I know it is not the worst crime in the world but sometimes it can really ruin a day.
We were stuck in yesterday waiting for someone who was coming at lunchtime and pitched up after 4pm. We were quite happy for them not to come until that time but they knew we had things to do and we could have gone and done them in that time rather than hanging around, not really getting into anything as they might appear any minute.
They then did it again today. A crowd of us were gathering - everyone else turned up five or ten minutes before or after the alloted time - my lovely friend pitches up about 40 minutes later, well aware that everyone would have been waiting for her.
I totally understand that things happen and we are all late sometimes, through unavoidable circumstances, but this has become a habit.
I have a close family member who does the same thing and can turn up 2 hours late, even for a child's party, and then wonder why no one has time to chat to them and everyone is leaving.
Is it me? Am I just too uptight or are they being down right rude? I strongly feel the latter but maybe I am wrong.
