As an UN-punctual person myself, I can say that I don't do it on purpose.....AT ALL.....it just so happens that even when I'm fully ready, something comes up......hard to believe but true....
Also...I have tried MANY times to be on time and I have been several times....I'm getting better actually.....I used to make people wait downstairs for over 1 hr......I have always been late....eversince I can remember......so to change overnight....it's not happening.....but I believe me, I TRY!
Ironically enough....I hate waiting for people in public places.....LOL

I DONT LIKE WAITING. IF IM ON THE PHONE AND SOMEONE SAYS HOLD ON, MA OTHER LINE" I WAIT ABOUT 25 SECONDS BEFORE HANGING UP... I GET A CALL BACK "WHY THE FACK U HANG UP FOR?" MY RESPONSE. "DONT PUT ME ON HOLD" AS FOR WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO GET READY IM IMPATIENT, BUT MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO WAIT REGARDLESS CUZ I DUN GET MA LICENSE BACK TILL FEBRUARY, SO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET PICKED UP ANYWAYS, SO UNTIL THEN I HAVE TO SUCK IT UP AND WAIT. BUT IF I'VE BEEN WAITING LONGER THAT 30 MINUTES, NIGGUH BETTER HAVE A GOOD REASON SINO A LA VERGA, IM TAKING A CAB.
Oh, I'm famous for leaving people..........I can't stand that shiiiiiiit........waiting... when I called before I left my house, then 5 minutes away from yours, and you still ain't ready when I get there, and have me wait for 15 minutes..........hell no......I leave!! To bad.
On a new year's eve I had to pick up one of my best friends at about 1 AM. I called him half an hour before to tell him I'd be there at 1. I got there at 1, rang the bell, and he wasnt ready. I called him and he said, wait two minutes!! So i waited two minutes, he didn't come out and I left. He missed a wicked new year's party, and stayed at home. He was never late after that....
Whatever, dude, we're still waiting on your arse! You stiffer!
I think that 15-20 minutes is fair when a plan has already been made. When it's a spur of the moment kinda thing, maybe 30 min. tops. Any time after that it's just plain rude. It also shouldn't happen every time you go out.
Once we waited 2 hours, TW0 facking hours, for Mark's buddy's girlfriend to get ready. And after those two facking hours she finally told us to go on without her. Facking ****! I was so pissed.

Have you ever heard stories of people missing flights or not making it to certain places......and because they're late.......their lives are spared from a tragedy??? Something to think about when you're pissed off waiting for someone You just HAVE TO see the positive in every situation and ruin it for everybody, don't you?
Trust me!!!
I HATE WAITING!!!! I GET REALLY PISSED OFF!!!!!
And the last thing on my mind at that moment is anything positive.
I'm just saying......'cause I've heard many stories about people being spared their lives for being late.

I haaaaate waiting. I think I must have British ancestors, 'cause I'm always so punctual! Always ready on time! My best friend in high school was always late, and I hated it, but we were really close. I always had to wait for her, and not an hour or two, but usually longer. I got fed up, though. I didn't have the patience for that. Now hubby takes longer to get ready than me, not so much because he pretties himself up a lot, but because it takes him forever to actually START getting ready. I'm the one who always has to wait.

It all depends – If I have to be somewhere on time, I generally AM on time… I think I am patient for the most part and will find something to do while I wait, but when I HAVE to leave, I have to leave… I have left someone behind for taking too long.
