and how soon is now?
When someone says that they will be there soon how long would you expect them to be and when would you get a bit peed off.
Like when I tell the Mr I will be ready in a sec, what I really mean is about half an hour and he's standing in the hallway with his jacket on. 
Have a great day all.  |

"Did anyone else start singing?

How can you say
You go about things the right way
I am human and I need to be loved
Just, like, everbody else does..  "
First thing that popped into my head.  |

"I usually give a time I will be ready so do my friends"
In an Ideal world it may work, not in mine though I can't give the Mr an exact time, it would make it worse, as I'm probably going to be late. |

"Soon? No more than twenty minutes.
Ideally less than ten.
Why not just say I'll be half a hour, OP, I want to faff around a bit first. "
Can't commit to that, being 38 my face is very unpredictable. |

I have hate keeping people waiting so always will be on time unless dire emergency. On flip side I hate waiting if 10 minutes or so passes of waiting for someone and I hear nothing by text saying I’ll be late I’ll usually just leave |

"As the Welsh say "I'll be there now in a minute" your guess is as good as mine as to the duration of time that will pass until they are there  "
Same with West Country folk and "dreckly".
Could be a minute, could be ten, could be 6 years... |

Once we're past 8" it gets risky for sure.
Um, I tend to edit my idea of how long is too long and what's just a minute by the person I'm dealing with. Once I know to expect someone's just a minute as 2 minutes or an hour and a half I don't mind. |
