The Death of Punctuality






Since you can call to "alert" the other party that you will be late for dinner -


- so it's ok that now you can take your own time after your yoga class. Yeah, I could have try to wash up and leave in 15 mins, but why rush?


- so you can "clear" your emails since you were out the whole day for an event which prob ended before 5pm. No, never mind if you prob wont need 2 hours to do that, since you can also read all the usual junk and spam as well. The rest can wait one..


- so you just want to detour to grab whatever stuff you forgot to buy even if you had everyday in the past week to go get it, since the others are going to be late anyway. It's ok, you called the last person of the group so that the person dont have to go there so early and "stupid stupid sit alone there to wait..but you on your way there already? hahah..ok..you wait lor"


Just great. This was the worst experience I had with this group of friends who are perpectually late during one occasion or another. I can still recount the number of times that I have to wait for half an hour or more before one of them turns up for any of the gatherings that we have. If I make an effort to be punctual it means I'm committed to our agreement, and anything less without valid grounds will just show how lacking in that department on your part. The mere fact that you can wantonly decide what time you want to turn up without any regard for the other people who are in the agreement just show how shallow and inconsiderate that you can be.
"You can always be late also one what..."
Dont these people understand that it's too tiring to speculate how "late" to be cos you dont want to be left stranded waiting for the rest???
Grrrrwwwwwwwlll.........
