Perhaps you attracted the experience because that is the nature of your job? You may have attracted this experience to affirm the way by which you want to handle yourself. That is, if you really do not know your client personally and that the irritation he caused you was professional. I'm thinking more on the level of "growth". What if the inner magnet was meant for you to grow professionally, or to learn how to go through the same experience without as much stress, and without causing more?
Me and some of my friends have this in-joke that differentiates "hang ups" with "issues". Webster may not agree, but it works for us, somehow. Almost all of us have issues. The mere fact that we work to survive is an issue that gives rise to more. It is just a rocky path. To me and my friends, though, "hang ups" is when we add posturing to these issues. It's like dressing up the issue, decorating it, orchestrating it and, worst of all, keeping it and letting it hang up there. What is more amazing is the way we have an easier time doing this to other people's issues. We decided that we have more control of the hang ups.
I have used mirroring so many times to either reflect or correct myself, and not at all times I'd see exactly the same thing as another mirror would show. We are multi-faceted. The self gets confusing. A lot of times I would attract an opposite, if not somebody who reminds me of my past and therefore potentially paves the way for me to make peace with a former self. I may also attract several "options". A friend once asked me a good question, "Is it a sign or is it a test?" In this kind of situation, it seems that I am called to know and keep in touch with myself better. But even more interesting are those that I attract to experience and put to practice only those things that I have settled by rational thought.
"The world that we have made as a result of the level
of thinking that we have done so far, has created
problems we cannot solve at the level of thinking at
which we created them... We shall require a
substantially new manner of thinking if humankind is
to survive."
- Albert Einstein
