Do you hate it when somebody makes you wait?

If there's good reason, I wouldn't mind. But what I really hate is I don't know what to do while waiting.. Really! I feel silly, try to play with my cellphone and press some button (actually I only look all the menu in my phone) or see other people (but then feel guilty when they look back to me). That's why I don't like waiting! Now I prefer to wait in cafe or restaurant, so I can order a drink or small meal and concentrate on my meal while waiting. Have you ever talked about this problem to her? I don't think it's fair. She need to consider other people's feeling too (in this case, it's your feeling) who must wait for her..

Waiting for someone to come when you are punctual is a punishment. Truly, you have been patient enough. Its normal to become rude, but people can never understand the value of somebody's time. They tend to take others for granted. I have been at the receiving end several times. I used to take the office cab on some days. There were these people who will never turn up on time. The cabbie and I would wait for atleast 30 minutes daily for the cab mate to arrive. Even then they would not apologize. They will simply get in as if it was a privelege for me to wait for them. I complained to my Boss and he took a strict action. He said nobody should wait for anyone. If people are around when the cab is supposed to start, they will be dropped, else, they have to arrange for their return. Voila! punctuality became a virtue for this person. :)

Well I am the type of person that likes to be on time for things and well it depends on what I am waiting for. I get impatient sometimes though when my husband takes a bit of time getting ready to go out when we are going out some where. And he takes forever in the bathroom and well when I go in to get ready I get rushed. But I would have to admit that I am an impatient person most definitely.

Dear friend, I also don,t like waiting beyond time. Time is money for them who understands its value. In our life we are brought up in a way that don,t be late for anything . If also u go half an hour early it is ok but never be late even for 5 minutes so whenever somebody makes us wait for long time, i feel very irritated. but we can,t change people .Some have habit of coming late.

Hi there, I know, it's frastrating to wait for someone... friend, colleagues, or reven your loved ones. Besides reporting to hostel warden, why don't you make her wait instead... just once and see how she reacts to it. Log into Mylot and make a few comments while she waits. May be she'll understand then?

i hate it. i have this friend who alwyas late, he can never be punctual i dont know why, but is it a habit already? i know a lot of people like to be late, sometimes can even be late by over 1 hour

Waiting for 5-10 minutes for a collegue is bearable. If she delays beyond that time, you just tell the driver to start the vehicle and proceed........

If she's always 5 to 10 minutes late, you can get there at that time too, then you will not have to wait, you will get there at the same time? Just a thought. I don't like having to wait for people who are 30 minutes and more late. It does make me angry. We used to have a "friend" who was always very late and so one day we just decided to start going on without her if she hadn't shown up when she should. There were even times that she never showed up and that is really awful when we're all adults but its even worse when we were all going to take the kids together to a park or something, kids don't understand that kind of thing at all.

Yeah there are people who have no patience to wait for a while,and making others wait for them for long time.I think,am not such a kind of person.I have some friends like that.Its really difficult to wait for a long time,for somebody,especially if we are alone.Good Discussion friend.

I hate when I have to wait for something. I am not that kind of patient kind of person.

I hate it when somebody makes me wait. But if they have good reasons for being late i accept it.

Once in a while,we can understand and adjust.But daily means,she is irresponsible and taking you for granted.No wrong,you fight with her and make her realize you can't be taken in the future.Try to complain to your hostel warden and they too will insist on her to be in time.Anyhow,I too will not tolerate such delays if it is going to happen daily.

Waiting is one of the worst thing in the world for me. I just hate waiting. I just feel like screaming at my friends face if they make me wait for long. Waiting for 5 minutes seems like ages you know, especially my friends and i decided to meet up at a particular place. Since i hate waiting, i don't like other to wait too. So i turn up at the proposed time, but my friends seldom show up at the right time. I hate waiting, i just hate it.

if she makes you wait EVERYDAY then you have the right to be angry! she is really unfair for doing this. you have to tell her that it is starting to annoy you. maybe she doesn;t know about this and she thought that is just okay with you. you have to come on to a common ground. after talking, if she is still late, then it is about time you go on alone.

I hate it very much and its like a bad dream for me to wait for anyone and anywhere especially in public place. thats very rude of her in your case. but may be the discussion was more important before leaving and so u may have confirmed the reason for your wait for her. Without the whole knowledge, one cannot blame another for any reason. So lets give her also a chance for proving her innocence and the reason for letting you wait for long.

Nobody likes waiting. Especially when I have work, that I need to do for a time, I get very angry when somebody makes me wait. Yes, I have a lot of problems. But no result, every person is different and try not to be angry when there is a situation with this kind of problem..

I hate to wait for any one, let it be even my family member. I never keep people waiting for me. I think we have no rights to steal the time of others. Keeping a person waiting means we are stealing their time. Time is money(indirectly) So we are stealing money and we are thieves if we keep others waiting, this is my opinion.

i have met this problem,including me,i let somebody waiting me,i found this behaviour is not so good,this is my expeirence yestoday,i was late when i went to meeting,i found that my manager was angry at me,although she did not said anything,but the meeting is very important and get the phone to me early,i get out lately,it is my duty,so i can see that manager hate what i do,i don't hope that thing happen again,i can change this behaviour,i know that this is not good when somebody wait me.

Absolutely and thats something most people do today. Giving excuses has become a habit and because of this, just about everyone walks away happily after making others wait.

I also don't like to wait someone. In our china, let people wait is impolite very much. So if somebody invite me, i will go as early as possible. But i don't like to wait . One day a friend said he would meet at the gate of a supermarket. But when i got there, he didn't come, not untill 10 minutes later, he showed up. He said he just take a bath. I was angry, how could you washing yourself while let me waiting for you in the sun. I think this people don't keep their promise. I also don't want to be waited. Someday i didn't keep my promise and let a friend waiting for me without a calling. I felt so ashamed about that. I don't want to be the people who like to break his promise, and i don't want to do that again. Have a good day and happy mylot .
