Tardiness just makes you a tard.

We would not have been friends.

Can I just talk about how much I hate lateness? If I make a time to meet someone and they are late, that says to me "I have no respect for you or your time." There is no other way to take that. There are some people that are just perpetually late, and I don't buy the excuse that it's just 'the way they are'. How about BUY A FUCKING WATCH? I know they aren't fashionable anymore, but geez...isn't respect fashionable? (Who am I kidding...of course it's not).
Then there's people that like to be 'fashionably late' to parties and stuff. If it's a huge house party--I can understand. You don't want to be the first one at a party because that is just awkward. But to a dinner party? Or a restaurant for a meal with a group? Be on fucking time. If I'm out with a group and someone is late, I will order my meal. 6:30 means 6 fucking 30. Fuck them, I expected to eat at a certain time, and someone's lack of tact doesn't deserve my good manners of waiting for tardi-tards to arrive. It's like they have to make a scene out of their entrance, as if everyone will bow down..."Your Majesty has Arrived! We may dine now". Fuck that shit. It's not my fault you can't tell time. I even set my clocks ahead by a few minutes so that I won't be late to things.
I used to date a guy that was NEVER on time. He would ask me to meet him at his apartment at 6pm, and he wouldn't show until 6:45. There I'd be, sitting like a fool in his lobby. One time I told him, "If you're more than 15 mins late, I'm going home." He didn't believe me. He was late, of course, so I left. He called me as I was enroute back to my house (Katie Kaboom-angry) and was like "Where are you?".  .....I WENT HOME, YOU DAMNED FOOL! I don't think he was ever that late again, but I dumped him soon after anyway. *high five*
If you're ever going to meet me somewhere and you're more than 20 minutes late, just turn around and go home, because I will not be there waiting for you like a fool. You might not respect me, but I respect myself!
It's simple people!
