This is one of my major pet peeves.
I'm a punctual person. I don't like making anyone wait, and if I am gonna be late for whatever reason, I call ahead.
Conversely, I'm also pretty patient. I know not everyone is going to be on time, so I try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Still, I don't like to be kept waiting too long.
Why has this come up now? Allow me to explain...
I have a co-worker I get along with reasonably well. She's fun to talk to and a decent worker. But ever since I started she has never once come in on time. And a few weeks back, I offered to hang out with her. I told her I was going to pick her up at her place at a certain time. I texted her around 1pm and waited. I waited for 30 minutes before I gave up and left. I didn't get a response until 4:30pm. Needless to say I was irritated.
So I ask everyone, are you on time when it comes to work/dates/hanging out? If not, I ask why. I'm genuinely curious about this.
