Are you a stickler for time? Do you just have chronically late friends and family members? Or both? I've heard from too many people about their friends canceling at the last minute and I get it, we all have things to do. Also, sometimes things come up! We've all been there and so we can empathize and be flexible. But here's what goes through our heads when you play this little game with us on a regular basis.
1. A couple of minutes pass by.
I mean, I'm pretty sure we said 6:30 but it's cool. They're probably on their way.
2. Fifteen minutes pass by
But like... where you at though.
3. A text
Oh, they must be here.
4. You read the text
Oh, but they're not coming. Or are going to be forty-five minutes late.
5. I literally just got ready and I am so put together.
Your outfit is cute. Everything is put together. You're ready to go.
6. My hair smells so good
Literally like strawberries or coconut. Or both.
7. And you couldn't you have told me earlier, why?
I could have made other plans! I don't have all the time in the world.
8. You couldn't have just let me know?
It literally takes five seconds to send a text.
9. Are they not into me?
"Maybe they don't like me. Or they don't care enough to make time for me. Or they're spies."
10. Wait, what are they actually doing though...
"But actually... what if all my friends are having a giant party tonight without me."
11. When you want to let them know how you feel
12. But instead you don't, and send a really understanding, friendly.
"WTF is wrong with you? Why you doooo?"
*deletes text*
"Okay, no worries! I totally understand!"
13. Even though it's the fourth time it has happened.
Dealing with chronically late people like...
14. Am I overreacting?
Things happen, we have to understand that. Sometimes unforeseen things come up and we have to be flexible. It's not the end of the world. But that doesn't mean we can't be annoyed when it happens constantly.
15. Nope.
*Preach*
16. When they send the 'Sorry' text.
Ookay. I guess it's okay.
17. Or when they don't.
Hmmmm... are you forgetting something?
18. When they ask you to come pick them up.
No thanks. Not today. Next time figure out your plans before hand and let me know.
