Fucking Work

so, story is that I'm having some anger right now. Here's why: I was in my last little bit of my shift today at work, and was super excited to get off. My coworker, who is closing the store tonight decided to go for break exactly a half an hour before I left. Our breaks are half an hour long, and I figured that he'd be back on time seeing as he knew that I would be off as soon as he got back. 5:30 rolled around and no sign of him. I took a deep breath and delt with a few more customers. Ten minuites later, he rolled in the door. As he came into my department, I was taking my apron off to leave. I looked at him, and said something along the lines of "You're late. Please don't be late"
I was tired, my feet hurt, and the customers were pissing me off. He looked me straight in the face and went "I'm not late. I left at ten after. Sorry"
I could have delt with it if he had just said "shit, I lost track of the time, I'm sorry" but no, he had to lie to me. And not just that, but he lied to me in a way that made me feel like I was the bad guy here, which I tell you, makes me want to punch a wall, or something to that effect.

So here's my question: why is it that everytime I've been angery about something, some man comes along and finds a way to make me feel as though its my fault? When did this start being ok?
