Hate to be late

What's the best excuse for being late? Do you find it annoying when people keep you waiting or are you that person who makes others wait?

There are no excuses for being late. By making someone wait for you to turn up is like saying my time is more important than yours.
I’d rather be early than late. Being late causes me stress. I don’t know why but I’ve always been like this. And what’s more I cannot stand to be the one waiting for someone who is late; it’s the height of rudeness.
One should always give oneself extra time to get somewhere. Factor in traffic delays, road closures, detours or parking issues. By doing this, one never gets impatient or irritated with other road users.
My children learned from a very early age not to keep me waiting. As teenagers they knew if they weren’t at the nominated pick up zone when they were supposed to be then I’d give them five minutes grace before I’d leave them to catch the bus home.
Those were the days before mobile phones.
I believe the instant contact these days make it easy for people to turn up when they like. They believe if they’ve sent a text saying they’re running late then that’s fine.
Just don’t be late !
