do you have a bad habit of coming late to your appointment, date, or any event? are you aware that some people annoyed with you because of this? do you make some action of reformation or you can't help it because it is already in your system? I am always irritated with people like that especially if they are 1 hour late. Well 5 to 10 minutes is tolerable. But if you are catching important and yet still trapped with a current appointment that haven't yet started, isn't it irritating?

I'm a time-conscious person and always do my best not to be late for any event. It irritates me when I'm kept waiting for a long time, especially when the other side is not necessarily held back by something urgent. Some people just take a very casual attitude towards time and think it no big deal to keep others waiting. When I go to an appointment, I always arrive at the place ten minutes earlier. I don't want to leave an unfavorable impression on others.

Sometimes it is unavoidable. But it has never become a habit for me. I always make sure I leave early to beat the traffic so I can still make it for my appointment on time. There are just times when something unpredicted happens that even leaving early get me there late.

i never been late in any of my appointment even in personal date. i always go on time. i just hate those who didnt bother or give importance with the time trying to be important. i used to have date before with a guy, we talk about the time and on that day i texted him if its sure and if the time is fixed and he said yes. and so i went there and waited for almost an hour and then he came, so what i did i just say hi to him and decided to go home, when he asked me why, i just told him i have no time to continue dating him if he doesnt know the importance of time besides im a girl and im the one who waited for him that long instead of him. he supposed to be professional enough and i hate those unprofessional. its always happened here in my country and we called it filipino time, like if theres a meeting or appointment by 8am then expect them to come by 9 or 10. thats why if theres a meeting by 8am then tell them that meeting will start at 6 or 7am so by 8am every one is already there.

As far as I am concerned, I think I am not a person who usually late for the important meeting or some important things in my life. BUt usually I willl just be there on time,which I think will be OK for me to save a lot of time at home or in some other place. For the person who usually late so long to the meeting or something else, I think I may hate them so deeply ,too.

hell0 there! no, I have the bad habit of coming just on time or mostly a little bit earlier so that can be on time for the appointment and no body wait for me. but my friends mostly have that "nice" habit to be late and I am always so "happy" about it

I always like to be on time for my appointments. Sometimes my husband makes me late for visits with my family because he doesn't like them much. Sometimes I'm late for church too, but usually I arrive close to on time.

Hi adeena, yes I agree with your opinion. when I was studying schools which were depend on on time. we got time punctuality at our schools. If I was late go to school. I was punished after next I went to right time. we have to learn our children time punctuality.
