It's a control game and people who are habitually late are passive agressive and acting out.
I know a relative who always plays that game and I had to say that it's not fair because my time is just as valuable as hers. And yes, I go into the movie after giving her and/or other late friends that 15 minute buffer.
Brutal honesty is often the best cure for this type of behavior.
