[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am chronically late. I find that laters and waiters are pretty much split along personality lines. Type A perfectionistic overachievers who pride themselves on living by the rule of the law and being detail oriented are always on time (or early). Noe fo that is me. I do get places on time if it is critical (meeting, babysitting for someone type thing) but I don't' prioritize being on time above all else. I am not in any way put out by people coming late and I don't interpret that as disrespect in any way as I am more big picture. I am pretty flexible and adaptable and go with the flow so I often forget how much the 'rules' matter to others. I don't place the same value on time.

I also have no expectation that anyone accommodate my lateness though so I am never upset by the reactions of others.

I am pretty much one of the people you all hate. [/quote]

Yes. Yes, you are.

It must be so freeing to go through life screwing up other people's plans just so that you don't have to "place the same value on time."

Especially if you *can* get to meetings or critical things on time. This means that you consciously decide what's critical and what isn't. And clearly your friends and their plans aren't critical.

You'd be so far removed from my list of friends at this point it wouldn't even be funny. Grow up.
