Rude

[dragonyphoenix]

I use my cell phone as an alarm clock. It's set for godawful early and doesn't have an option for me to pick days so it's set all the time. After yesterday's awfulness, I forgot to turn it off and left it in the living room. It not only woke my but also my roommate Kat. She glared and said "That was rude." before lumbering back to bed.

I looked on Merriam-Webster and their definition does not support this, bu I thought that rude meant something offensive that was done on purpose. If it wasn't deliberate, does that still count as rude? 


Note: this comes out of feeling hurt by her comment. About 45 minutes after the wake-up call, I was lying in bed and heard Emma, Kat's dog, moving about. I got out of bed to walk Emma so that Kat, who has chronic pain, wouldn't have to. The rude comment came after we were back in the house. It sort of felt like a slap in the face since I'd just gotten back from walking her dog.

I hope you two have worked this out by now. I know, for me, when I am just awake, things can come out of my mouth that I don't mean. Especially if I have not had caffeine/food morning rituals yet. I try to minimize morning grumpiness, but surprise!awakenings are when it comes out the most.

Yesterday maramcreates woke up and was concerned that she could not find the cat who frequently gets shut in closets. She was justified in her concern, but I still grouched at her because I did not want to be awake. After I was slightly more awake and we located the cat (who was in the kitchen begging for food from other humans), I apologized for grouching.
