i am a stickler for being on time and by being on time i mean being 10 minutes early - i find it so disrespectful when people are consistently late because it just shows that they don’t respect my time and i don’t get the excuse that it’s just part of their personality bc if they really cared they would make an effort to change anyway this was brought on by the fact that i missed my very expensive train bc my friends were late

i totally agree, and i am a recovering late person! i realized semi-recently my lateness is caused by anxiety and stems from the fear that when i leave the house i won’t have everything i need. getting ready feels triggering and clouds my judgement. but at the end of the day it’s just disrespectful, and like you said can cost friends time, money, and peace! acknowledging the anxiety really helps me start to overcome the bad habit of being late.

as a chronically late girlie I know what it's like to be trying really hard to be on time and still not being able to, time blindness is very real. that said there are exceptions, if something is expensive (especially for someone else) or if the friend I'm seeing cares about punctuality and I know that I literally set the time I have to be there for 30 minutes before I actually need to be there. then either I'm early and I hang out or I'm scrambling but still on time. but trust me I'm as frustrated as you are about it.

I’m usually like 3-10 mins late to everything so I’m relieved when someone else is running late, too. Punctual people stress me out in a casual setting!!

Don’t be late. It’s in bad taste. Everyone is always late nowadays it seems!

No problem getting to work/important appointments on time but any leisure or social plans? Expect me to show up fashionably (some would say frustratingly) late.

today someone told me something about myself and they were just so completely off base that i started questioning my tone and facial expressions bc that was in no way the vibe i was going for a related anti rec: people who meet you once and assume that they know everything about you (which they obviously don’t)
