People Who Are Always Late

Don't Get Mad! Get Even!!

😤     ðŸ˜¼
The first time my mister was late, we were going to a minor outing so, I overlooked the tardiness. Then it happened a few more times, and I began to wonder about the frequency of his lateness. Finally after being late to some important events, I realized something had to change.

We had discussed the issue and he always promised to do a better job of being on time. He always had a reasonable (to him) excuse for being late. Unfortunately, things didn’t change. They got worse.

I HAD to do SOMETHING before this craziness drove me insane. So what did I do?



The next important event we were scheduled to attend was set for a Saturday evening at 5:00 pm. Instead of telling him the correct time, I told him the event would begin at 3:00 o’clock. Thankfully, we made it to our destination in time, with a few minutes to spare.

Not much has changed as far as the mister always being late when he controls the time. As for me, whenever I want to be on time, I inform him that the event is anywhere from an hour to three hours earlier than the correct time. 

There you have it, that is how I saved my sanity.



Are you always early or always late? Is anyone close to you always late? How do you handle that?

  1. That is a good trick haha! I am usually on time, hubby not so much. If it is important I make a big deal about it ahead of time.

  2. I'm on time. My wife, not so much. If I really need her to be on time, I start harassing her about an hour and a half ahead of leaving and I don't let up.

  3. Both my wife and I are very punctual. I have a friend who is always early. Even when I make it a point to be early, he still often beats me.

  4. I will wait a stated and specified time before leaving when I have been asked to meet someone at such and such a time. After waiting as much as a half an hour for someone on several occasions, I always say now that I will wait 15 minutes past the meeting time stated and then, I leave. And I do. Leave I mean. I have had folks mad at me for leaving even though I told them I would if they did not change the time to another if they weren't going to meet me on time. MY time is as valuable as theirs. I consider it the epitome of rudeness to leave someone standing (or sitting) awaiting your pleasure. If they show up at all. One time, they didn't.
