Wow, everyone is really generous with their time. I give people 15 minutes before I'm out of there. I also refuse to rely on chronically late people for rides. I'd much rather take the bus. Talk to the chronically late people about their issue, because it's disrespectful and shows a lack of care for you. If you're important enough to make plans enough, they should also be on time. I don't keep chronically late friends. Why? Because usually that along with being chronically late, they're unreliable... ect.
As for being late myself, even if it's going to be 5 minutes or under. I call. People think it's weird but I think it's rude to be late period. Even in extreme circumstances most of us have cell phones or can borrow one to call someone. My old boss used to think I was crazy if I called from a mile away, while sitting in traffic, to say that I was going to be 5 minutes late. I call it respect so that no one is wondering where/what is going on.
