I Don't Like It When People Are Late Stories of Experiences

I find that unless someone has a good excuse, or they are ill, there is no reason for them to late if they have made plans with me, because it shows that they do not respect my time. I could have been doing other things, and yet I have...

This shows my conditioning. The unconscious programming that makes me expect, that when the little hand is at one place and the big hand is at another, the person will show up.I wish the clock inventor had shown up late to work so that...

I have some friends who made me late a lot to classes because we were carpooling. They once made me 20 minutes late. I was so mad. Problem was the one friend didn't even come to class with me...I can not stand it when people are late...

I am late pretty much everywhere I go..I had a "mini" dyslexia test before Christmas...I seem to be okay for this, but do tend to "fit" more for dyspraxia....
I have always had difficulty in being on time, for anywhere, you can forget...

Other than really bad traffic or someone being sick there is no reason for people to be late.More now than ever, there are time pieces everywhere.  If you are not wearing a watch, which you should since they are cheap and easy to get...

 I skipped two classes today (I was actually doing important stuff.) and then I try to go to History and I was late so I didn't bother going cus I knew the professor would kick me out -.-

I don't mind if someone's late with a good excuse. But the ones who are habitually late really irritate me. It's selfish and disrespectful. If you give them suggestions on how to be more on time they won't ever take them. Some people...

I'm have a small dinner party this evening for a few friends. One of them - who's actually normally pretty punctual - has warned me that she might be late because she's watching a sports event on television that might run into extra...

Repeat offenders, and you know who you are, you drive some of us crackers, just so you know.

Please at least try to leave five minutes sooner, then you might actually leave one minute sooner.

i hate when people are late . if you are suppose to be here at for example 330 . be here at 228 .  everywhere i go i try and be like five or ten minutes early . gives me time to relax . walk not run . maybe even go to the...

I live in a country where being late for a meeting or appointment is okay. Being late for 15 to 30 minutes or even longer is acceptable. But not for me. I hate people who are not punctual.
Yesterday, I arranged for an appointment with...

I loathe lateness, because of what it says about the Expected One's attitude to the Waiting One. The longer I am made to wait for someone, the clearer it becomes that the Expected One really doesn't care about my feelings.
My ex wife...

I always try to be on time and usually arrive 10-15 before the set time.  I think it is beyond impolite to expect someone to wait for you, it is just plain rude.

I was raised to believe that less than 10 minutes early is the same as being late, so I have little patience with the chornically tardy.  I understand that life sometimes gets in the way-- everyone has been caught in an unexpected...

I am a very "on time" person. I don't understand why you can't be on time. You know what time you need to be their, so, get your ass in gear.

Nothing pisses me off more than lateness.  I have this one friend who is perpetually late for EVERYTHING.  I can't tell you how many times I've sat in her driveway for 20, 30 minutes waiting for her to get home from the store...

But people don't really seem to care about being polite any more.
I don't understand when people are late, like, what's the point?
I always am very punctual, I don't really like to be too early (except in certain situations: doctor's...

I hate it when people are late.  I am always 15 minutes early for my appointments and when someone keeps me waiting past the time that the appointment is scheduled really irks me. DO NOT MAKE ME WAIT FOR YOU OR ELSE!!!

I do not understand how some people are always, late. If you know when and where whats the problem. It' not the people that run into heavy traffic or constuctionthat bother me , those things are beyound our control.
It's the ones that...

I have a lenience of about 5 - 10 minutes. Anything after and I tend to become somewhat annoyed. My Auntie is usually the last to turn up when we all meet up at a restaurant for a giant family dinner. Mostly 5 or so minutes. Although...
