I am the late friend. I'm always running behind, my friends are always waiting on me and i rarely keep to a schedule. All of my friends know that about me, and yet they love me in spite of it. Here's 8 things that I'm sure you can identify with if you think you are the late friend.

1. You're used to getting ready in your car.

To save some time you may run out of your house barefoot because you just know there's going to be a red light that you can put your shoes on at. In very dire circumstances, especially outings that don't include food, you may bring a bowl of cereal along to scarf down while you're en route to whatever you're late for.

2. You're friends lie to you about when you need to be somewhere.

If the movie starts at 2:00, they told you it started at 1:00 and you got there at 1:30.

3. You have no shame wearing the same clothes for days.

Is it because you haven't had time to do laundry? Did you forget you had plans and just left in what you slept in? Were you just really comfortable and didn't want to change? Is is some combination of all of the above?

4. You have to mentally prepare and plan what time to leave.

If you said you would pick them up at noon, and you have to be there by 1, then the last possible second you can sleep until is 11:15, unless you don't shower, then you can sleep until 11:30. You don't need to shower, right? You just took one yesterday.

5. You're no stranger to speeding.

We've all done it, but you just do it a little bit more. Because you're late... all the time.

6. Your friend's response when you offer to drive:

"You know we have to be there on time or they won't let us in, right?"

"If you get pulled over for speeding it's just gonna make us more late."

7. You tend to make others late as well.

Of course we have time to watch another episode, are you kidding? Also food is gonna be expensive there, let's eat first.

8. But regardless of your inability to be on time, your friends still love you.
