Why are some people always late?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

I mean oblivious to time late... off by 3 or 4 time zones late...

And then THEY're mad at YOU like YOU invented planetary rotation.

1. they're selfish and thoughtless

sorry. but you asked.

[NV Whino]

2. Typical passive-agressive behavior

Really, REALLY annoying.

3. I am chronically on time

or early, never late, never. I don't wear a watch but I must have some sort of an internal clock. My parents were the same way so I think that's where I got it. My dad used to say that being on time was a sign that you respected the value of other peoples' time.

6. I am always early or on time too

although there's nothing internal about it for me, I rely on more than one alarm clock LOL :hi:

4. because the seek attention by making an entrance, it's also rude and disrespectful.

My sister is an excellent example and every time she does i always remind her that everything really isn't all about her.

5. disrespecful and selfish

you might as well waste my money as waste my time - I despise people who are chronically late - their assumption is their time is more valuable than others and that makes them a disgrace

[Nikia]

7. I think that for some people that it is a personal problem

That isn't anything intentional.
If you have friends or family that you make plans with who are chronically late, tell them an earlier time. My grandmother does that with family dinners and such. She also tells people who are chronically early a later time. It usually works.

8. I'm always always always late - unless they matter to me.

I have not been on time to work in over a year (got within 8 minutes on Thursday but that's pretty unusual). But I'm never late for my friends. It's really all about motivation.
