Why can we just be on time? why are we always late?

I will feel angry and upset if my friends or family always late.I will never make any bussines again with the late people.I hate late and always want to come early or sharp on time.I think your boss want to get more profit by make the unfair rule like that.He should be more sympathy or know maybe his worker will have an excuse or emergency.

It is a great source of frustration to me when others are late. To me it shows a direct disrepect of other's time no matter how you look at it. If it is a superior at work, many times you cannot do anything much about it. If it is a church meeting (and I am not the speaker) I leave after 5 minutes. It's not fair to act like other's time is invaluable. It is also not fair to set a time and not start when you say ... what about the people who took the time and effort to be there on time? It irks me to say the least!

I am never late for appointments and I think that people who are late have no respect for the people who they are inconveniencing. If, for some reason beyond my control, I am running late then I will call the person concerned to tell them that I am running late. If I am chairing a meeting, I will close the doors at the specified start time and any late comers will not be welcome. It seems to be an African thing that if you are late it is cool. Some African politicians even arrive late on purpose, thinking that they will gain more respect ???

Its quite frustrating when you are waiting for someone for a very long time. It shows that they dont have the decency you show up on time. But anyway, I think that rushing gives you a sort of buzz. It kinda gives a thrill which could be enjoyment to some people. Thats just the way I see it anyway :)

Ok ; if someone is late by 5 or ten minutes then I cant see any problems with that ! Honestly if someone is late by about an hour or more and did not have a reasonable reason then they really dont give a St..! Thats life .If its to do with work then yes you should be on time or have a very good reason for not being there when you should ! I will say one thing concerning peoples time and worrying about lost time,do I have time for this or do I have time for that! Geeees no wonder people have got nervous disorders and health problems! We worry too much about TIME we use,time we have lost! I think its about TIME we started to relax before we all die of heart attacks or strokes!Further more the best way we all could spend time is with OUR FAMILIES because they are the ones that really matter in this world that is becoming more time dominated! Like a snake trying to squeeze every bit of life out of us but in this case every bit of our time! Work has become the main problem in time consumption and makes alot of people anoyed about people who are late!Work takes alot of our day and when we do get spare time (which is not much)we dont like to have it wasted! I understand this but as I said above this sort of lifestyle is only going to send us to our Graves BEFORE OUR TIME!!! If you read this thankyou for your time ! Bye

NO ONE ENJOYS OTHERS' LATE! it is apprent that u must be great uncomfortable or upset,even rageful when the ones are late time after time.however i'm lucky that haven't meet this kind of guys,or i could have broken up with her/him

I am always on time. Mostly before time. I can't tolerate why people are late without any reason. If I can remember any thing when I am late, it must be for unavoidable circumstances.

My best friend and my sister each are known for being late to everything, or saying "i have to go out, ill be back in an hour" and then its 3 hrs. My reaction is nothing anymore because now i just know to expect them to be later than they stated they would be and if they are ontime or earlier, well then its that much better....outside of them two though i absolutely hate when ppl are late, unless its for a reason out of their control.

I guess I'm lucky, since most of the people in my life are usually on time. If they have to be late, they usually call. On the other hand, there are always times when stuff comes up, or people can't call, and meetings start late. At that point, I just try to remain calm, don't let it get to me. When it comes right down to it, yes there are other things I could be doing with my time rather than waiting, but when you get upset, it raises your blood pressure, and can put you in a bad mood for hours. I'd rather just take a few deep breaths, stay calm, and eventually things turn out ok in the end.

I get frustrated when people are late. If it's someone I am close to and I know they always run late, I usually give them a time to meet that is ahead of when I actually want them there. I know sometimes things come up. That happens to every one, but I don't think there is an excuse to being late all of the time. I personally can't stand being late. It gives me anxiety, so I set my clocks ahead a few minutes just in case I get caught in traffic or something and always make sure I get ready with plenty of time.

we are late b coz lazyness busy sleeping we late b coz we want enjoying life its all i want to say

You know - back in the day, it irritates me to no end when people are late. I always think "my time is not as important as yours? Being late is so disrespectful, you don't respect me?" - on and on and on it goes. Now, I've learned to just sort of deal with it. Some people are just more aware when it comes to time and some aren't. When I make a date with my family, I make sure to note to myself that I don't have to be there on time. Though I still get there on time - I just blame myself when they get there late. My advice to you; 1) Buy a watch. 2) ADAPT! Leave early if you have to - plan ahead. If you get there early, great. If something happens somewhere - hey, you have time!

I don't enjoy when people are late. Especially when they have NO REASON to be late. I always seem to be the one who gets to the place 40 minutes to even 2 hours earlier than what is expected of me. It's an anxiety thing for me. I get there early so I can calm down from being anxious. Sometimes it's just a plain ol' OCD thing though. However, in the case of emergency or having a good reason, there shouldn't be punishment, but I'd would like that that person calls ahead of time explaining that they will be late and why.

honestly i didn't like to waiting because waiting is very boring. but honestly i ever to be late not once but almost every event or if i have been study to my course i am late. but i try not to be late because late has bad image to everyone. if i have some agreemeny i try not to late.

Is there no law against that? I mean, to be angery and warn someone of being late I can understand. But take away there money! That is against the law I think. That is just going to far. As for people being late, I don't like that either. But I am starting to coop with it, seeing as I have a BF that is almost always to late. He will lay in bed until he has 1 min left to get up and dressed and gone. I hate that. He will make me wake him up at 9 am, at 10 I am still trying to wake him up. Told him I am not doing that anymore. He calls to tell me, he is coming home within 30 mins. 2 hours later he is still not home. I don't listen to him anymore. I don't want to make myself angry. Since I have been acting like this, he is on time more.

I am at your side. I am a kind of friend, person, worker, who is conscious about the time. At work, I know how to balance my time, I never become late, because I avoid unnecessary deductions from my pay, if I can really control and manage the situation right. It is just about time management. When I am meeting friends, boyfriends, I make sure that I arrive at the meeting place on time. Of course, I get really really pissed when they are late. There are also people who have the guts to be the one who is angry (kind of reversing psychology technique, if you are familiar with that!) the nerve!!! I will give way, it is happened just one or twice. Well everyone will notice if it's becoming habitual, i can't let it pass by. Really!
