Tbh I've always thought that being (sistematically) late shows disrespect for the other people's time.

This friend of mine is a bit like Kuuki's parents.
She gets easily annoyed when others are late, but I think it's mostly because she's not used to it - she's the one who is always late!
But, hey, if that's annoying why do you keep doing it to others?

I think that kind of people just think that waiting for others is awful, but they are so selfish they'd rather have you waiting than risking to be the ones who have to wait.

That's annoying. At least if you're late be apologetic about it?
I have a friend who was always late and we ended up deciding it was better for me to go wait for her at her house directly so I could have coffee with her dad instead of waiting doing nothing.

Usually I don't mind waiting though. I know I'm always early so I'm used to it but it all depends on the other party's attitude.

Yes, I'm the same.
I'm usually not on time, I'm before time.

I don't mind waiting. I used to bring a book along, now even if I forget I have the phone.
Actually it's better for me. If I'm too tight on time I get anxious.

But, yeah, it's all about the other party's attitude.

Yeah i personally like arrive early to things instead of late. Like you say, it seems disrespectful to not consider the time when you’re meeting someone or going to work. However, sometimes its unavoidable.

Agreed.
Anyway for me a one-time thing does not matter - anyone can be late!
It's jut the I'm-always-late-and-I-don't-care attitude that bothers me.

Apparently being chronically early or chronically late can be attributed to ADHD. It's hard for some people to judge time so for me, I always overestimate and show up really early to everything! XD

But yeah, it's a whole other thing if you just don't care about your arrival time...

Neither have I, but I’m not always a repeat offender of being late lol or being early. I try to arrive just in time lol.

That sounds very balanced.
I sometimes I wish I did that too!
