People who say 'remind me'

I always confirm the night before. What's the weather like there, do you think you can still meet?

Maybe I'm being over sensitive as it's our first meet up since my mother died recently and I thought she might make the effort to remember.

Oh dear I say it sometimes. It’s not because I’m important and busy, just forgetful and don’t always keep a calendar up to date.

Maybe I'm being petty but I hate it when you arrange to meet up with someone and they say 'now won't you remind me nearer the time'. It sounds like 'I'm so busy and important but you're not so it's up to you to remember'.

Someone said that to me a couple of weeks ago. We're supposed to be meeting tomorrow. I haven't reminded her and she hasn't been in touch and I haven't bothered to remind her.

I would normally text someone the day before we're due to meet but just feel a bit irritated that it was left entirely up to me.
