Day 233: Punctuality

Dinner Menu:
  • St Pierre aux courgettes et shi-take
  • Purée  de  panais
  • Salade verte
  • Yaourt de brebis et kiwi
One of Fianna's friends is in a new relationship and although it is mostly good one issue is that he is often quite late to their dates (to use an American concept).  I have a lot of sympathy for her.  I find it very disrespectful to the other person to be late.  In addition I haven't noticed that people who are often late are more accepting when others are occasionally delayed.  I don't really understand what the thinking is ?  That the other person's time is not important ?  That they won't notice ?  That they have a smartphone so can keep themselves busy while waiting?  A few weeks ago I wrote about respect and I feel that punctuality is an important part of that.  Accidents and delays happen but systematic lateness shows a complete lack of thought for others and their time.  I'm very happy that my wife is rarely  (if occasionally) late.
