[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=ciaojenny]I find people who are habitually late extremely rude and self centered.[/quote]

I think it depends on the reason - I have really horrible time awareness (I have ADHD) and struggle to transition from on thing to another, which often makes me late.  For someone who thinks, "oh, it's no big deal if I'm 15 minutes late" and plans accordingly, that is rude.  I am often a couple minutes late but it's because I have a harder time knowing how long something will take.  I try to plan in cushions for myself (work backwards, if I think it will take me 15 minutes to get ready I start getting ready 30 mins before) but it still doesn't always work.  Especially with 2 little ones.[/quote]

No. It actually doesn't depend on the reason.  you are aware of it. Plan accordingly. [/quote]

My wish for you is that you never loose your typical sense of time.  Unless you are someone who has a brain difference that impacts how you perceive time you could gain from realizing people are different.  I understand and do plan accordingly, but most people can accurately judge he passing of 5 minutes and that is a challenge for me and others with ADHD.

Oh christ on crutches, now we have to worry about offending someone who perceives time differently? What do we have time privilege?

You do realize unless someone is pointing out one particular snowflake they are usually just talking about snow in general, right? Or is there some syndrome that keeps people from understanding [i]that?[/i][/quote]
