If only we could charge them fees when they make a mistake.

I want to do this at my doctor's office when I have to wait an hour past my appointment time. My time is money too.

That's the sort of shit that makes me go off. 'No, my appointment was for 2 PM. That's why we agreed to 2 PM, and not "2 ish". How fucking hard is it to schedule an appointment? If he's running 5 minutes late I don't like it, but I can understand it. Anything beyond that and no.

When you came to my resto with an 8PM reso and were 15 minutes late and then had to ask why we gave your table away, then really need to learn something about time management, appointments, and how it's just common courtesy to respect other peoples time. Again, your reso wasn't for 8'ish. We told you that we only you table for 10 minutes - 15 max if it's slower, which it usually isn't. We're running a fucking business, not a charity that runs on whenever you feel like showing up.

My brother is one of those assholes that's perpetually late. Anytime he says 'Let's meet at 2 PM.' It really means 2:30 PM, probably more like 3 PM. Drives me up the fucking wall. Same with being late for work. If there was some major accident on the highway and circumstances were beyond your control than that's ok once in a blue moon, otherwise leave fucking earlier!
