Have a few genuine questions for people who are consistently late...(not strictly an AIBU thread)
What is it generally that makes you late? (e.g no time awareness of how long things/travel takes, being slow at tasks, poor planning??)
Would you be offended if a friend pulled you up on your lateness? (Consistent 15-30mins late per social meeting say, not the odd 5mins)
Do you get annoyed when you have a friend that "out-lates" you? Or do you just accept that time isn't an issue?
I'm really struggling with a late friend these days and just don't know if/how to address it. She is the sweetest girl ever but her time keeping is shocking and usually has me frustrated by the time she arrives thus setting the get-together off to a bad start.
AIBU?

I think been late is rude. As a pal once pointed out, before mobiles everyone was on time as you could not message and make excuses. I bet they are not 30mins late for a flight or work, just people\occasions they think will get away with it.
I used to be a 10mins early person but since Covid and lockdowns I am now an on time within a couple of minutes person (appointments did not allow waiting).
