Grandparents show up to 14-year-old granddaughter’s birthday party 2 hours late, get angry that they started the party without them: ‘I even called them the night before the party and reminded them that we would start at the given time.’
Every party has a threshold for when it’s socially acceptable to be late. If your friend has a daytime birthday party from 4 to 8 and you show up at 7:30, that’s a tad bit impolite. Some might say it’s also disrespectful to show up to that event at 3:40, and I’m inclined to agree. …

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s tardiness. I’m not talking about someone being late once, but rather chronic lateness that persists without resolution.

Management writes up employee for being 2 minutes late after they took on the job of 3 employees with no pay raise: ‘I genuinely thought it was a joke’
There is a scale of lateness. Not all lateness is created equal. It all depends on how late you are, what you’re late to, and who you are. If you’re an hour late to the birth of your own child, you’re chopped. If you’re 15 minutes late to a friend’s brunch with 4 other people, …

Sibling relationships are sometimes the kind that are easier to have at a distance.

We all have that one friend who’s always running a little (or A LOT) behind.
