I've got a roomie like that. My other friends and I used to complain amongst ourselves about his perpetual lateness....until I finally formulated what is now universally known as Snyder Time Dilation.....(my roomie's last name being Snyder).

It's quite simple. Whatever time frame he quotes you (i.e.- I'll be there in 10 minutes), you multiply it by 6 and add another 15 minutes to the product. So 10 minutes really means an hour and 15.

Strangely, it works!

But he's not the worst. My parents are the worst I know....to this day friends and family will tell my parents that events start 2 and a half hours before they actually do....so that my folks will be a "fashionable" 15 minutes late or so.

Ugh. Needless to say, it sucked growing up having to go places with them.
