I am a person that always come on time if I can't make it on time I rather not come or inform that I'll be late for a good reason. And I hate or don't like I'll wait especially make me wait not come on time or I'll wait and don't come at all without informing me.

I always make it a point not to be late in any meeting or activities. I hate to be late and I do not want people to wait for me. My line of work involves conducting trainings and classes. So for me time is of the essence. If ever I am late, it is probably cause by something beyond my control.

i am very punctual! i always come on time. whether its on normal office, a meeting, a date, name it! i live far from my workplace so i leave at least 2hrs before my shift starts. its has been my habit. :) if i will be late, i will inform the people involved. i haven't done that because i am running late i'd rather won't just show up. that's not a valid reason for me. i still believe that its better be late than never. :)

Hello,i am a definitely punctual person and arrived at the school,workplace or some place else on time except some irresistible reasons,i really object to being kept waiting.i always wonder why some people be late for everything without particular reasons,maybe it is just a habit of somebody.

i admit that i come late but this is very rare. when this happens, it would be for a very, very good reason. i inform the person i am meeting beforehand that i maybe late for a few minutes and apologize that something cropped up. generally, i am a punctual person (even sometimes very early to an appointment) and i hate being made to wait for an appointment.

I am mostly punctual but rarely late. When I am going late or would be late, I advice the person I'm meeting with at least 30minutes before-hand. I think this is because I hate people who come in late and I don't like to be kept waiting too. So, I strive to really be on time or even earlier so that they will not waste their time waiting as well.
There was one particular incident with my good friend who, that time, was getting married. We were preparing her wedding plans and all and we'd usually meet. I did give her time, but noticed that she was always either late or has other businesses to attend to while we were just waiting on for her. I finally snapped after a few occasions of not really taking our time seriously. I told her that I am not earning for being there with her to help her in her wedding coordinations, so she should learn to respect my time because I am wasting valuable money just to be with her instead of working.
Finally, she got my point and from that time on, she would tell me before hand (at least an hour) if she'll be running late, and is able to plan out the agenda well so as to prioritize the things that is needed to do with me before she does her other business.
I was rude, I now, but at least it worked and she no longer wasted my time.
