Have a pain the arse aunt who would always show up 30 minutes after the planned dinner time, so I showed up 45 minutes late last Thanksgiving.

Such satisfaction!

It's inconsiderate as all hell, especially if you established a time to meet or leave beforehand. It's pretty much like announcing that your time is more important than mine.

Tell a chronically late person an earlier start time than the actual start time and watch what happens. When they see they’re on time or maybe earlier than some other folks, they tend to get angry.

Those that make you wait are selfish and arrogant. They think that they are important enough to make you wait for them. Some even do it to make a Grand Entrance...selfish individuals!

Have you never needed to take a piss on the road while nobody else did?

Worst is the guy who finished pumping his gas, gets in his car, and sits there for 10 minutes.

I feel the same way about these people as the people who throw trash out the window; we must be from different planets because I can't even begin to understand it.

We have a meeting at 0600 at work(offshore). Bosses get there at 550 and everyone files in right after. I've figured out what they're doing. If the meeting goes past 0615 they have to pay the night guys OT. So they go in early, and everyone shows up at 0555. The 15 minute meeting is over by 0610, so they don't have to pay the OT. Now I have no dog in this fight, but I'm getting there at 0559, I don't care if everyone is waiting on me to start. Them boys getting paid.

It's very simple.

I prefer people wait on me rather than me wait on them.

If you’re 15 minutes early for something … you’re a prick. Be one time. But NEVER be early. That’s a pet peeve.

If people were waiting on me I’d be so anxious and stressed that I couldn’t handle it. How are people okay being the last ones ready to leave, last ones to show up to a dinner/event?


That’s because you’re not a retarded a-hole. I’m not setting the bar low, I’m just saying that’s how you should be if you’re even marginally aware of the people around you.

So many people are blissfully unaware of their surroundings. I hate and envy them.

I hate them because I feel the same way you do and despise waiting on morons.

I envy them because I wish I had the privilege of being dumb enough to not know how my actions affect others.
