Only VIPs can be late, that's for sure. As far as possible, I never try to be late unless I know the person has a habit of being late. The times when I am late are when I missed the bus and have to wait more than 15 mins for another bus, or when I am caught in unexpected jams. I will let my appointment know that I will be late unless I am sure I can arrive within 5 minutes of appointed time.

I don't like being late to anything period and I also don't like to keep others waiting. I try to plan things ahead of time and get to places at least 20-30 mins beforehand. Of course things can happen unexpectedly which is why I always allow some time before the actual time I'm suppose to be at a certain place. When my son and I travelled by train to New Haven this past week, because it was our first time using the Amtrak train and travel out of Virginia, we got to Union Station an hour and a half before we were due to board the train. I made sure we were not rushing to get there, took into account rush hour on the public trains and if anything unexpected happened, then at least we still would of had ample time to catch our train. I feel so much better when I have a lot of time ahead of me.

hi karvin, personally speaking, i hardly get late and donot want anyone to wait for me just as the way i wouldnot want someone standing me up. i hate being stood up. i reach office before time, maintain perfect schedule and return in time. you have mentioned an interesting point. i have noticed that ppl kind of think they are big shots if they donot maintain time. i work in a hospital and see so many doctors doing exactly that just to make others feet their presence. i just pity the patients. thank you.

I don't wanna be late important matter or not. I hate people reasoning they are late because of traffic. You know traffic why you come early. I'm not among them your presence at time is very important to discipline yourself especially if your working.

i always hate it when people doesn't value time and come late for appointment... because i always been taught by my father since i am young that it is better to be early than late and it is better to wait for other people than making people wait for me... it is kind of disrespectful... and i carry that lesson until now... i always try to be early for everything (appointment, work) unless something unexoected happen... and i always give extra time for my travelling time... and if i am going to be late, i will definitely make a phone call to let them know so that they wouldn't be worry or have to wait too long for me...

No I dont like when people are late and keep me waiting. I think its rude and I dont tolerate it. If your going to late always call to let the other person know. So your not waiting and wondering.

Hi Karvin, Oh no I hate being late, when I have to go some where I like to be on time and not leave my family and friends waiting for me, if I am going to be late I will always call them so that they know exactly what is going on and how long I will be.

No. I believe in punctuality as much as possible. I try to be on time or early for my appointments always. I hate if when people make me wait. It is quite rude. My time is no less precious than theirs.

Mmm,I am impatient to wait for people.I don't like the feeling when I waiting for someone.If I cannot reach place in time,I will call my friends and tell them when I will arrive at there.I always reach place five minutes before the promised time.I think I should get there in time.But some of my friends don't believe in time,so sometimes I have to wait for them.I don't like this.

i do try to be punctual, because i don't like to keep ppl waiting, just as much as i don't like to wait for people! i do believe that you should be on time, unless there's something unavoidable, and let people know if you are going to be late so that they know.

I always end up late by atleast 5 min. NO matter how important i cannot make myself get ready just before 15 min of the appointment time. Now i think it has become a habit...:(

I try to never make people wait. time is too valuable and precious to spend sitting around waiting for someone. I try to either be always on time or early. If I am going to be late, I will call and let the person know that is waiting for me. I tell them to not wait for me if they have other things to do. I get very impatient waiting for other people, especially when they never call and give me an update as to why they are late or when they will actually be here.
