Do you get upset when people are late all the time?

i dont like to being late and I hate late people. if you think that you might be late, just call. Oh my god, you wait for one to two hours? i don't do that, if they are late for 30minutes the first time or an hour; then I might have to tell them to be on time and if they are keep doing that then I would go and let them wonder where you are.

Yes, this drives me nuts! I always try to be on time for events, if not a little bit early, just to make sure that I make it on time. There are some events where being "fashionably late" is acceptable, but those tend to be fairly few and far between for most normal people (i.e., non-celebrities). I've found that ultimately, I just don't really associate with people who don't place value on time. I know that my time is valuable, and waiting around for late people wastes my time.

My brother is habitually late. What can I say, he was born late. Usually up to half an hour late, like clockwork. I always tell people "If you want him there on time, tell him you're meeting half an hour earlier." If you're meeting him for a movie at 7pm, tell him 6:30pm. He'll be there by 7. It's annoying, but in his case it's also funny as hell.

Well, we can always beat them at their own game. For instance, for me and one of my friends, whenever we make appointments, I'll deliberately make the appointment earlier. Sometimes, the result is I'll be there slightly earlier, hence, I don't have to wait too long. Sometimes, I'll deliberately come later to let her wait. That way, she will not know that I know and used some tactics against her. This way, will not hurt our relationship.

Tho i am not a great lover of law & order or authorities and im pretty free spirited, timekeeping is one thing i put great honour into. I hate people being late, tho i do have a few friends which i have accepted they run on a different time to me. Personally i rather be where im suposed to be 10 min early than five min late.

before i was always on time or i see to it that i came ahead of time. but since i experienced being stood up for hours and encounter people who were always late. ive decided to do the same things. i see to it that ill also be late.

A long time ago ( a million years) I had a family of girls who always complained that I was too early, and that they could not get ready on time. Granted, it was just minutes, but these minutes were spent waiting with my own kids on the bus and other students whose pickup time was earlier. I got to where I arrived a little earlier every day for awhile, and also told them that if my three year old and six year old could do it, so could they. They did get better. I probably would do like you and give a little lead time if it was important that they be there.

I dont like to ditch people or let them think i ditched them, so if im runnign late, i call them to give a heads up. I dont like when people are late though, I can deal with a few minutes, but I just get frustrated when other people hold me up. I think anything past 10-15 mins is rude. Id be fine if they called and told me they were gonna run a bit late though.
