I hate to be late for anything. I also think it is rude if someone is expecting you at a certain time and you arrive late, without even a phone call. I am grateful for my cell phone in that regard. I call whoever it is, if I have encountered an unforeseen problem that in turn makes me run late. And it bothers me if someone does not have the same respect when I am expecting them at a certain time.
edited to add: I was brought up in a family that was early or on time to everything. I think it is just in my blood.
