Am I just old
Or is it really rude to be more than 5/10 mins late for no real reason
Having known about the date and time for over a week
( he says sat in car par for over 25 mins waiting ) |

Rude. Habitual lateness annoys the hell out of me.
If there's a reason obviously that's different but people who think their time is more important than mine get only wick.
You've got me started now. I also really dislike being invited to a meeting in a work context then being kept waiting by the person who set the meeting up. |

Depends. Late to an RV in whilst on the military, possibly deadly.
Late when meeting an old friend because you overslept isn’t the end of the world.
For a date? I wouldn’t get that upset. Worse things happen at sea. |

I’m always late, I really can’t seem to get the timings right. I’m never late for work though as can’t miss a flight. I’ve had 3 dates in the last 3 weeks and I was 10-20 mins late for 2 of them. I did get an uber for 2 and that took much longer than expected. I’m terrible I know. My mum is the same. I blame her, haha. |

Depends how long they've travelled to meet you. 20 mins on a two hour drive isn't late, if you're meeting a local on your lunch break at work then 20 minutes is a pain in the arse..... |

My last meet was an hour late, but she kept me updated which was appreciated. Sometimes things conspire against you and can't be helped.
She was definately worth the wait  |

Without being told about lateness in advance, 5 to 10 mins is about right for lateness. Not being told is rude. |

Isn't all about communication. If you are going to be late at least have the decency to tell the other person(s) that you are running late. It's a case of treating others how you would expected to be treated yourself. |
