Okay. If you agree to be somewhere at a specific time, BE THERE ON FUCKING TIME.
This shouldn’t be too hard to understand. If multiple parties have agreed on a time, BE THERE ON FUCKING TIME.
If you’re not, you’re telling me that your time is more important than mine. That I should adhere to a schedule, but that you should be free to do what you want. FUCK YOU.
Short of a dramatic catastrophe, if you fail at this beyond maybe a 5-10 minute window (or 10% of the expected duration of the event, whichever is shorter), you’re an asshole. Period.

Agreed.
This is probably one of my biggest peeves. I’m compulsively punctual (aka “compunctual” in a neologism I’m trying to start), and leave myself plenty of time to get someplace, including a buffer so that if I get delayed by a train or whatever, I’ll still be on time. So I hate it when I get there on time and then get a cell phone call 5-10 minutes later saying “Oh, I’m just leaving now”. Hate hate hate. I agree that it shows a total lack of respect for the other person’s time.
yeah late people are annoying. I end up lying to them and telling them earlier times if they are consistently late.
Early is on time.
On time is late.
Late is unacceptable.
