When you have an appointment, do you meet her/him late?

i try as much as possible not to be late and really arrive on time, but sometimes i really get late..hehehe i hate waiting but sometimes i cant just help arriving 5 to ten minues late for my appointments!hehe well, it really depends, when it's my friends that i am meeting, it's alright for me if i meet them qute late, but if it's business or work related, i see to it that i arrive on time!

There is no point in giving an appointment to anybody if we are not able to keep it. Its just the basic function of an appointment is to see when are free and accommodate the person for that slot. So if we are not free why give an appointment in the first place. And in case if we get busy after giving the appointment I guess we must inform them well in advance and make alternative arrangements for the person :)

I always make it to the point that I arrive early before the call time. I feel uncomfortable throughout the conversation if I arrive late and if I allow the other party to wait. Its very impolite to arrive late and that is my practice at all time. I will do my best to attend to what was agreed and if ever there are unavoidable circumstance I make sure to inform. Its better to be the one who wait than to be waited... And I agree with you with two thumbs up... Have a nice day!!!!

I know the feeling but when I got appointments,I never cancel it and no matter how late I am,I will come and some people that who knows me well knows how I deal well when I come late..Actually,I am teaching music to some kids and I got some appointment to day and sadly I am late for two hours because I need to pay for the bill of my computer or else they will not connect it and reconnect it after 24 hours so my time was really not enough..What happen is that they called me and ask me If I will still come and I told them I will for sure because I don't want cancellation..:-0 I know how bad to cancel some appointments and I myself experience that and yeah I felt upset but anyway there are lots of reasons why some people cancel it..:-0 God bless and have a nice day..:-0

hi, I do try to be on time as I dont like to keep people waiting, I would rather be early than late!! hugs Jessica

I try every effort to be on time as much as possible. Sometimes things happen that delay me but if I say that I will be there I usually will. If I can not make an appointment I will call to let you know why I can not come

I prefer to be on time. I hate late comers. It irritates me when someone comes late for an appointment. For me its a lack of respect to arrive late for an appointment

Hi! I used to be late for appointments because I am a bit obsessive-compulsive, so I couldn't leave the house without checking if everything is in order. I learned a hard lesson, though, because one time, I missed out on a very important opportunity and I regretted it. After that, I was never late for appointments and even for work. I declare that it is very important to be punctual. We don't want to wait, so why make people wait? We could lose friends, our job, and even great opportunities if we're not punctual. Happy myLotting!

Yes, I think I am like you in that I always go early to appointments. That way if there is a problem with traffic or some mix-up, I will not be late. It makes me highly uncomfortable to know that someone is having to wait for me.

I have been late one or twice when it was unavoidable but I prefer to get their early. I really hate being late. I would rather get there early and have time to relax as I stress if I am running late and that is not good. If I cannot make it then I cancel it well in advance.

Hi robert! I agree with you. I rather be on time or a bit early then late. I don't like to be late for my appointments. I get all stressed out if I am running late. I try so hard to be on time. I don't always make it because I take public transportation the busses are not always running on schedule and alot of times it isn't my fault but I get upset when I am running late. I try to leave enough time in case something does happen. It is rude to keep someone waiting and I don't like when it is done to me so I try very hard not to do it to anyone else.

Hi there! I hate to say it, but I've been always late to my appointment. It's good that you and your kids are doing that and always punctual. keep it up. I'll do my best not to be late anymore. As of now I'm home bound and have no appointments lately. Have a nice day!!

If i have an appointment i make sure that i came on time or much better earlier on the agreed time. Its better to be early that be late. Its so shameful to keep someone waiting for you for an hour or lets say 30 minutes. I dont let anybody wait for me so i dont want to wait also. Im a person who is very specific on time.

I'm a very very particular about punctuality. I hate waiting and making people wait for me. I also go atleast 5 mins b4 to the destined place when I fix appointment for meeting someone. I'll not wait for more then 10 mins if the person does not turn up on time :)

I am never late for an appointment, and I don't like it when others are late for appointments with me, either. I think it is important for people to respect eachother and be punctual. If something comes up then it is the duty of the party that will be late, to contact the other with an explanation.

Hello, Robert! Whenever I have an appointment with somebody, I arrive there on time. Usually, half an hour sooner. I don't like to leave others waiting. If I told the person that I am going to be there by 13:00, then I am going to change all my schedule and get there at 13:00. If some emergency happens, I will call and inform the person that I will arrive later or that I won't be able to be there. Some people really get late. I have made appointments with people who used to get always 30 minutes later. So, I get half an hour sooner and have to wait for an hour until the person appears. It just sucks. I'm a patient person, though, so I don't get way too pissed. I just don't like wasting time at all. Respectfully, Munhozmib.

I do the same. I don't like to be kept waiting for nothing thus I respect the person's time and effort for meeting or having a schedule with me. I usually come earlier than usual and prepare myself for the meeting and whenever I couldn't come because of some reason, I let the person know a few hours before the scheduled engagement. Plus, I do a confirmation a few hours just to be sure that the person remembered the meeting and to confirm to him/her that I am coming. That has been my habit for a long long time, and so far, no one has every complained about me being late.

I'm always mindful of time and this was enhanced when I worked with Jollibee. They're very strict there. But basically I'm a time-conscious person that if I have an appointment, I'll be there 10 minutes before time. I do this because I don't want people to wait for me--it's just a very uncomfortable feeling.

I do try to be early than who i am having the appointment with.It is very unprofessional and rude to keep them waiting, specially if it is a business meeting.Punctuality is very important in our everyday life. It is also one way of showing others how considerate we are by not keeping them waiting.

Hi robert19ph! It's really important to take note that when having an appointment one should not be late.
