You really never know. Ok...end soap box.

My T has started sessions late (12 min late last session...girl had obviously been crying hysterically before me), and my T has kept me 15 min. late before. To me, it's all a wash, as I know she is sensitive to clients' needs. I think it is good that you recognize that this is something that is triggering you emotionally. It's also good to reason with yourself that a few minutes is fine, so long as your T gives you your full time. I also think it is good that you told T how you felt. I do think that you could have said this in a better way than swearing at T, but that is my opinion. I hope that you can work through this with your T.
Thanks for this!
