Another gem of a thread! (I do love GN lol)
I am another one who is painstakingly early for just about anything. I always arrive long before I need to! and yes, I have a couple of friends who never seem to be on time for anything! I know who they are and I know they are likely to be late so I arrange to meet them in a place I can wander off and look round the shops. Then they phone me and say "where are you"....and I say am shopping, be with you shortly"!
I just don't like getting worked up about it or worrying too much. If I didn't actually enjoy the meetings when we do finally meet up, I would decline all invitations.
I can never understand why people think its acceptable to keep others waiting though. If you decide on a time, why not try to make it for that time?
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
