Why Some Can't Value Time?

The next time you make an appointment with this person, YOU show up an hour late! Make him wait for you, so he will know how it feels. And if he's not there when you arrive, then you will have gotten your message through, loud and clear.

I would just call that person self centered and try not to make very much time for them. I could see if it happened once or twice, but you sound as though it has happened a lot. That is not someone you need in your life.

I hate when people are late and I am one of those people that if i saw i will meet someone at 3, i am usually there even 10 minutes before. I am always at work in good time and I hate to stress. i am rather there before I start so that I can take a breath before i have to start my stressful day. My bf is one of those people who thinks that he has ALOT of time and therefor always ends up late although he has been better at it lately since he knows how angry i get =)

I truly 100% support your hatred. I encountered this situation before and in fact I take my revenge against him. The story goes like this, we supposed to meet at 5pm for a game of badminton, my friend came a hour later. So, I confronted him asking why is he late for every appointments? I find his reasons are ridiculous such as I need to go back to office to do something. I reply Hello! today is Sunday and it is a non-working day, what is the purpose that you go back to office? He said nothing. After a few weeks, he organized to watch a movie so I agreed to it but then I didn't go because I want to let him know the taste of letting people wait for nothing. I hate late-comers too!

ah well, i'm probably the only person here that's always late. haha. Not that i'm proud of my being late but i've learned through the years that when you're early or on time, everybody else is late or at least one is and everybody has to wait for that person. So when that usually happened i saw no point to come early anymore. =) But i can be on time if i wanted to (or if it's really important), otherwise i am quite late. Haha.

I also hate late comers but sometimes we have to consider the reason of being late. If a person is late because he has no sense of the value of time, It would really pissed me off but if there is a valid reason like some emergencies that had come up on his way that is why he is late? I can consider that. But if is is just plain laziness and irresponsibility? I would really take the matter into action.

I hate late comers as well but most of the people in our country does that. I'm not one of those late comers, I usually arrive earlier or exactly on time. It's really annoying, your wasting your time waiting caused by their delay.

No one likes the LATE COMERS. But some of my friends try to make intentional delay to show how important/busy they are in their real life. I've never been late to attend a meeting. In this context I follow the golden rule" If you reach before five minutes, you are late by ten". I try to attend meeting well in advance.

well my boy friend too gets annoyed because i am never on time but then too he doesnt says anything since he doesnt wanna spoil the day or waste the time quarreling on such stupid things, i am aware that i am at fault since its my fault that i am late so i try my level best to be on time so that he doesn have to wait for me
