Eh? Like.. a party? I make a point of being late to those, preferably by hours.
I'm surprised so many people are so uptight about this. I mean if you are talking about a 1 on 1 engagement, particularly business-releated, yeah, being stood up or kept waiting for an absurdly long time isn't good. And again, along business lines, some key person that doesn't show up for a meeting on time, thus causing everyone (who likely don't want to be there anyway) to waste time is bad.
But speaking purely socially, you expect everyone to show up 15 minutes early to everything? Well if both people had the same sense of "responsibility" (I really use that term loosely, I'd say that borders more on compulsiveness) they'd both get there way too early, why not just set the time earlier. :P It's not like it bothers me if I show up and, god forbid, have to wait 5 minutes. Dunno if I'd want to meet with someone who were judging my personal character if that role were reversed. I'm personally comfortable enough with myself to spend a few minutes not being entertained by another person. /shrug
