My sister is always 'fashionably late'-up to 2 hours late-which when you are arriving at an airport and depending on her for a ride can be frustrating.
My SIL has made dinner that had to be put on hold until sister got there. SIL finally told sister that the time was an hour earlier than scheduled so she was not more than 30 minutes late. Frankly I feel that sister is inconsiderate and feels that the world should revolve around her. I do not cater to her and if the meal or event is scheduled for x hour then it is started at x hour and she can play catch up when she decided to make an appearance. |

I'm another one that hates to be late. I'm not usually. I tend to give myself a solid 10-15 min extra to get somewhere particularly if there is 1) specified appointment time; 2) not exactly sure where I'm going; 3) heavy traffic time of day. And I get extremely frustrated by those friends/family that are habitually late. We had a situation over the weekend where the same group of friends were late to 2 different events on the same day! The first was just brunch so it really wasn't too big a deal except the balance of the group was waiting for almost 40 minutes with no phone call. The second instance was that we all needed to meet up with another group of people at a specified time. The 'late arrivals' showed up 20 minutes late for departure. DH was driving to the meet up location, speeding of course as we were now late, and was pulled over by the local police. Fortunately there were no tickets issued. But can someone please explain to me why I should be subjected to a speeding ticket to make up for someone else's tardiness so that I can be on time???? Sorry for the rant but I had to vent about this one!

Sounds like you were just getting warmed up to enjoy a day at home. Even with a 4 hour lead time, who wants to go to work or a medical test/procedure! When I still worked, I had every clock in the house set 10-15 minutes early. Sounds stupid but it helped a bit. I read somewhere where people who are habitually late have control issues. One thing I do believe is the more time I have, the more time I waste.

I have decided that my reason for being late is my mother's fault. I was born almost two weeks late so I don't think I can ever be on time ow! Lol!!! :D

Being late all the time is a form of arrogance. The person who is late is very inconsiderate of the ones who are waiting. When someone told me this I saw it had a ring of truth and made up my mind not to be late anymore and I'm not. I used to be late all the time and stress my husband greatly. Actually I was stressed by being late too.

4 a.m. = insomnia. Trust me, I'm not awake at 4 a.m. by choice. LOL Some nights I wake up at midnight. Some nights it's 1-3 a.m. and so on. If I wake up at 4 I may or may not be able to sleep again before I'm up for the day.

My son and family are almost always an hour late. But then to keep me on my toes, they arrive an hour too early. They never arrive on time!

If I wake up late, I can always get where I am going on time. It is when I wake up early and do this and that and then it is past time to get ready and I am late. I hate when that happens but it is because I have excess time and start things instead of getting ready. Lately, I have tried to get ready first and then set the kitchen timer so all I have to do is walk out when it goes off. It works if I do it. ;)

Perhaps you suffer from the same disease as my VBF. It's commonly referred to as OMT disease.
It seems my friend always starts out with good intentions but somehow thinks she can do One More Thing (OMT) before she leaves so she's almost always late for everything by 5 to 15 minutes (or more)! |
