So, after a long week for the both of us, 3 of the days in a row of which involve not eating dinner together, my husband calls me while I'm waiting for my bus trying to figure out dinner plans. I subtlely hint that I just missed a bus so it will be awhile (at least 30 min) and want him to pick me up. It is a 10 min drive and about 2.5 miles from our apartment to this station. He complains that he had a long drive home and doesn't want to. Okay, no big deal, he drives a long distance to work and gets stuck in traffic sometimes. His commute is still shorter than mine but I at least don't have to drive. He asks about making hot dogs and I had said just wait until I get home because they make two seconds to make.

do I have any right to be upset about this?

Ok so this isn't going to make or break our marriage by any means but I'm so annoyed and I just need to get it off my chest and am wondering what people think about this little H scenario that played out this evening.
So, after a long week for the both of us, 3 of the days in a row of which involve not eating dinner together, my husband calls me while I'm waiting for my bus trying to figure out dinner plans. I subtlely hint that I just missed a bus so it will be awhile (at least 30 min) and want him to pick me up. It is a 10 min drive and about 2.5 miles from our apartment to this station. He complains that he had a long drive home and doesn't want to. Okay, no big deal, he drives a long distance to work and gets stuck in traffic sometimes. His commute is still shorter than mine but I at least don't have to drive. He asks about making hot dogs and I had said just wait until I get home because they make two seconds to make.
So I wait. Around half an hour later he calls back, I'm finally on the bus but it's going to be another 15 min or so before I get home. He asks me what I want on them and I said just wait...He said he already made them because I said I'd be home in about a half hour. So now I'm annoyed because by the time I get home, my food will be cold and I'll have to reheat it, etc, but whatever, I just make my way home. So I get home and go to finish making my food, and not only is it cold and stuck to the pan, but he isn't getting his. I ask him where his food is. He says he already ate!! Like seriously? You couldn't wait 15 more minutes until I got home? Now he doesn't understand why I'm upset especially because he "made me dinner", which involved throwing two hot dogs in a pan and burning them.

I'd be more annoyed he was too lazy to come pick me up than about hot dogs.

Don't even get me started on not being willing to drive ten minutes to pick you up.

*Shrug* I never claimed it was the worst problem in my life. I was just annoyed by it at the time and was wondering what others thought. That's why I put it under the ML board and not Trouble in Paradise. Obviously it isn't a serious issue.
I would have been a little annoyed too...

I just wanted to see if I was at all crazy for being unhappy about the turn of the events because he was acting like I had absolutely no reason to be miffed.
FTR, I wasn't even late. I always get home between 6 and 6:30 and that night I had gotten home at 6:15. It really depends on public transportation, which never follows a schedule around here. Also, after a long day of standing and taking the subway for 30 min (also while having to stand), I don't particularly want to walk 2.5 miles home. Usually the bus comes sooner but sometimes you just never know. He didn't give a reason for not waiting other than that he didn't want to have cold food. Which, yeah, I get, but I told him to not make it until I got home for that very reason.
ANYways, it's over now, just wanted to clear up some things :P Hopefully we've both learned how to react in a situation like this in the future.
