Griefing - How is this acceptable?

[Xenor]

Ya, it's almost impossible to run with pugs since there's a good chance someone will get upset or embarrassed by something they did and instead of owning up to it/getting better they'll instead refuse to continue. In situations like those what do you do? Sit there until someone, if anyone leaves? Be the bigger person and leave yourself and then sit around and wait out the 15 minute timer?

The timer would run out before I left in such a situation. Plenty things I can be doing around the house while waiting for the griefer to leave.
