People that are always late

hunter164

Do they piss you off?

AnonoBoy

Only if they're driving an ambulance.

Maximilian

I'm always late. People who are on time or early are mother****ers and can suck my balls.

ejmaztec

Kerry people are always late and seem to think that showing up a couple of weeks late is close enough. They're usually a day early for money though.

Yes they do, better to be an hour early than a minute late I was always told.

It's OK if you are meeting in a group, but people who are consistently late for one on one meetings are dicks. If I knew somebody that was consistently late, I'd stand them up and switch off the phone. No excuse. It's just rude.

It attracts bears I've heard...which is weird considering bears didnt even exist back then. Thats how awesome the T-Rex's period was, it could summon non-existing creatures!!!

Lateness is the bedrock of our cultural identity. I despise germanic time keeping.

We call them full stops on this side of the pond.

Some wimins get upset when you always come first though.

Repeat latecomers are inconsiderate pricks because they're wasting more than just their own time.

And Bedrock is where Fred and Wilma live with the menstruating dinosaurs.That all tied up lovely didn't it?

nyarlothothep

I am always punctual. Public transport is frequently late. This is bad.

funk-you

I'm always late, probably because i'm selfish and really don't care. You're all only here for my entertainment anyway....now dance!

Ooh, sounds like someone is on time this month.

Being late is like wearing a sticker saying "I'm too stupid to organise my life".

Or you could always get a sticker that says "I'm late because I spent a few extra minutes organizing slightly more important things in my life, like Yore Ma"?

i think its the height (depth?) of rudeness when someone is late. it's just plain ignorant. if i tell someome i'll meet them at 5pm, i will there at 4.50pm. i dont expect them to be there at 4.50 but i do expect them to be there at 5pm.

their time is not more important than mine, and i am not some saddo who is happy to waste my time waiting for someone else

Turn up at 5 then.

truecrippler

I fuppin hate them. Missed many good nights because I've waited for them.

Me: "There's a bus in 20 mins, be there in five just in case".

Him/Them: "Grand yeah, lovely, will do".

25 mins later, he/they turn up with a big stupid smile on their face/s.

Me: "You've done it again, I'm going fcuking home".


Really annoying!!!!!!!!!!

it doesnt remotely bother me that im early, id rather be early than late. but it bugs me so much when someone saunters up late, not a care in the world

Mushy

Knew a lad in school, lived bout 5 minute walk up the road from the place, showed up late, say, 100% of the time. All I could say was "Here's Mr. X, fashionably late again". I'm fully sure some people arrive late so attention is drawn to them...tools.

Although as someone saia bit back, bout being late and culture...thats quite true. I tell people I'll be off the bus in ten mins, come pick me up, so they arrive bout 5 minutes after that. Crazy...and annoying.

Your signature is the best god darn signature in the world.:pac::pac:

People who are late get on my WICK!!

If I can make the effort to be on time, why can't you?

It's my biggest pet peeve. I actually think it's pretty disrespectful to keep someone waiting just cos you couldn't be arsed to be on time.

xOxSinéadxOx

the time-keeping in european countries is crazy. used to always miss the train cos it was on time :pac:

Yore ma claims to be late every month, it still catches me out every time.

you speak da truth.

Took me years to claim victory over my old school, stick in the mud boss. Through the threats, the verbal warnings, the written warnings, I held my ground. A good tactic was to come in later the following day. Finally, he caved. Now, I saunter in at whatever time I like! Victoray.

I do try to make it before 10 though (but don't always manage it). Don't want to take the piss.

So you have to wait an extra 5 minutes for a free lift home? Life is hard.

Manual abortion? Good God sir, you are disguisting.

The reason my gf was late was because he clothes were all wrinkley because they were on the floor and she had to iron them so I got her a wire coat hanger so she can hang them up...

Sheesh, some poeple :rolleyes:

time is relative - there is no such thing as lateness..

peanuthead

I can stand people who are late for things. Its not that I hate them for being late, I hate them for being cool and having better things to do.

Ever wonder if your "mates" are thinking:
"right, that's Johnny-Let's-Synchronise-Watches gone home in a huff, lets go chill out"

Ya, her mouth you just ruined the new curtains.

I've only recently done my first full 40 hours at my job. 10 years it took me.

Meeting friends is one thing but I wouldn't break me back to get to work early. But I am always late to everything.

DonalN

I was late for a meeting coz I was reading this thread.
