[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spouse A should have done this years ago. Being late when you're meeting specific people is SO rude. Being late to a reservation is rude to the restaurant. [b]Being 15 minutes late to a 50 person backyard party? [/b]No big deal. [/quote]

But then you're not really "late" - it's just that it didn't have a hard start time. Those events are usually "12-5" or whatever, so showing up at 12:30 isn't late, it's within the window. [/quote]

No, showing up at 12:30 is late. There is no such thing as "within the window". Would you say the same thing if someone shows up at 4pm? Isn't it still within the 12-5 window? It starts at 12 and you must be there at 12 otherwise you are late. period.[/quote]

It depends on what kind of party we are talking about.

If it’s a sit down luncheon, you’d better be there at 12:15 the latest.  If it’s the sort of mingling thing where people come and go, be my guest and show up at 4.  As long as you leave by 5, it’s great.[/quote]
