We all know them. A friend or someone who no matter when u tell them to turn up, they are always late or just don't turn up.
You know the ones, when your talking to them u know they not listening always seem to be busy with something far more important or cool.
Well they piss me right off, if it's you and u say haha lol that's me. Well let me tell you something your friends won't say to your face.
Your a rude, ignorant, selfish piss face. And the world does not revolve around you.
Please feel free to add your pet hates for people who are always late here.

The ones that piss me off the most are the ones that make me late because I'm waiting for them. I don't mind picking people up on my way to work but have told them now if they not there at right time I'm not waiting any longer. The same as if they want a lift home they either ready when I am or they can make their own way. |

Wow! Have you ever walked in that late persons shoes?? Ever wonder how they manage to juggle everything people pile on them??
Have you ever that maybe their fairly envious of your organised life?
Some people (that includes me) have so many balls in the air (pardon the pun) that sometimes I'm going to be late! And yes I have thought about getting up earlier but that means there wouldn't be much point in me going to bed.  |

Some people ate habitual bad time keepers thats no excuse though if you know you are then you should take ectra measures to avoid being late. We always ask why people are late as at times it can be very irritating. |

I admit time keeping is not one of my strong points but I am not an arrogant, selfish piss face....!!!
My friends accept me for me as I do them, faults and all ~ they simply tell me an earlier time to meet, works perfectly. |

We all busy and have busy lives, with work family life and so on. We both work full time and have kids, and grandkids unwell parents who need looking after, house maintenance and personal matters so we all understand what it is to be busy.
We are busy people both work 50+hrs a week.
But we always aim to arrive wherever we go at least 15mins early. Even if it's popping to our sons for a cuppa. |

I never expect anyone to wait for me if I am late.
Work wise I don't offer lifts for the same reason. |

I'm not always late lol
On the flip side tho I have a friend who gets herself so stressed out, drives like a mad woman just to get somewhere on time ~ which I find bizarre.
Would rather arrive late than not arrive at all...!!! |

Lateness really makes me mad. I have a lot to sort before I can go anywhere, but am always on time, usually way early.
Only time I'd be late would be down to something way out of my control. |

You wouldn't be my friend for long because when you eventually decide to turn up I would have left. Why do you presume your time is more important than any others ? |

I think the wording is a bit strong, but I have to say I agree, been late now and again is ok life does sometimes get in the way, but there are people who are always always late no matter what it is, and I find it disrespectful to the person there meeting, it shows so little respect to to be late all the time, it really does make me angry, I will give people 10 minutes, or if I'm a pub until I've finished my drink then I'm gone |

Also what makes it even worse is they never ever ring you to tell you there going to be late, nobody is too busy for a quick 30 second phone call or a quick text, it's so rude it really does annoy me |

"im the annoying one thats like 45mins early that ends up loitering around.. "
I am always always always early, I don't think I've ever been late for anything in my life, I really think punctuality is massively important |

I did and was early and had to wait. Didn't really like that. |

Maybe i need to clarify things
For meets i'd never be late and even if i was being a bit late i'd inform them of it. I think that's a bit rude when you arrange to meet someone at a certain time and either of you are late.
Now, those who've met me at socials know i turn up a bit later than when it all starts. Now, i hope that doesn't reflect bad on me. But, to be honest - i'm just not comfortable arriving early and being the only one there (which may not be the case). I mean i rarely see people's face pics and i don't really know everyone. So, i wouldn't know who's coming or going. Not sure if all that makes sense.
I know all of that is an area of improvement on my part. Hence, my name is down at all these socials to build my confidence up amongst crowds that i don't know or haven't met/spoken to before.
But, if it was me turning up for a meet or anything specific where we agreed a time to be there. Then i'd be there if not earlier. I think that's a whole different ball game.
Hope that clarifies things.

That's fine, if you say your going to a social then turning up when you want is acceptable, if you say I'll be at the social at 8 and turn up at 9 then that isn't acceptable, |

If you have a friend who you want to see who is always late, why not turn up 10 minutes late or whatever instead of turning up on time and getting annoyed?
You can only control your actions and not those of others.

Definately. If you're going to set a time and people are expecting you to be there at that time and you're not there. Then that's not on.
So, for socials i really can't give a time. There's always something that comes up or something to do beforehand. And i don't like rushing for things.

Because then your not meeting at the specified time, you might aswell just say I'll see you there whenever we can all be arsed to turn up,
Plus I give my friends a hard time about been late that most are now on time, so if I was ever late i'd get a right licking lol

I know what you mean but it's give and take. Some things are out of your control and you can only do your best. When they are late I don't complain or feel hard done by and it's the same back.
I don't know, maybe I'm just a bit too laid back. |

I don't mind people being a bit late on the odd occasion and if they let you know, but when you're constantly being left waiting every time for a ages it takes the biscuit |

Do the people who have an issue actually tell their friends how much it annoys them? And if they haven't how do you expect them to act on it? And if you have, and they ignore it do you value the friendship above the lack of respect?
Friendship is about give and take, I'm pretty sure everyone has traits that irritates their friends. |

Yes I have told them how it annoys me and how I think it's disrespectful of them, some accept it and continue to be late, so I have stopped going drinking with the ones that are late, as people have said you can only control your own actions so to prevent me getting annoyed I don't arrange to meet them,
Now if we are out and bump into them I'll chat and even buy them a beer they are still a friend just not one I arrange to meet anymore |

Yes it's all about taking control of your own actions and how much you value someone's friendship
My real friends know what I am like & I am thankful that they make allowances for this side of me like I do with their annoying little traits.
I'm very punctual for work meetings, flight reservations, school pick ups etc so I think when meeting socially I can afford to be a little more laid back.

Yes that's your _iew and you've taken the appropriate action.
I respect & treasure the friendships I have in a lot different ways and to me there's a whole lot more to a person / friendship than one 'annoying 'trait.

I'm with you on this Fabio. No matter what time I leave or plan to leave half the time I will be late. But if my friends dropped me for that then I wouldn't miss them. There is a hell of a lot more to a friendship than punctuality ffs! I am there for my friends no matter what time of day or night they call, if they need to talk or for me to come around and give a shoulder to cry on, to look after them when they are ill, to mind their kids or pets, to drive them around if they haven't got transport. To go out and have a laugh, stay in and have a laugh. These are the important things in a friendship, not punctuality. |

My friends are lovely and honestly have no problem with me being late for things....but then I'm only friends with laid back people like me so I guess it works. |

"I have a confession to make....
My name is _abio... And I am that person!!!
I run my life on BPT (black peoples time) there are people who will know exactly what I mean... I am guessing a lot of folk in the south
I get there.. Eventually.... At my own pace..... Fashionably late!
Forgive me!!!
I'm with you on this Fabio. No matter what time I leave or plan to leave half the time I will be late. But if my friends dropped me for that then I wouldn't miss them.

"Also what makes it even worse is they never ever ring you to tell you there going to be late, nobody is too busy for a quick 30 second phone call or a quick text, it's so rude it really does annoy me
Difficult when driving "
Its difficult to pull up for 30 seconds, also if your late while driving chances are you set off late so should of text before you set off its not difficult at all |

Your right there is more to friendship than that, but if it's every single time you arrange something then it becomes more than a little annoying, especially if your left sat in a pub on your own like a billy no mates,

Yep, I know exactly what you mean which is why if I set a time, for some, I'll tell them I mean "white time" and not "ethnic time".
Persistent lateness means I don't bother waiting and when the inevitable call/text comes through asking where I am I tell them I'm either wherever we were planning to go or gone home and not coming back out. |

Someone who is persistently late is basically saying that their time is more important than yours and is acting in a pretty selfish way. I find it most irritating. |

i find people making demands of me and insisting that their way is the only way and don't make accommodations for others rather boorish if i am honest. who says you get to make up all the rules of engagement in a friendship? |
