I grew up with a mother who was chronically late to EVERYTHING. Dropped off at school...45 minutes late. Play sport?...45 minutes late to games and training. I somehow made my state basketball team...45 minutes late to everything until my coach started picking me up. Church...45 minutes late. Wherever we went, whatever the function, the family would all be ready and waiting, while mum was still getting out of bed.... Luckily, all my jobs during school years, were close enough I could run there in under an hour, so I didn't need depend on her. Even in the worst weather, I could not depend on her to help out. When I graduated and got my first professional job, the very first day she wanted to meet me for lunch. I waited 45 minutes of my 1 hour lunch break for her, then walked back to work. She rang an HOUR later and abused me over the phone for not being there waiting for her...! She was 45 minutes late to my wedding....! She was 45 minutes late for my Dad's funeral..! My mums a narcissist, and everything is unimportant to her, if she's not the center of it all. It's why I, and all my siblings now live 2000 kilometers away from her, and why she never got to know her grandkids. I'm sure anyone can be late occasionally, but if you do it every time, then sorry, but you're a selfish, disorganized cunt. Being late chronically is just pure disrespect for everyone around you. Edit: Sorry for the rant, but it was cathartic :)
