of the ring. He admitted that his friends mocked him for buying such a cheap ring.
I was still angry so I added to the fire.
"Ya. $9. Even Pri schooler can afford it."
"But that time, I didn't have enough $$."
"That's because you didn't plan. Well, you did spend abt few hundred on your church camp, didn't you? My ring was only $9."
He kept quiet.
Anyway, his stance is always to keep quiet.

Sometimes, I really feel like backing out of this marriage.
But today I am in a bad mood so I don't want to let this affect my judgement.
Tomorrow, I shall re-evaluate again.

Better day tomorrow, I hope.
