How do you feel when someone is late or you you are the one late? Punctuality

Being late in any appointment is very irritating to the person who make the invitation. Sometimes being late is excusable when the late person have no intention of doing it. Such as when their is an accident along the roads that it is impossible to arrive on the exact times, and creates tremendous traffic or other valid reason. You could easily detect if this person are always making an alibi when he always do it not few times but almost frequently. Then, it is no longer tolerable as this person acquired this habit which only makes him infamous.

No one really likes to wait and the feeling for being late is also not a good feeling. If you are the one waiting and the person never ever call or send text massaging you may be worry as something bad happen to this person or else he got involve in accident or squeeze b traffic along the road. And, if you are the one who are late it is also very ashamed to make an apologize when you really have no intention to be late. Sometimes when you arrive at your appointment you find out the meeting is already finish and much worse you come to an empty room. Also, when the person you are about to meet already left and you wait for him but not also bother to call you, which is really a waste of times on your part and vice versa..

yeah, it is really a matter of respect, if you think of yourself as the latecomers, then it is best to learn to adjust your time and you still arrive at the place ahead of the time given to you by the person who invites. This is the way being late is avoided as constant lateness have effect on every transaction whether for business or for personal use.

Maybe you never really feel excited in going to your others appointment and you feel bored. Whereas in going to social events you feel more excited as it makes you happy and by seeing a lot of friends..Good things you will learn to changes your behavior and may reap the good benefits after the changes..

It is better if they cancel their meeting with you they will says so in advanced that you will no longer wait for them to come and you could cancel it both. Transactions gets affected and your precious times is wasted.

It is alright to tell to the person you are going to be late or rather cancel the appointment in advanced that the person will no longer expect you to proceed with the plan. Me too, I really feel ashamed every time I am late and becomes the center of attention of other people who are already seated keep looking or stop what they are doing to look at you..The important things to remind always the feeling of waiting and the feeling of being late is not a good things and should be avoided at all cost. It is really disappointing to wait and then find out the person you are going to meet have no desire to come. Anybody who experience the things you mention will really feel bad as you do a lot of preparation while the other person involve do not mind being late is not a good habit to maintain.

i like your company is very sensitive to the needs of employees and they allow you too make your own schedules. If that is the cases it is better than keeping late and always narrate your every reason many times to your boss may sometimes takes her patience out. If others could do to arrive in time, you could do so and if you are really low, as some people really acts like this, it is better to adjust your watch at least more than 30 minutes. So that you will never arrive late and instead arrive ahead of the scheduled time.

It is better to think of being the one to arrive first at the appointment time rather than arriving late. Yeah, it is really a good attitude to inform your contacts before hand to cancel the appointment than making an alibi which could easily be detect as lies.

hi koalapenguin, me too, I am always late during high school because I live very far from schools and the penalty for being late is to pick up grasses on the ground before i am allow to get to the classroom. Then, I get tired of doing it and decide to wake up early and never stay long in the bathroom. Others reasons for me for being late, aside from traffic, staying late up at night..I really like to bath for more than one hours and also take me longer to move fast when I am facing the mirror and putting some powder or combing my hair..very vain..indeed...About what happen to you..it is good you got a lot of exercises by the way being late really is a big offenses when you are working and sometimes being late for almost more than 3 times is subject to suspension and in some companies they are very strict about tardiness and worse may even lead to termination..Hopefully, i wish you good luck and as you make you try to changes, you will benefit from it at the end..

It is really very disappointing to see a friend late, then also the first ones to leave. The celebrant may feel or even the one who invites may think this person you invite never get the feel of the joyous occasion or maybe got other reasons, but it is polite if she stays for a moderate time as to see more of the events and chat with friends before she leave..
