I'm 35 and this isn't only your age group and younger, I've met people in their 40's and 50's doing the same.

I'm always on time and make calls when something happens. It's also annoying as hell when its work and money is involved. If I'm told 8 I expect people to be there no later than 8 and ready to get started. I'm there at 730 and ready to start reading the book I brought because no one is showing up until 830 - 9

The best part about that it became such a problem that they decided we should start at 10, you can only guess how that turns out.

If I'm told a time I start billing at that time and I get going. If everyone wants to show up at 9, 10, 11 they can have at it, I'm starting at 8.

I really don't know how these people have jobs.

When I started working out of high school you better be 30 minutes early, otherwise you might not get scheduled the next day. Or your job was in question if you kept showing up late.

I really try and not be, but it somehow happens. I live 5 mins from work, wake up an hour early, still be 5 mins late. I hate it.

If you're late no matter when you start getting ready, then there is something in you waiting until the last minutes to actually get ready.

Can confirm, am almost never late to anywhere. Life is depressing and stressful to get everything done on time.

Sounds almost like Dunning-Kruger.

But my "theory" about this is PEOPLE ARE RETARDED.

You have Google Maps, GPS, and all this shit, and you can't get somewhere on time? You're either a rude piece of shit, or a moron. Pick one. Or two.

It's called people not giving a shit that they're consistently late. They have to ignore objective feedback that their estimates are wrong for it to continue. "Hmm, I'm later than I planned." Hmmm, I'm late again. Oh well, had nothing to do with me. I'll just carry on like before."

I am never fucking late. If I say I'll be there, I'll be there. Now getting me to say I'll be there... that's another matter. 🐐

If you aren't 15 minutes early, you are late. Got that from my dad, trying hard to pass it along to my son. It is hard.

The version I've heard is that there is no on-time, there's just early and late. Since you don't want to be late, you must be early.

If you have a friend that's chronically late just tell them to meet you whatever amount of time they are usually late for. so if you really want them to meet you at 2 and they always run 30mins on average behind, tell them to meet you at 130.

And if they complain about waiting for you, tell them to fuck off.

Procrastination.

Honestly, you just have to get ready for shit way ahead of time.
