i really don't like waiting for people because i get angry when i be waiting for hours and no one shows up,
well i don't get angry i get dissapointed really.
longest i was stood up by someone for was 5 hours and 45 minutes and truth be told i actually waited that long for the person and yes i was angry but not angry in a way that i was vex.
lately i don't like waiting for people anymore and usually i now enjoy being the one who's late,
when i have to meet someone, the lastest iv'e been is 5 to 10 minutes.
so when people stand me up for hours it gets me really disappointed.
have any of you been stood up before by anyone or is it just me?
have any of you ever gotten angry when stood up by someone?
i mean waiting hours or a long amount of time for someone isn't at all fun or something to be happy about.
iv'e waited hours for people who wouldn't wait five minutes for me.
ive waited hours for people who would curse and get angry if i was more than 5 minutes late.
so please tell me your experence with thses types of people.

Patience is a virtue. You could endure waiting if you love the person you are waiting for. I waited for my daughters hours on end. With dates on people I don't care much for, I also got infuriated.
But I never resorted to making other people wait. That is not a good thing.

@Merliva Never made anyone wait, I think. Always arrived before the scheduled meet. Always prompt. Being late is not me.

patience is not one of my virtues, in my case I am usually extremely punctual and if I have left after a certain time because I consider that each one's time is something very valuable

Whether I am waiting for somebody for business purposes or a personal friend, I will usually wait 10 to 15 minutes and then either call or text to find out if they are caught in traffic or otherwise hung up.
As long as I know that they are on their way and will be maybe another 30 minutes or so, I am O.K. waiting.
Any longer than that and I may have to reschedule the appointment. I'm a busy person with many responsibilities and my time is precious.
I don't remember waiting any longer than about an hour or so. Usually it's not the same person that I'm waiting for so I don't have a problem with any one person making a habit of running late.

the friends i use to be around trust me when i say,
i called and text a million times but no response or id maybe get some rude text message
saying if i can't take my time and i usually call or message after 30 minutes or an hour,
the thing is they come up with the time and they never keep to it.
am glad am not surrounded by this group anymore,
to be honest you sound like a real businesss woman,
so far i love that about you and i love how you value your time,
if i even bothered to set another date the people i once called friends would all tag
up and make me feel like am the bad person but the thing is if i was the one they had to be waiting for,
they would call me cursing and maybe just go without me and tell me meet them at the place.
i love the kind of mindset you've got,
there's alot i know that i can learn from from so i really do hope that we can communiacte more,
i'd love that
