Yes! Recently, I had a session like that. T was speaking very softly (maybe she was hung over &#128521, I didn't like the color of her toenail polish, her hair was in her face, there were many awkward silences, and I wanted her to somehow make me feel less agitated. It felt like she was disinterested, which agitated me even more. I also knew she was getting ready to go out of town for a few days, and I was feeling jealous knowing she would have a spectacular time with family and friends.

On the way out of her office, I said something like, "See you next week, hopefully." I kept walking, and I could hear her say my name in that hurt "what'd you go and say something like that for" tone. I turned and said, "Well, you never know what will happen." I'm not certain if she heard that comment because I was kind of far away. I felt so bad about it that I apologized later.

But, yeah, I think it's easy to get annoyed with T's for many reasons. Most of it for me is that, even though I realize they are not miracle workers, I sometimes idealize that they can see how bad I feel and provide relief in one session, and when that doesn't happen, I find the whole session to be unsatisfactory.
