    Only if they're driving an ambulance.

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

    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.

    Triassic, Jurassic or Cretaceous?

    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.

    i really dont want to get into a conversation about a t-rex's menstrual cycle:D

    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.

    Are Germans always on time or something?

    As me pappy once said, if you're late i'll rape you with a lamppost!

    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?

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,744 ✭✭✭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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭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!!!!!!!!!!
