Being a chronically late person is totally disrespectful and selfish. But, of course the "laties" don't see it that way. I have someone that I am aquanted with, she is a freind of a friend and will never be more than that to me, though I do like her, that is ALWAYS WITHOUT FAIL 40 minutes late. She never gets invited anywhere anymore because she can never be on time. I have even found that some people think they are cute and charming, and it is "just them" so I have to deal with it. I make it very clear with new friends, and my firends tell people we may be meeting with, that I do not put up with chronic lateness. If you are not there, I am leaving, and you will not be invited out with us again. An emergency is one thing, but all the time is another. And I hate people who are chronic "cancelors"...you are all ready to go or are even there, and get the phone call that they aren't coming.
As, for me, if I tell you I am going to be there I will not cancel unless I am on my deathbed, and I will be 5 minutes early.
