re: People with zero sense of urgency or time

This was a problem in our office 25ish years ago. We had two or three out of 7 employees that would routinely come in late. They went to a Kronos punch clock 15 years ago and that issue magically disappeared. That right there should tell all of us that this mentality is solely a narcissistic behavior. They were fine with it until it inconvenienced THEM.

If they are impeding me, yes.
Nothing worse that someone going ten miles under the speed limit blocking traffic

That's a different topic all together. I never said that.
BUT, going 10 miles under YOUR speed, isn't a crime....youre speeding! You're the danger.
I speed quite a bit too. But when I do, I've taught myself it's my fault if I come up on someone driving more safely

We are friends with a married couple that everyone is in cahoots behind their back to tell them things start 30 minutes before they actually do.
I can't think of one instance where they arrived before the actual starting time.
We love them, but it is insane to me.
We call that "Helen time" in reference to my sister who is always going to be an hour or so late to something because she can never have fewer than 10 irons in the fire at any given moment.
I get wanting to get things done, but at least finish up a task before taking on one or two more.

Studies consistently show that people driving at a speed lower than the rate of traffic around them are the catalyst for most accidents.
It isn’t that hard to not be a burden on others

quote:of course. But we all also know this is the exception. Had a primary care doc that would keep you waiting an hour in the lobby then another 30-45 in exam area, then 15 more minutes to get labs. All for a PA to come in room and never look up from an iPad.
Also, you don’t consider that maybe the patient before you just got devastating news. Or maybe they required an interpreter service as required by law. Or maybe they were just an a-hole that showed up one minute before the 15min deadline, f’ing up the timeline for everyone behind them. Regardless, a “late” doctor is likely (at least partially) late due to circumstances beyond their control.
Switched Docs and I am called back within 5 minutes of appt time, nurse is in exam room within 5 minutes and Dr is in as soon as she departs. Gives a full physical exam, sits for a couple minutes and lab is waiting for me when I turn the corner.
The first Dr lives in a much larger home. Booking like he did was a pure strategy to maximize income. There is zero reason to wait hours every visit.

Being severely late or having no sense of basic urgency or mental time keeping to get to a place when you agreed upon is just plain disrespectful
Bro, chill. You need to get a few Latin American fiends in your life and get on that Hora Latina time where everything is just fluid and relaxed and stated times are just an approximation of 1-2 hour suggestions.

You keep going to a different situation. The point is not who's going slower, its who is speeding. If you are breaking the law, the other person is in the right, especially if they are going the speed LIMIT.
That study, does it say who's going the speed limit?
A CAR IS NOT impeding you, by being in left lane nearing to pass another, and you have to slow down cause you're speeding.
I personally scream at 28 wheelers who are NOT doing the limit, and hang out in left. Makes me wanna brake check them, lol

I can tell some of you mofos ain’t got little kids.
‘Sense of urgency’ is normal mode at the SS house. I’ve got three knuckleheads under 5yo. I’m just trying to get us all to the function alive. Arriving on time is further down the list and more times than not completely out of my control.

Add an almost debilitating sense of anxiety kicking me into that hyperspeed and that's me. As soon as I get do the calculation that hints I may be late, I begin to break into a cold sweat and it gets worse from there.
This is me. I leave extremely early for work. Since I have to drive through NOLA, I always leave time in case of bad traffic. When I do encounter a delay, the anxiety kicks in bad. Even though I have delay time built into my commute and will still be there on time, getting there later than I should pisses me off lol.

But if you have agreed to a time to be somewhere that hinges on you being there, you should be on time. Appts, tee times, etc.

That’s not at all how it works
The studies (multiple) were focused on slower than the rate of traffic - not speed limit

The speed limit is there to CONTROLL THE RATE OF TRAFFIC. It's moronic to do otherwise.
Lets say you're on interstate doing 70 mph speed limit. NO other vehicles for 2 miles except for 4 motorcycles racing at 150 mph. That's a "rate of traffic" average at 120 mph
If one hits you from behind and dies, your ( and the illogical study's) thought process is the car doing the speed limit caused an accident?
If 20 cars are speeding, they are causing their own impedance in front of themselves.
You cannot ethically believe in a study that doesn't use the speed limit. If a driver is going the speed limit, and a wreck occurs from a SPEED variation, the vehicle FOLLOWING THE LAW has to be identified.
Flipside....cars doing the speed limit or under, and 1 doing much slower, is absolutely an accident waiting to happen
