I collected my parents in law from Sydney International Airport on Tuesday morning - to help my wife. In doing so, I arrived three hours late to work. This is not an issue, however, as I have some workplace flexibility to make up this time, which I already now have.
My issues of trust are following:
When I arrived at the airport, my father in law greeted me in a condescending manner & tone: "You are at the wrong arrivals hall. Our arrivals hall is about 50metres away." He then marched me up to meet my mother in law, who was waiting no longer than five minutes in the adjacent arrivals hall. After exchanging greetings, I then took a trolley of their luggage, wheeled it past the exact spot I was waiting at earlier, and then proceeded to wheel it to the car park.
My father in law then became exasperated when I stopped. I told my mother in law to wait for me a moment as I paid for the parking. Seeking an answer for my delay, my father in law asked, shaking his hands, shoulders & eyes, what I was doing. I told him. "Oh", in response. With no offer of payment from him, I proceeded to pay the charge.
Having paid, my mother in law then proceeded to interrogate me while I drove across Sydney, even correcting my grammar whenever I uttered an incorrect phrase or word. Focusing on the traffic, unappreciated, perplexed and perplexed, I too ask the question: why do people break trust?
I trusted my parents in law would treat me civilly, with respect and appreciation for collecting them from the airport, driving them home and acknowledging my costs for parking charges, fuel & time invested.
In lieu, I received nothing of the sort.
I am with you, Sunshine1! Why do people break your trust???
