Do you hate it when somebody makes you wait?  |
|
 Today I had a fight with my hostel mate. I know I was a little rude, but there is a limit for my patience. Both of us take the same vehicle to office arranged by our hostel. I be ready at the reception area on time everyday. She makes me wait for 5- 10 minutes most of the days. Today, she was talking to her room mate making me wait for her.
Do you think it is fair?
Have you ever faced this kind of problems?

1.  samson1967 (4960) | 4 months ago |  Waiting for 5-10 minutes for a collegue is bearable. If she delays beyond that time, you just tell the driver to start the vehicle and proceed........

 daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | It is bearable for one day, but she does the same almost everyday. If I calculate 10 minutes per day for five days a week. I am wasting almost one hour a week, i.e. four hours a month just by waitng for her. She is not a good friend of mine. I can use the time for a lot of other productive tasks. Thanks for the response. | |

| 2. preethaanju (509) | 4 months ago |  Yes it is most irritating. i have had this experience many times. But i always take revenge on those who do this to me. so that they will understand the pain of waiting. I even stop talking to people who do this for many days. I always try to be punctual. thx I

| 3. ChrysanTflower (1058) | 4 months ago |  If there's good reason, I wouldn't mind. But what I really hate is I don't know what to do while waiting.. Really! I feel silly, try to play with my cellphone and press some button (actually I only look all the menu in my phone) or see other people (but then feel guilty when they look back to me). That's why I don't like waiting! Now I prefer to wait in cafe or restaurant, so I can order a drink or small meal and concentrate on my meal while waiting.
Have you ever talked about this problem to her? I don't think it's fair. She need to consider other people's feeling too (in this case, it's your feeling) who must wait for her..

| daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | I have already told about this to her once. Today I was a little rude. I told her that she is making me wait continuously. I can understand if she gets up late and get ready late, but today she was just talking to her friend in hostel making me wait. She could have considered me waiting and would have talked to her over phone if it is that important. I don't think it was an important conversation. | |
|
|
| ChrysanTflower (1058) | 4 months ago | And what's her answer? Is it acceptable?
Hope she will realize that she has made you in difficult situation (always wait for her).. It's not good in relationship and hope after you talk a little rude to her she will understand and not doing unimportant things while you waiting for her.. | |
|
|
| daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | Truely speaking, I don't think that she understands that she has done a mistake by making me wait for her. She appears as if she is cool and said taht she give me missed call when she gets ready. I don't want to wait for her missed call daily. I am planning my work in such a way that I will be ready on time. Why should I wait for her missed call? | |

|
| daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | All the things I described above happened yesterday. Today, she came on time - I would say before time. I just sat at my room cleaning my toes even if I was ready because I was thinking that girl was going to be late. But, she got into the vehicle first and the driver made a call to me. I was all ready anyway, so I went down in one minute and got into the vehicle. This means she can be on time if she wants. | |

| 5. divkris (763) | 4 months ago |  Awwwe! That was really bad of your hostel mate. Being a little rude and putting your foot down in some situations actually makes you feel confident.
I don't like waiting for anybody in life and may be this is why people term me arrogant! But i like things being a little quicker than normal and i'm very very impatient when i wait for something or someone.

| daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | It is very difficult to take it when your firend does it to you. The girl I mentioned above is not my friend. She just lives in the same hostel where I live and we take the same transportation to office. Thank god, I am not coming back to hostel with her. I can't take it if she makes me wait in the evening also. Thanks for the response. | |

| 7. srganesh (3310) | 4 months ago |  Once in a while,we can understand and adjust.But daily means,she is irresponsible and taking you for granted.No wrong,you fight with her and make her realize you can't be taken in the future.Try to complain to your hostel warden and they too will insist on her to be in time.Anyhow,I too will not tolerate such delays if it is going to happen daily.

| daliaj (2745) | 4 months ago | Thanks fo the response. Yes, you are right, I should not let he take it as granted. She looks like a very innocent and soft spoken girl, but she is doing this to me. It has crossed my patience level now. Yes, I am going to complain to the warden if she is repeating the same. Cheers, Daliaj | |

| 8. Sreekala (1638) | 4 months ago |  Hi daliaj,
Honestly I don’t have much patience to wait for somebody that also on daily basis. I can’t blame you on your anger and it is natural. Please ask your friend politely to get ready in time so that you people can reach in time.

| 9. yogambal_64 (649) | 4 months ago |  Waiting is really boring, I know how irritating it is as I have experienced this many times. I do not mind waiting for 15-20 minutes, but after that I really get wild and as you said I really pounce on the person who made me wait.
