    Are you one of those people who’s incredibly punctual? Are you enslaved to the clock and counting every minute? Do you consider letting yourself have one moment of leisure when you’re supposed to be somewhere something tantamount to a grievous sin? What’s wrong with you? You don’t need to be on time everywhere you go, you need to stop and smell the roses once in a while and realise it’s all just one long rush to the grave if you don’t take some time for yourself. Be Late For Something Day reminds us that sometimes, just sometimes, it’s ok to let things slide and not quite be on time.

    I'm even finding it hard to type this! I am never late :eek:

    I’m afraid I’m one of those folks who are often late. Today I willy try not to be. This will be helped by the fact I’m on hols with no deadlines :)

  4. Hardly ever on time. What’s the point?

    Turning up three days late for an appointment doesn’t seem to bother the Spanish. And their country still just about functions. Good enough for me.

    I hate being late, that's something Ms.T and I sometimes disagree on.

    I’m always running late.
    My friends now just tell me to be somewhere half an hour earlier than they are all getting there.... this seems to work!
    There’s too many wonderful things in the world to get sidetracked by, and I’m sure there’s not much that can’t wait a few minutes. Apart from buses etc. But hey, there’s normally another one

  8. It depends a lot on what you are late for. If it’s for the bus, you missed it. If it’s to the cinema, you miss the start and annoy other people finding your seat. If it’s going to bed, who cares. If it’s for a meeting, it’s rude. If someone you are expecting is late, it’s annoying.

  10. One thing that always gets me about people who are always late ,
    Mostly they leave work early if they can
    Mostly they never seem to miss their plane to their holiday destination
    Mostly they lie because they do come early;)
    And they are the worst people on the planet if you are ever late for them.
    Fortunately or unfortunately my teacher my mum taught me to never be late and always let the person your supposed to be with know if you are going to be . Waiting looking out of the window is something I always tend to do ( breed by her) when I know they are late people coming :rolleyes: .
    It’s nice when buses and transport is on time isn’t it :thumbsup::hattip:

    In all honesty. I am seldom late, and dislike people being late.
