I have a friend, reallyively and sweet, would do anything to help you. But God forbid if you ever needed her to actually be punctual ever. She is always, always late. Always. She's always full of breathless excuses and apologies 10 times in a row. But I'm so fucked off with it.
Today, she asked if she could drop her DD round just for an hour. We agreed a time. 10 mins before that time she texted to say she was running 15 mins late because she's need to pop to the shop on the way round (why not go after she'd dropped her DD off?).
Well, even taking into consideration she told me she'd be 15 mins late, she's now half an hour later than her revised arrival time.
I rushed back from town to be here at the original correct time, and held back a late lunch, which is fast becoming an early tea. And I am still waiting for her.
I know she'll have got chatting to someone at the shop, as she talks endlessly to everyone. Or she'll have decided to squeeze in a totally random chore like checking tyre pressure. Because in her twisted logic, so long as she's on her way to meet you by the time she should ACTUALLY be WITH you (so 3pm today) then she isn't late. Because she's on her way.
She totally ignores the fact her house is a 15 minute drive from here. Or that she will spend 15 minutes in the shop, and therefore arrive more than 30 mins late to meet you.
Fuck right off. She needed me to have her DD between 3-4. I don't even know if she still needs me to have her now?
And she's STILL not here now!
I am so sick of her habitual lateness. It's driving me up the wall and it's starting to make me actively dislike her. Occasionally she'll do something really thoughtful like bringing round a homecake. But I don't want f*cking cakes, I just want her to not keep me waiting around.
