Do you hate people always late without heavy reason?

I do get annoyed at people who are chronically late. I think it is rude and inconsiderate. I had a woman from my church ask me to pick her up for a few weeks while her car was being repaired. I told her I would but that she would have to be ready so we would not be late. The first sunday I picked her up she griped afterwards that we were on time but that the services started late because the minister was late. I told her he was always late and if she had been on time she would have know that. Some times you just have to make a joke. When my friend returned to driving herself she returned to being late all the time.

I hate people that are late as well! I try to be as punctual as I can all of the time. Of course there are days where I get held up but I try not to let that be my own fault. I've skipped things such as putting make-up on int he morning and gone all day without that just so I won't be late to class or any meetings. I believe punctuality is such an important trait to have in todays society where people are so impatient and at the end of the day I could get places in life because I'm on time when other aren't. I particularly hate it if I've organised a meeting or rehearsal and others are late. If I've made the effort to be on time I can't see why others can't be and I often think people are too liberal on those who are late; which then means that those who are late think they can get away with it.

I dislike that too. People are late because they are either lazy or controlling. Either way it is a character flaw. I would not care except they waste my time and frequently the time of many people. If they are late ten minutes and 10 people are waiting they waste 100 minutes of everyone's time. It is just as easy to be five minutes early than five minutes late.

People always late,have no responsibility.They cant be relied for important works.You cant plan anything,including them,because the whole plan shall be upset by their lateness.People who never care for any appointments are to be hated,because they try to take things for granted.I really hate such people.They have to remember,"stitch in time saves nine".

Unfortunately I don't know what the "filipino time" means, but as I guess, I think its regarding the people who are late and are trying to find an excuse. Hehe, in my country it's called the academic quarter :P, which means a mere 15 minutes it's tolerable. As for me, I use to be late at various meetings, at school and even work. Please don't hate me for that,(and don't start trowing rocks at me, hehe joking). I have a problem, a time management problem. Most of the time, I am late about 5-10 minutes. Don't know how but I can't control it. My girlfriend is also mad at me because of that. She is not happy when waiting after me, so I'm trying hard to be in time. And to be honest it's working, but I need more practice. Have a nice day! Best regards, Octavian

to tell you the truth, i hate people of this kind but i am also this type... now i am on university campus, almost every time when it's starting to ring i was still on the road to dining hall...especially in the morning...

I feel very bad when others are late. It may be due to fact I am never late myself.it is very hard to wait for people who are just late without any reason.

Whew! I hate people who are always late. I am the type of girl who hates keeping other people waiting for me, that is why I would always make an allowance with my preparing time, travelling, etcetera. I would sees to it that I am at least 15 minutes earlier than the time set to meet. However, despite of my friends knowing that, they still kept me waiting. Sometimes, even if you remind them to be little early than the time set, still they got late. I would always end up waiting. Worse is, sometimes I intend to go to the meeting place later than the set time to meet, but the result was, I still arrived at the meeting place earlier.

i always try to be punctual to every meeting i attend to, that's why i dislike people who're always late. It's fine with me, if the person I'm gonna meet would be late for once if there was a very valid reason.

Absolutely. I am very irritated with people who are being late intentionally. They are always late because they know that we are going to patiently wait for them. There was a friend of mine where in she let me wait in the mall for two hours only to find out that she is still at home finishing the movie she started. She called me up in my celphone and told me that she is about to take a bath. Grrrr!!! So I told her that our meeting is canceled and I am going home.

If people don't apologize and show that they don't care that I've been waiting for them for such a long time, it bothers me a lot. -_- I really don't like when people are careless, especially when others are involved. This way, they're not only wasting their time, but they're also wearing the time of other people by causing them to wait for ages. If I agree on a time with someone, I expect the other person to be there unless they have an excuse, or at least apologize. I don't need a detailed account of why someone is late because even simple apologies are acceptable in my book. If I feel that the person adknowledged that I've been waiting for them for a long time, I'll appreciate it. ^_^ It's nice to know that the other person is able to put themselves in your shoes and view the situation from a different point of view. =P I'm late too, but I feel for the other person that has waited for me and truly feel sorry for wasting their time. The people I don't like are the ones that don't realize they've kept you waiting but feel like they have a right to do that. When people are late without a reason, I don't mind the fact that they arrived later than we agreed - what bothers me most is the carelessness and obvious disrespect involved if their behaviour shows like they don't care at all.

for me, i make it a point to be punctual because i think it is only proper courtesy to do so. however, i've recently been thinking whether it's even worth the effort to make an effort to be punctual when sometimes the other party doesn't make any effort to come punctually. there's also a mentality where people are late because they know the other person will be late. so if you can imagine, they will leave the house later and if anyone asks them why they were late, they can just reply "because the others will be late as well"

if someone late without some big reason.i don't like it.i don't like man who don't respect others

Hi there miamhae! Everyone has their own tastes and you are this type of person who don't appreciate people who are late. I am a Filipino and it is a fact that Filipinos had this "Filipino time" mentality. It is not a trait that Filipinos should be proud of. Of course, there are a number of Filipinos who choose not to follow this kind of trait. I believe you belong among the few who appreciates people who follow the right time. I am not saying that you have to be on the majority of Filipinos who choose to be late for no reason. Don't change your ways. This is definitely an advantage to your part, especially when you get to work on time-critical jobs. I don't hate those people who are always late for no reason. I learned to live and understand the uniqueness of the Filipino culture.

miamhae, Habitual late comers are simply hard to teach. I do have a few of such friends and as the saying goes they are our friends no matter what, so as we accept their good we need to encompass their bad as well. Anyway, I have learn to bring the appointed time ahead for them by the amount of time they require to be punctual. Say if you want to meet them at 11am and they are always late by an hour, I will then make the appointment at 10am for them and let myself arrive at 11am. Most of them it works. Besides no panic if they are early as they will be "rambling" on the mobile for me, but I am just close by doing window shopping or having a back massage at a nearby spa. So, you get my drift here.

hey, well yeah i don't like those who can't be on time..i can wait for 15 minutes, but it drives me nut if the time increases to be half an hour or so... uhh, i hate it... smiley,

i cant stand when people are late for no reason. its just irresponsible. if you know you take a while to get ready then you should get up sooner. i know a couple of people that blame it on having kids. if you're going somewhere and you want to be on time then get the kids ready early. i dont think there is a reason for anyone to be late unless its a reason beyond their control

well people can be late for many reasons,,.. the best excuse being they were just late to start.. it happens when one doesn't take the matter too seriously or doesn not care with the subject... i also know of a minority group who always appear late because they are unlucky or so they think...
