I am habitually late. Don't know why, it's never my intention, but I am just always late.

I'll be back in 5 minutes and give you my thoughts. Sit tight.

But the opposite gets me just a tad bit too. The other person says they will pick me up at 10a and they pull up at 9:40a and knock on my door or sit in the driveway or walk around in the yard.

I wait in gas station parking lots or parking garages all the time, but I do *not* show up early, especially at a female's house.

I’ve fizzled out friendships over it. It’s my top pet peeve.

It isn't irrational. Dealing with people who don't care about other's time is a "them" problem". People who are constantly late, and know this about themselves are completely selfish. If you are supposed to be somewhere, at a certain time, be there...ON TIME.

I feel you brother.
It’s the season for dressing up. And Mrs Prez takes a min of two hours to get ready for anything. So you can bet she’s going to wait until about an hour before we need to leave to start getting ready and then bitch at the family for why “we” aren’t ready to go while we’re sitting on the couch fully dressed waiting for her to get finished.
You know I used to love this time of year. But the older I’ve gotten it’s nothing but one cluster after the other. I feel like I barely am home from Oct 1- Dec 31. It’s always some “obligation”, or “event”, and they all cost a shite ton of money.

I don't mind if someone is late showing up to the boat ramp to go fishing. It just gives me a bit more time to make sure the flyrods are strung up with an indicator, anchor fly, and drop fly and that we're ready to start down the river as soon as they get there.
What irks me to no end is having a regularly appointed time to be somewhere like work, or particularly church on a Sunday morning, and the person (spouse, child, whatever) who is attending with you is habitually late in getting ready. I nearly pop a blood vessel in my head when we have to do a Bat-turn into the church parking lot and scurry in like a frightened cat to be seated before services start! (That is frustration and anger - and it's not irrational.)

This----especially if invited to my house for dinner. When I entertain people for dinner I put on a nice meal and make it a point to have everything hot, and done at the same time. Let's just say Lasagna, Garlic/Cheese/Spinach Bread, Caeser Salad with homemade dressing and croutons to start it off.
Tell people dinner for 7, feel free to arrive early for a cocktail, conversation, relax etc. and they show up at 7:30 or later when everything is sitting on the stove cooling off.

I'm 36 and it started driving me nuts a few years ago... especially w a kid there is so much more to coordinate.
Had a buddy that was gonna come over for drinks...coordinated getting the kid down and all that to accommodate a time that worked only for him to 30 minutes after our agreed upon time say...oh I'll show eventually...wife still talking here at dinner lol.
If I make accommodations to meet you at a certain time, respect it

My wife is like this unless I stay on her arse. If it’s an event or something we’re going to to for her, I’m not that worried about it because she isn’t. If it’s something for me, we’re showing up 10 mins early. I can’t stand being late, especially if others are depending on me to be there at a certain time.

Being angry because someone is late is never irrational. Chronic lateness is selfish

Yes it does. Been married 25 years and my wife is late for EVERYTHING. She can have a full open day with nothing going on and if we have to be somewhere for 7:00, we will be late.
Even for church we are almost always late.

I have no patience for people that are constantly running late. To me, it's some sort of passive aggressive move.
