People who are always late

[Pekka]

Man I don't like that. I just don't. Make the effort to prepare yourself, so you're there when it was scheduled or little early.

I don't mind if someone comes late a minute or two, except if it's work, then I do mind, but more like I'm categorizing that person in my mind as a chronical 'can't be on time'-person.

Today, I had this meeting, it was supposed to be 10AM. I'm there 9.50. Then it's 10.10 and I call the person. 'Oh sorry, I can be there in 50 minutes .. 11AM. Is that OK?'. OK, first of all it's not OK because you didn't let me know, so I came here, and now I have to kill an hour? I coudl have been working this time.

So, I say OK, and wait. Then it's 11.05. I make another call. "Sorry, I'm on my way, it'll be 10 more minutes". OK... 11.15.. no one showed up.. at this point I don't even want to call him anymore, I might be interrupting his daily nap. But I have to meet that person, so I can't just walk off. 11.30, he shows up. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting?". Not at all.. I wouldn't call 1.5 hours a wait.. just a short little time, nothing to be sorry for.

DIEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Punctuality is the thief of time.

[Nikolai]

Sounds like a buddy of mine.

[Provost Harrison]

Complain to his line manager - that isn't acceptable.

[Pekka]

He kind of was the manager.

I didn't mean to say that if my friend is late a bit that it's horrible. It's OK. Happens all the time, its' cool.

But when you have to wait somewhere, like standing up and there's nothing else to do? When it's official meeting, man .. you have to be on time. It's nto the same if my buddy says, "ok I'll be over there in 10 minutes".. because I can wait and do something else in the meantime. It's fine.

But if it's 'business', then they're simply wasting my time, thus they're wasting my money as well. Unacceptable.

People who come late and don't let you know deserve punches.

[Dauphin]

I'd complain that Pekka arrived early for a meeting. Punctuality is a virtue of people who have nothing better to do. Pekka is lazy.

[Pekka]

Well, I do have work. But the priority of that meeting was high, so I skipped that time from work. Like I said, I could have been working all that time. So he stole my time.

[Pekka]

Colon, exactly! I mean things come up, you might be late for good reasons.. or even bad reasons, but you have to let people know, especially when it'¨s going to be an hour or more. Then you can adjust to that, but just let you wait there? That's unacceptable and definitely worthy of punches.

[ZEE]

Pekka

late people

people with no consideration

[Colonâ„¢]

If you agree on a meeting you're there and on time. If you have a lot of work then reorganise your schedule or simply don't agree to the meeting. If there are unexpected situations that can't be put off, then let your partner know ASAP you won't make it. Repeatedly failing to do these things shows that you're incapable to organise yourself, unreliable, unrespectful and punchworthy.

[Harovan]

Something says me, that Pekka would probably hate me.

[Pekka]

Not if we are friends.

If we worked together? Absolutely

[Adagio]

Being late is one thing, but being late without notifying those who are waiting is

I BREAK PEOPLE!

People, the collection of souls. YOu know if we truly were a collective, as in we share all the knowledge and generally just the whole being thing.. well, as in you people are my arms and legs.. well if I just smash and maim, you know, I'm supposed to get hurt from that, that means I'm hurting myself? So why does the idea of breaking people, especially smashing babies, seem like such a great idea? Or is it that I enjoy cutting me legs off? I don't care, they're dead weight, let's get rid of them! Chop the legs! Smash the babies!
