Bitch Session - Running Late
I’m one of those people who hate running late. If I say I’m going to be in such and such a place at such and such a time, I’ll be there … if not early … but that’s a blog for another time. It drives me nuts when I realize that I’m going to be late for an appointment or meeting a friend. That’s where having a cell phone is invaluable. You can at least contact that person and let them know you’re on your way, albeit a few minutes late.
Then there are those who don’t give a damn when they’re late. They’ll just trot on in whenever, expecting those waiting for them to wave off the inconvenience … whatever. Sorry, I’m not that way. If someone is invited to dinner at 6:00 and they’re not there by 6:15 … too bad. You’ll be eating a cold dinner, and probably well after everyone else is done.
I understand circumstances causing you to run behind. Traffic is the prime offender, but at least let me know so that I’m not sitting there twiddling my thumbs waiting.

It drives me nuts, too. I’m an on time kind of person.

The sad thing is that I find a lot of “late” people really don’t care. On reflection, they probably have a lot less stress than I do.
