Agree 100%
It bothers me when people make out that because the T is paid we are in control and can be rude and they have to take it. It also bothers me when people are rude to their waiter etc because they also have to take it because we have they upper hand. Unfortunately I see this all the time and it makes me very uncomfortable.
In saying all of this, my T does not cause me unnecessary stress by being late or unreliable. She keeps her stuff out of my therapy and has never given me a reason to give her negative feedback. I see this as even more of a reason to treat her with the same respect she shows me and to be considerate if she ever does have an off day.
And to the OP - I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling the way you do. I think it's a good thing to not want to go around stamping all over other people's feelings (whether you pay them or not) as long as it's not getting in the way of you saying what you need to say. You sound like a considerate person to me and if it were up to me I would not change that.
