Why are my friends so inconsiderate? A friend just got a new digital camera and we were supposed to go out and shoot. We were supposed to meet at 11am. It̢۪s now 1:15 pm. I̢۪m still sitting here waiting. If I̢۪d known he was going to be 2 hours late, there are things I could have done. Sheesh!! It seems everyone I know runs on a different clock than me. I̢۪m always on time and everyone else is always late. Not just a few minutes. We̢۪re talking a half hour or more.

Sorry, done venting

That drives me insane. I'm habitually prompt! Always! I think people who are late are rude and inconsiderate.

I also hate when people are playing with my time. I have no free time at all, and I disregard the people who are playing games with time.

However, last autumn I was spending my holidays in Egypt... and I felt that time has stopped there. I didn't care about time, and when I went for a small walk, I returned 6 hours later after a cool diving. And, noone cared. :-)

I beleive I have born in the wrong country. People don't have time to live... it's a shame.

After 30 minutes I would of gone out on my own. Sure it can be more fun going shooting with someone but .....

I have a huge problem with folks being late and not calling ahead to say they're running behind or cancelling. I'm almost always a bit early.
I agree with cpanaioti....I would have gone out by myself after 30 minutes

I am so with you guys on this, I had people being late and not letting me know. I would have called ... and if I could not get hold of them gone ... its not so much impatience but wanting to maximise the time and light available.
