Late 1 time in 44 years. Flat tire.

That’s how I see it as well. My ex-wife was consistently late for everything, and not just 15-20 minutes. Oftentimes an hour or two. Just one of many reasons she is an ex.

I've got a friend is so consistently late I figure it in and just tell him a time 1 hour early. When he's an hour late, he's unknowingly right on time. His issue isn't a control or disrespect thing, it's pure ADHD. He tries to be on time but then a squirrel runs by and distracts him. He's the same with phone calls.

In all my working years I left home in time to get to work 20 minutes early in case there was a traffic jam. Never understood being late.

My first USAF supervisor cured me from being late to work (at the age of 17) by sitting me down and after reading me the riot act, asked me if I had an alarm clock. I responded in the affirmative and then he told me to go to the BX and buy another alarm clock and set it on the other side of the room opposite my regular clock. Have never been late to work since.

I put people like this is the same group as those who say they'll pay you back but you always without exception have to hit them up for the money, usually more than once.

I wait for no one. I walked out of a dental office after I had sat waiting 20 minutes for a cleaning. I was looking for a new dentist anyway.

My sister in law is chronically late to everything. Most of the time arriving to family functions about 30minutes to an hour before they end, then she throws a tantrum because everyone has already eaten and is preparing to leave about the time she shows up. Doesn't matter what time we tell her to be there, she does the same thing every time. I'm generally pretty relaxed about my timing, but if I tell you I'll be there at a certain time, I will be there early or on time.

I had a boss who was consistently late to meetings that he called. Not only controlling but disrespectful to all the staff sitting around waiting on him. I think back about the payroll waste from all the staff waiting on him.

I will deliberately be late for events hosted by certain family members. Will also leave early from those same events. Totally on purpose and because i have no use for them. Do make a token appearance out of respect for other family in attendance - i.e my 91 year old mother.

I always ask my wife if she needs a ride as I'm leaving.

'Sounds bi-polar to me. I've got a sister-in-law that's similar, but usually very early, walking right in to snoop and interfere as much as she can. One son-in-law caught her snooping through mortgage papers in their office at their house at some family function that I can't remember. She's bat-crap crazy. 'Lies about everything.

Wife’s family (Asian) are never, ever on time. I got to where I call it “Vietnamese time.”

No way someone referring to himself as "psycho" could have anyone bi-polar in his family. No way.

I know a couple. Can’t be told what or when to do something.

Everyone in the illegal drug world is always late. Dealers, buyers and informants. We called it doper time.

I have some clients from Nepal that are ALWAYS 10 minutes early or 20 minutes late. Time is a mere concept to them, not an actual thing to be concerned about. I have learned to adapt a bit, but also have gotten to the point where if they are more than 5 minutes late, I actually start cutting that same amount of time from their session. It truly seems to be a cultural thing with the Nepalese. They do not seem to grasp time. Very kind, very considerate people with the exception of being on time for appointments.

I was taught being early is on time, being on time is late, being late gets you fired. I'm usually 10 to 15 minutes early, but if arriving at a business appointment or someone's house, I generally don't walk-in/knock until about 5 minutes before. I don't like people rushing me either, so...yeah.

I once had one in my life….mother of my two sons! I “fired” her and no longer have to deal with self-imposed drama in a spouse….

And Spitfire doesn’t piss away every dime I make before I make it…

Win-Win

Life is way too short to put up with stupid people’s BS drama!

If you’re “on time” then you’re 15 minutes late!

I had a hand like that. He’s someone else’s problem now.

If you ain't early,you're late.

My dad was military and so was I, 8:00 means 7:45 If after 7:45 your late. I don't put up with being late, I'll leave your a*s.

Lombardi time

Had an employee years ago called it “Rock and Roll time”. Grrrrr!

I called in when I had a flat, I busted butt and got there a few minutes early. Fortunately I was heading in early and had some time to spare.
When our guys are late to the yard, we immediately change the schedule to send someone else. When they show up they are told to try again tomorrow.
