Real Estate Agent Rant

Sorry if this has been beaten to death elsewhere; I need to vent badly!

So I'm selling the house my ex (not married) and I shared, living here by myself. I have an agent listing the house, etc., on the market about 3 months now. My agent texted me at work today, another agent wanted to make an appointment to show it between 5:30 - 6:30 today. Okay fine, I rearrange my after work schedule so I won't get home until after that.

Got home at 6:30, started unwinding, and the agent and his clients show up. I pulled him aside and asked when the appointment was for, he looks at his form and says "5:30 to 6:30", I ask him what time is it now? He says 6:30 like it's what he meant in the first place. I let him know that isn't what it means when I have to rearrange my schedule, he starts yammering about traffic and stuff. Now he knows I'm angry, but I let them in and explained a few nuances. When he left, he pretty much just threw his card at me.

I feel bad now, and know I need to be flexible, but this isn't the first one to completely miss their "window". I value the opinions expressed around here, so let me have it straight - am I completely wrong to expect "professionals" to be able to keep an appointment at the right time? My agent is always prompt.
