I was recently a little rude to HR at my company because they were really slow at getting my documents in order as I joined a new job (there's more to it but rather not go into detail); I didn't curse at them or do anything to harm them but it needed to be done because otherwise my they would have delayed it massively. They were actually supposed to start it in November but haven't yet, which will delay a few things.

I feel horrible about it because naturally I could have handled it better but I was under pressure since they had delayed it before and did not inform me &amp; needed to get it done. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
