Punctuality, or lack thereof;
I was always raised that “Navy time is ten minutes before time” meaning if I have an appointment to see you at 11:00 am, I am there by 10:50 am, and, as happened today, if you aren’t there by 11:10 am, I am gone.
Now I don’t care if the appointment is to meet some skank ho so she can buy you a coffee, or a job interview, it is all always the same, if they cannot be assed to get there on time then they are all screaming the same thing at you…
“YOUR TIME AND THEREFORE YOU ARE FAR LESS IMPORTANT THAN ME!”
This is a universal truth, no regular well adjusted fucker is ever late for something they actually care about, the cunts who turn up late for coffee dates and train departures and flights and meetings and everything else are always the same, and they always tell the same lies about what they are.
The lies they use for themselves are “busy” and “harassed” and “stressed“, and the lies they use for each other are “disorganised” and “under pressure” and “lot on their plate“, but the fact is that these are all lies.
This “late” meme also applies to people who make an appointment, and then message you changing the day or time at some point before the due day and time… what the fuck? You think I should re-arrange my entire diary just so you can see me? What the fuck am I, your fucking hairdresser?
An appointment, however casually expressed, such as “Yeah, I’ll see you for coffee at Joe’s cafe next Wednesday at 11 am.” is nothing less than an informal promise, it is exactly a statement of intent, and if someone makes a statement of intent and does not follow through on one thing, then they will not follow through on ANY thing that they say they will do.
Punctuality is NOT a guarantee of good character,
however,
tardiness IS a guarantee of bad character.
You have been warned.
