Depending on the situation, I'll wait 15 minutes and start without them. If it's dinner, I'll order. Movie, I'll go in and sit down. Sharing a ride, I guess they're driving, too.
I won't play the "compensate for their lateness" game. My time is important, too.
The exception would be my wife, if anyone has suggestions for getting her out the door on time without pissing her off, I'm all ears.
