I somewhat respect the people that are dependably late. My BIL? Add 30-60 minutes to whatever he says, and he's right on time.

I used to work with a guy who was late every day. I hated him and still do. So does everyone else. When we go out to a job site, we are expected to be there at a certain time. When assholes like him show up late, we(the company) look like fuckin idiots. Also, since we have to deal with rush hour traffic, leaving the shop 15 minutes late will frequently mean that we don't get to the site until 30 minutes later. 20-25 minutes late might mean 45 minutes later and so on. Getting to the site late means that the job starts late which means we finish the day later. In winter months, with less daylight means that we may not finish working until after dark. Most of our machinery has lights on it. but its still more dangerous to have to work by floodlight than with day light. That guy was a piece of fuckin poo poo (for various reasons besides just showing up late) and everyone hated him. Constantly getting hosed because he can't be bothered to show up to his fuckin job on time. If you have a job where you can show up whenever you want then great, I hope you like it, but not everyone can, and some rear end in a top hat that doesn't think he needs to show up at the specified time just fucks a bunch of other people because of his selfishness. gently caress that guy and gently caress people like him.

big nipples big life posted:The people who show up to a movie after the lights are out and want to scooch down an entire aisle instead of taking the first available seat. are you talking about during the previews, or after the movie actually started? during the previews who cares i'm much more annoyed by people who apparently can't hold in their pee for more than 60 minutes but sit smack dab in the middle of the row instead of near an aisle. i saw dune recently and had to do the awkward leg pull up to let pissers go by a dozen times, it was pretty disruptive, and i would've been upset if it had actually been a good movie i was watching.

It's a different kind of rude but rude nonetheless. Perhaps worse, because they could have chosen the "Hey we're early we should chill out for a bit before we show" correct path, and instead chose the "WERE HEAR HELLO!!!!!"

My god, every year it's the same. This family's Christmas dinner and gift opening. Should start at 5 they say, every year. And every year we start eating at 8 or so. It's all great, but the delusional time frame gets me. Then deserts and coffees and such and they start opening presents at 10PM. It's nuts.

I'm often about 5-10 mins late for work in the mornings if I work at 8. If I start at 9 I'm usually on time. I hate mornings, man. I have a hell of a time getting out of bed and then not going back to sleep after I take my meds. I tell myself I'm not going to do it when I'm awake the night before and then I fail hard when my brain is still half asleep. You can't reason with that poo poo. I'm usually on time to things that aren't first thing in the morning. If it is, all bets are off.

When I was in school we did personality tests and talked about different personalities and one thing that stuck with me is that some people will put things off and feel guilty while others will not have any worries about it. I'm a worrying procrastinator and it kinda sucks.

I had a few people that were 15-20 minutes late to shift every day, and people that would be 15-30 minutes late coming back onto their rotation from their break when I was team lead in a aseptic cleanroom. When you're working with 3.5 hour rotations based on a hard limit of "being in your bunny suit in the room on a single sign-in longer than 4 hours is an excursion the customer and FDA/other requisite national regulatory agencies need to know about and investigate," that poo poo really grates on everyone. It drove me especially nuts because any time there was a close call on an excursion I got in trouble too, because "why aren't your people coming back from their breaks on time!?"

I go out of my way to make sure Im at least 5 minutes early to any given appointment. I then wait for 30-45 minutes for the other people to either show up or message "lets rescheduel this to another day" Im not even mad anymore, Im violently infuriated.

Once a parent brought their kid to my kid's birthday party 50 minutes early. I wasn't going to make them wait outside so of course I said it was fine but secretly i thought it was not fine.

Arriving before I am ready and making me rush around is far more annoying than making me sit there and read my phone or listen to music or people watch. I think anything more than 15 minutes early is super rude.
