Chronic late commers are you one of them? I am always early! Why can't you? (53)
I can relate to this...have a gf at least 1/2 hr late if not more. Me...I am usually a couple minutes early but always on time....with her though...I know better that to hang about.....

I am always early or right on time. If I'm late there's a good reason for it, and I usually call then. Yes, those who are chronically late irritate me because I feel it is a disrespectful habit.

Well I always try my best to be on time, but it is a cultural thing you know.
Here in Spain nobody arrives on time. I often wait for friends and other people in a professional situation. There seems to be an allowable flexibility in the arranged meeting time. Professional, 15 minutes max, friends, 20 - 30 minutes.
I hated it initially, but now I´m used to it. It has nothing at all to do with bad manners.

I know some people knowing how their friends are, book a 1/2 hour or hour later than planned.
I wait about 15 like in a restaurant, not there? Bye bye, see you!
This applies of course only to the people who's bad habits you know. The chronic late commers.

I was late every single day for three years at my school apart from one day when I didn't go to sleep and got there two hours too early (AND I got hit for it most days!). Can anyone beat that?
hollandgirl: Is your time more precious than mine?
That's what this thread is about. Chronic late commers
To me, it is showing basic courtesy and respect to the person you're meeting up with.
More often than not, these late comers or no showers are usually the same few people. Have you ever thought, the person waiting for you, could also have spent the time doing more meaningful things than waiting for you?
Actually it shows a lot about the person's character when he is CONSTANTLY late (once or twice is ok one)
so for that matter his image suffers. guys will lose points with the girls when he is late and vice versa... i mean... if i were interested in a girl and she's ALWAYS late.. its kinda a turn off for me... imagine IF next time get together then all the time late... i will die lah!
but what is saddening is when you have a close friend turn out to be a latecomer... very sian feeling one... like disappointed but still...
Oh about time someone actually thinks the same way I do about being early.
Will you educate my friends for me haha, I'm so tempted to give names here :)
YES! I don't like waiting for friends. :mad:
It just gives me a feeling that her time is more precious than mine and i can afford to waste that few minutes (okz, maybe not few minutes.. its like half hour?) to wait for her since my time is not as precious?!

Hallelujah...praise the Lord, Thank-you, Jesus. I t-totally agree. Be on time...or be absent.
One of my ex-wives was always late. I hated to show up at church late. One day I said the next time you are late...I am leaving without you. She called my bluff! I made it to church on time and she was absent! It took about four more episodes for her to get the hint. But I was never late again

If you were in Spain you´d be rather silly and pissed off for waiting around so long!

Hey I am an "import" so have a bit of an excuse. Lol
Okay translated I meant.
When you know the habits of your friends and you say let's meet at 4 o'clock you know, none will show up until 4.30 so you all come at 4.30
