Are there any advantages of being late?

I hate waiting and I hate it when people are late either on special occasions or simple getaway. I always practice being on time so I want others to do the same. But I noticed that most Filipinos come late. That's why we have the "Filipino time". I don't understand why others want to be late. What are the benefits from being late?

Only if you count annoying people. It shows irresponsibility, immaturity, and a lack of respect. When you are late and it is avoidable. However, life happens and sometimes things are beyond our control, in those cases, it is best we exercise our patience.
Sincerely and With Appreciation.

We might not gonna know but sometimes it has its own benefit. Someone I knew says sometimes being late is helpful, remember the 9/11 bombing? It happened early morning, and since we do have this what we call "Filipino Time" it says that there less than Filipinos who got hurt. I'm not really sure about it. It was just a random thoughts of my friend.

Friend,
I believe that being late has no advantage at all... You are only too good to understand those people who came late all the time.
Those people who don't know how to come early means he/she doesn't know how to manage his/her time.. "The VIP" once called by other people. They were insensitive to their peers and their environment.
