Am not sure I would hang about until 9.30.
As others have said would give it 15 mins then go and expect an apology.

I was just going to say that 15 minutes would be acceptable.

Just after 9 ,to me is anything up to 6/7 minutes past.
Anything after that needs to be explained with an apology .
I hate bad timekeeping.
It is insulting and seems to say their time is more important than yours.

Just after 9 imho would mean a few minutes past if it is going to be half an hour later or 40 mins that needs to be specified. After all 40 minutes past nine is also 20 mins to ten, so hardly just aft nine.

9.05, even 9.10 but certainly not as late as 9.30
I feel your pain

Does 0935, even 0940, count as "just after 9" when an arrangement has been made? Especially when there's no message explaining lateness.
