Punctuality

[ExLimey]

Goddamn it, it really pisses me off when people are late!

Lets see, you had a 4 pm appointment. You show up at 4:30 pm (we close at 5 pm). It's Wednesday night which means I have to leave at 5 pm to get down to the Club for the race. Needless to say I didn't get to race this week because some inconsiderate ass can't show up on time.

Yeah, I know there's road construction, but I drive through that two to three times a week and it's never taken me 30 minutes extra to get anywhere!!

End of rant...


...for now.

I'd send them on home.

I hate it too. I have little patience for people that can't read a watch and plan out a trip.

Or people that wait until the last minute to put their kids to sleep, making us wait to vacuum.

Don't get me started on people who are late.....I have a good friend who is almost ALWAYS late. She's late when she's coming over, she's late for class, she's late for work. She's a nice girl but it drives me INSANE. I find it disrespectful to be late period. I always tend to be early because I don't want to inconvenience the other person.

In my opinion, people who are *chronically* late think they are more important than everyone else. What really chaps my hide is when someone is late for a meeting and we have to spend time covering info. that's already been hashed to catch the person up to speed. I don't mind if there was a good reason behind it...hasn't happened yet.

I'm chronically late. I inherited it from my mother. If there's a family event, everyone tells her it starts a half-hour earlier than it really does to compensate for her tardiness.

I'm getting better at it, though. Now most of the time I'm late is when I'm going to see friends, who know that when I say "seven o'clock" i mean "sevenish."

Yea.........he/she would.


And you would be surprised at what is under those robes.

One of my good friends' husband is a judge. When he was sworn in we all pitched in on a special pair of black undies for him to wear under his robe. His "Honor", yeah right!

I'm late a lot. Not because I think I'm more important, or my time is worth more, but because I always think it won't take very long to drive somewhere, or I get behind getting the kids ready to go, or a horse suddenly needs stitches in her head. (Which, by the way happened the morning of my Dad's wedding last year, and I was still there before everyone else)

According to Dr. Phil it can be a subconscious thing. And Dr. Phil knows stuff - Just ask Oprah.

lol... Oprah and Dr Phil are gonna save the world.

I'm still trying to figure out if that's a good thing or not.

I'm not usually late, but if you tell me 8:00, chances are very good i'm going to arrive at 8:00 exactly.


If it's something i feel is important, i'll try to be early, but lots of times, i'm still gonna be there at exactly the right time.
