It’s disrespectful as frick if the women in your family busted their arse to put a good, hot holiday meal on the table and you’re an hour late.
No, it’s not. Because you think it is doesn’t make it that. Turning the holidays into something you take this seriously is ridiculous. Family is together, everyone is enjoying themselves. It doesn’t matter when anyone eats or if they eat at the same time

There’s a whole thread of adults here that agree with me that if folks set a time, you show up on time.
You have to be pretty immature to not be able to grasp that.

My wife is perpetually late and it makes me fricking crazy! We are currently less than 2 hours from 30 people arriving at our home for a Christmas party and she is so incredibly behind on the things she needs to accomplish before anyone gets here. But she will not have a clue that she is running far behind until about 30 minutes before everyone gets here. At that point, she will lose her shite and start yelling at everyone like it’s everyone else’s fault. In situations like this, I used to tell her, “You are late, but have no clue yet that you are late. But rest assured, you are late.” Not anymore. I just get my shite done and then watch the train wreck.

I grasp it completely. I’m talking in the context of the holidays. If there’s a meeting or wedding or you’re picking someone up at a certain time then sure. But getting upset about when people arrive for Christmas or thanksgiving is stupid. End of story

Maybe if it’s a cocktail style deal. But most people have a sit down dinner which typically starts when everyone is together. Most people don’t start formal dinners with half their attendants and the others show up mid dinner.
That’s insane. End of story.

Yes when they think it’s funny that they are always late

Good news - y'all aren't friends already. It's a Christmas miracle!

I hope you and your uptight/stuck up family have a fun Christmas. But let’s face it, y’all won’t

ot so much the lateness, it's the lack of caring how it affects others.
Yeah, shite happens and people are gonna be late sometimes if there's a wreck on the freeway or something.
But I've learned not to bother making plans with certain people who just perpetually have zero respect for other people's time.

Sure, and those people are usually apologetic or acknowledge they are late. The type of narcissist I am referring to feels zero guilt or empathy

I'm convinced that women have some kind of wiring in their brains that prevents them from being on time. My wife can start getting ready hours before an event and we will still be late without a doubt. It's caused many a fight in the Ingeniero household
It doesn’t matter if my wife has 2 hours or 30 minutes to get ready. Either way she will be 10-15 minutes late.
And I HATE being late. I get physically anxious the minute I’ve done the math and realize being late is a possibility.
We used to fight about it all the time. I finally explained to her, I’m not just being an a-hole. I physically don’t feel well when you make us late. She actually got it and has made an effort to be better. She’s not fully reformed, but she’s on time about 50% of the time. Next step is to get her to see the benefits of being early.
