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.

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

You're projecting. By being upset that other people aren't there at the time you wanted them to be exhibits the exact same self-centered / self-important attitude.

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.

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.
