Making people wait for you

I don’t understand how people are comfortable with it.
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?

I’ll tell you in a few minutes.

Once you start doing some rideshare, you start to realize what a massive problem this is. When I order an Uber, I am usually waiting outside for my driver, at worst, going outside within a minute of him arriving.
Yet, I quickly realized this wasn't the norm. Despite Uber giving riders the exact location and time for arrival, PLENTY of riders have me sit outside of their location like a dog, often with my hazards on in a high-stress, crowded roadway, and wait 5 minutes for them to saunter out.
It's aggravating.

It depends. If it’s always the same person running late or making you wait then we have a problem. If it’s an isolated incident or on rare occasion I’m ok with waiting as long as it’s a reasonable amount of time.
At least give a warning and say hey I’m running a little late.

Ah, so you aren't a woman

People who are consistently late have mindsets that their time is more important than anyone else’s.

I’ve instituted a strict A.I.S. policy when leaving the house to go somewhere. arse in Seat. Hasn’t had the desired effect tbh.

God, can you imagine how long you'd be stuck waiting if you took a lady doctor on a date.
It would be a long period.

“Can you save our seats?”
Me: “Nope.”
Me: “Nope.”

Because that is how they live their life, and either they are disorganized, which is not an excuse, or they lack self-awareness, which is not an excuse, or they are selfish, which they may not be aware of either - and not an excuse --- or a combination of all 3.
If they don't send a message prior to being late, I tend to think that person is selfish and only cares about themselves, which is the biggest red flag of the 3 mentioned above, but any of the three are good reason for you (or anyone) to not engage/pursue.

Depends. Your wife putting on makeup? Wait calmly. A guy that means nothing to you, screw that.

If you want, I’ll ask my 15 year old daughter how she copes with it and let you know. She has it down to an art form.

I think this is more common in people with OCD.
Worrying about minute, often unrelated and unimportant details impacts one’s ability to “meet deadlines.”

I’m on WPT so nobody waits for me.

I once did some IT work for a guy's office and when I arrived, the office lady said the guy didn't want me to start on anything until he arrived in a few minutes. He made me wait 30 minutes.
When he got there, he said "need anything from me? If not, I have a meeting to go to....let me know how it goes".
Cocksucker made me wait 30 minutes for nothing. I think he just liked people waiting on him so he could feel important.

I refuse to hang out with people who are routinely late. Plain and simple.

Absolutely rude to be late to an event, especially if you were invited. Sends a message that your time is more important and that's the quickest way to be removed from the list of invitees for the next event.

My view is, I’m worth waiting on.
