To think that its not difficult to be on time !

[Humansatnav]

Up early to drop dh off at 5:45 for work . He starts work at 6, but as his company have a ' no lone worker' policy he meets a colleague by 5:50 every morning, they have a chat & open up.
Except on a Wednesday, the colleague he works with that day is ALWAYS late.
So as its cold, dark and damp this morning and I'm fond of dh I wait so he cam stay in the car.
Wednesday man strolls up at 6:15 , no apology, or attempt.
Dh asked why he was late this time, and Wednesday colleague just muttered something about not liking winter mornings.
AIBU to think that its rude to constantly be late and leave people waiting for you ?

I don't like to be late but often I am. I have three young children who often will need a wee (again!) right after I've strapped them into the car to get somewhere. Middle child has a suspected overactive bladder syndrome and youngest DC has not long finished potty training so I can't really take the risk with either of them.

My other issue is that I have ulcerative colitis and so often sometimes I absolutely have to go to the loo just as I'm leaving the house. This might delay me by up to an hour (yes, really) and sometimes it gets to the point where I just have to cancel the appointment which ironically is often a medical one .

There's nothing I can do about either of those situations other than to allow myself an extra hour or so to get anywhere and then I run the risk of being caught short whilst actually out or if all is well, get to where I'm going and then have to hang about with DC for an hour twiddling my thumbs and then DC needing the loo again!

If it's an official start time, then yes this colleague has to get his act together sharpish. I would not want to be standing around in the cold and dark waiting for this man week after week. And yes I would also expect an apology from him. How frustrating I hope it sorts itself out.

No, not wanting to sand in the cold is not being superior Only. Noone wants to do that and luckily for the OP's DH she made sure he didn't have to.
What I considered to be acting superior was to say you would demand an apology like he was a naughty child.

I think raising with management is fine OP. If the guy has issues he can't discuss with your DH he can let them know. He may well just be rude and lazy in which case a bollocking from them might give him the push he needs. I was just meaning it is his bosses place to give the bollocking not your DH IMHO and by that I mean they tell him to be on time or else not demand he appologise!

We are not talking medical issues StillSquirelling but people who only start getting ready when they should have left the house already.
I do find those people who are always late are the very ones who have the hump when someone else is late.
