re: People with zero sense of urgency or time

all three of my grown kids are this way. If they aren't at my house by the time we gave, then we start eating without them. That didn't change anything, but we don't get mad anymore

My in laws are the opposite of this. They live in the same town as we do so we go for meals often. Last weekend we had a birthday to celebrate so we went over for lunch on Sunday. We had told them we’d be there around 1:15. They don’t go to church and had been home all morning. Yet when we get there, he’s still fixing twice baked potatoes and hasn’t even started the grill for the steaks. My wife asks if we’re having a salad or anything while we’re waiting and he either didn’t hear us talking or ignores us. Over an hour later the meal is finally ready. I told her to eat a snack before we headed over but she thought it would be ready when we got there. It has never been ready when we arrive. Always at least an hour.

I left work 30m early yesterday so that I could mow my lawn before the rain came, so I'm basically the opposite of who you're complaining about.

I fired a Primary Care Physician at Emory because she was always at least 30-minutes late.

I "fired" an optometrist after waiting well over an hour one time.. only to then wait longer for a different test.

Never went back. New guy us closer to the house and much more prompt.

I don’t like showing up to anything late.

My wife is a “if it’s not a formal thing then the time doesn’t really matter” kinda person and it drives me insane.

To your traffic comment though, I hate when people drive like they have somewhere to go that is more important than everyone else on the road. It’s usually trucks with lifts (or Altimas) that are being driven by these jackasses.

A constant topic between my wife & I.

I berled it down to respect. Either have respect for other peoples’ time or be a d-bag.
Self vs selfish imbalance is at the center.

I yell “rebalance” when she is running late. She calls me an a-hole. It just works like this now.

Hear you!

I had a baseball coach that said if you’re on time you’re late. That stuck with me so I’m usually 10 minutes early to everything. My wife and daughter on the other hand. Geez.

On a similar note who can’t stand people that walk slow. I’ve been a fast walker since college. Had to walk fast to get to the next class on time. People walking in front of me just lazily moving along drives me crazy.

zero sense of urgency or timeby ChatGPT of LA
You hate people that do last minute things and have to rush...yet you hate people who obey traffic laws and have time to drive in a relaxed manner?

I hate to break it to you...but you're one who's always late

This. I am punctual, early, and I drive with no stress because I have time to get where I need to be. People driving around and changing lanes like a crackhead trying to get 2 cars ahead make everything worse for everyone. If people drove the speed limit and paid attention we would all get where we are going, sooner. I stay out of the left lane unless passing, but the life lesson is to leave early and drive chill.

Get out of the passing lane, old fart.

Nah, I'm chill

I try my best to help others flow, but not when it impedes those actually following the law.
Don't get me wrong, I love to speed bit, especially on longer trips that would actually save time. But I understand when my increased speed makes me have to slow up more frequently.
Bottom line, fuq you. Left lane is for passing, but that doesn't mean just because you're speeding, others can't be there initiating a slower pass than youde prefer.

Da fuq I'm gonna rey a maneuver to move outta someone else's way, just because they are trying to do 90, and everyone else is calmly doing 70.
