Very good article on lateness, or in other a words "a less ranty and more intellgent deabte, than mine"

There is no greatness to my lateness which talks about how people eternally late seem are not doing it because they are selfish.

“Contrary to popular belief, it’s really not about being selfish or believing their time is less important than yours,” DeLonzor says. “These are people who are late for the gym, job interviews, even holidays. It’s about their inability to control their own time.”

Studies suggest that habitually late people actually perceive time differently from other people.

Although I'm not accepting "I've a time perception problem" as an excuse either.

It also seemed to describe my feelings accurately too

Most people loathe latecomers. And not just because latecomers tread on their toes at the theatre or keep them waiting in pubs. It’s because they think latecomers are arrogant, power-tripping or simply disrespectful of other people’s time.

I’m sure that somewhere before on this blog you’ve described the theory of relativity and discussed, with examples, how time is not a constant and relative to the observer or something.

Which is a round about way of saying what might appear late to you is on time for other people.
