Lateness...

Sound advice there.

I'm always annoyingly early.

So much so that when people turn up on time I'm already grumpy anyway

..me too, always first dialling into meetings, getting the station or airport. Suppose some of us are just like that.

Good thing to be renowned for though Eggs.

For people I'm generally better but for work I had a 5 minute grace period and turned up at 5:04 or 5:05am every day.

Being prompt was always drilled into me when I was younger, so I have little tolerance who are simply unable to manager their time.

If you were meant to be on parade at 7am, then you got up early enough to get ready and be on time. There isn't an excuse if you're regularly late.

I know of a gentlemen who was regularly late to work by over an hour each day, therefore they adapted his schedule so he wouldn't be late.

Instead of starting at 8 like everyone else, he could arrive at 10. Guess what... he was still late for work most day for a number of reasons.

Took to a disciplinary and eventually sacked - a decision he appeals and gets to a tribunal. Guess what... he was late for the tribunal.

I will let you surmise what their eventually decision was.

Being Prompt is a weird name for a bloke.

I hate it. Drives me mental. Mother in law is the absolute worst person iv ever met, never apologises either. Last week waiting in a restaurant she was 45 minutes late, 11 people waiting to order!

Then just now. Due to take the girls to see Shaun the sheep at 2. Turned up at 2:02.. Aaaarrrgghhhh....

I am ridiculous at it. Being on time that is. If I am more than a few minutes late home from anywhere, Mrs R frets, cos I am nearly always exactly on time.

I drove back from Middlesborough to Bristol recently. Told her I should be back at 5, and was in at like 2 minutes past.

Not healthy that really.

My old mate was terrible. If I was meeting him at the pub I'd say an hour earlier than I actually meant.. He'd still be late...

I'm am always bang on time, or make the effort to leave earlier in case of problems!!

I was early for my birth, been late for most things ever since. It makes me rage but I'm useless. Been bollocked in work for being late on so many occasions, still late two or three times a week, pushing it the other days. Always embarrassingly early for interview though.

It's not because I don't respect the people where I'm supposed to be, I'm just horrendous at planning and organising. Is there a 'dyslexia' for timing? If so, I've got it.

I have the exact same problem with mine mate and she deffo does it on purpose as she does it to everyone . In the past she has missed flights due to her doing her hair, nails and a myriad of other petty little things which make her late and are all about control in reality. The way we get round this now is by out right lying to her about what time she needs to be anywhere . IE if the film started at 2pm, tell it starts at 1.30. She won't notice as she,ll just think that she's on time .

I once went and had a nap in her spare room whilst we where waiting for her to get ready for a family night out as I knew that she'd be at least an hour late for going out, even then she didn't get the message !
