riontelGreat article which finally allowed me to put a name to the chronically late people in my life. And no, they are not insane.
Quote:
... The issue is that there are two kinds of lateness:
1) Okay lateness. This is when the late person being late does not negatively impact anyone else—like being late to a group hangout or a party. Things can start on time and proceed as normal with or without the late person being there yet.
2) Not okay lateness. This is when the late person being late does negatively impact others—like being late to a two-person dinner or meeting or anything else that simply can’t start until the late party arrives.
...
When it comes to people who are chronically not okay late, I think there are two subgroups:
Group 1) Those who don’t feel bad or wrong about it. These people are assholes.
Group 2) Those who feel terrible and self-loathing about it. These people have problems.
