If I had to have my appointment in an office that wasn't his, because of some angry client who was squatting in it and refusing to leave, it would be a weird session. The new environment would be unsettling and I'd be wondering and worrying about the other person. Did you ever consider the effect you had on the other person?

Actually I was just sitting, no need to squat.
Also my t has said that I am his most attached client. I do know that this other person does not have a full time job like myself. In fact he doesn't work at all. These are facts not just my skewed reality.
I did say that I wasn't leaving because it was my appointment time and t said I believe you, I will just have to find a new office then. And he did. And to tell you the truth I in that moment I could really have cared less how that client's appointment went. I am sure you wouldn't have sat there a thought "oh I hope their session goes well." I hope he is comfortable and feels safe for his appointment. Granted he had to be in another office but at least he got to see t. I wouldn't care if we had to meet in the parking lot if it meant I was the one who didn't have to have the session cancelled. You say you would do such and such but do you really know that you wouldn't resort to emotional mind like I did? You don't really know what your behavior would have been. Therapy brings out the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks for your opinion I just don't really think we will see eye to eye on this.
