Chronically Late

Nothing pushes my buttons worse than people who are chronically late and my mother and my best friend are like that. They run on their own time which is anywhere from 10min to an hour late. It's so bad that I tell them to show up 15min before they really need to show up so they'll be closer to on time.

I was taught as a child in school- to be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late and to be late is unacceptable. And it's true. Being late is rude. Really, really rude and disrespectful to the person you are comitting to.

My mother and 2 sisters were supposed to show up at my house 32 minutes ago to pick me up to then go get my father and spend a nice evening and afternoon together. Well that is now shot to hell. She's incredibly late, I'm incredibly upset and I don't even want to go anymore. I got all ready, put my dogs away 10min before she was supposed to show up and now 40min later she's still not here and when I call her cell to find out when exactly she's showing up she tells me I'm nagging and she doesn't know when she'll be here she's almost done with what she's doing. Really, she's the one who told me she'd be here at 2:30pm in the 1st place! She's the one who set that time, so she should be here on time! Now N is all upset and screaming in his crate, it's giving me a headache. J knows I'm upset. My father called trying to find out if I'd been picked up yet, I got all upset on the phone with him.

I hate people who are chronically late! It's just plain rude to do so!
