She is late again... how many times

I deal with this often so I understand how you feel. Normally people who do that are inconsiderate. Your friend should of called if she was running late instead of you having to call her.

Ah, well.. I could say something here about the man I work for, but I will resist that temptation. Timeliness is very nice. I guess you might call it a virtue.

Well, it would seem best to try to do the dinner thing from now on since she tends to be that late with it. I have been late on a many occasions but most times it can't be helped but I try to get things going so I can try to be on time or close to it. I do hope that maybe things will go smoother if the time is late enough so that most the day is taken care of and she can be on time or close to on time.

I would stop making the play dates or have a plan B. I would tell her, sorry, we waited and no that time is not good for us. call when you can actually be here for a play date and we will schedule something. If they do not show or call within 30 minutes, leave. Maybe they will learn not to be so rude.

That would make me so mad. I do not think I would make plans like that again with her if she is going to do that every time. She should make it on time or call in advance. That would get old quick.

I think we all know someone like that. In my life it is my older sister. She is constantly running behind. I sometimes joke that if you want her to be somewhere on time lie to her about the time. If you want to meet at noon, say you want to meet at 11 am. Chances are she will still be late.

I feel so bad that you have to delay the lunch prepared for your friend when you are prepared for it. I think that it is not a good habit not to tell the host or hostess if one cannot make it for the lunch or dinner in advance. If I were you, I would also feel very upset as I had already spent my time and energy and money for it. I wish your friend would not have this problem of being late again. Cheer up, ersmommy.

after a couple times someone is late, i figure they are just one of those people who don't respect other people's time. if i'm ever late, i make sure and call as soon as i know that i'll be late. some people are loosey-goosey about being on time, but i see it as a huge sign of disrespect. why would you keep someone waiting who is doing something nice for you? that's so rude!
