Being Punctual

[Nancy5]

I'm on time, but my one relative in always late.  I think it is rude and non caring.  One day I had a dinner and she and her family were invited.  The dinner was at 5.  Everyone was there except her and her family.  At 5:15 I called her, she was still at home!  She lives about 30 minutes from me.  No explanation, just said 'we're on our way, just leaving now".  So I stupidly waited the extra 35 minutes until they showed up.  The meal was crap, the meat dried out, rolls over cooked, etc.  that was the last time I invited them.  On, and I had told her dinner was at 4!

Being late is disrespectful.  You think your time is more important than everyone else's.  Like its okay to waste other's time because you are so friggin' important.  Chronic tardiness  annoys me big-time.

When I am going somewhere, I try to get there early.
