Gotta love when you're hungry and everybody is waiting for the last part of the family or group to show up, and when they do, they go to the food first.

My old man always said if you're not 10 min early you're late...and he held me accountable to it. Most my coworkers show up 5 to 10 minutes late. Drives me nuts.I’m very much a 5 minutes early is late person, so I get easily agitated with late people. My problem is, I’m surrounded by them. Somehow I’m the bad guy when I get upset over slow ass people. So damn disrespectful.

This is fine.. But as someone who has a fixed schedule for appointments. Late people affect others due to their inconsiderate attitude.I have given up on caring about late people. They have won in my life.
Lock the meeting room door at the appointed time and if they aren't already in the room, screw 'em. Been there done that. The message was received.Well your son, you could coach/teach to correct the problem by teaching him why it is disrespectful to the indivdual(s) he is late for. Basically it's a big F U to whoever you were meeting. It is saying I have higher priorities than the pre-scheduled meeting at the agreed upon time. I don't value your time or our time together to discuss or solve whatever it is we are meeting for. If he plays sports, does he show up late for games and practices?
For the wife, that could be a little more difficult. Of course, if it is an event/meeting you are both going to, then perhaps drive separately if she is not ready at the time needed to leave to be on time. Just let her know well ahead of time, that if not ready by this time, I will be leaving and she can drive separately.
For co-workers that are consistently late, perhaps their manager should coach them up on time management if you don't feel comfortable coaching them up.
Had a professor in college that did that. Students knew not to be late to his class.Lock the meeting room door at the appointed time and if they aren't already in the room, screw 'em. Been there done that. The message was received.
My commander would lock the door behind him for any staff meetings or briefings....even if he was early. We learned to be VERY early to meetings with him because if you were expected to be at the meeting and found the door locked you got to have a personal meeting with him afterwards. Those weren't good discussions.
It's not. Plan ahead, be considerate, and think a little. It's super easy to be on time.I am habitually late for almost everything. It’s a very difficult habit to break and at this point I’ve pretty much given up on trying.
No. I’ve had plenty of them in my life and they suck ass.I’m very much a 5 minutes early is late person, so I get easily agitated with late people. My problem is, I’m surrounded by them. Somehow I’m the bad guy when I get upset over slow ass people. So damn disrespectful.

That's very... thoughtful.I've also started evangelizing to my coworkers for them to set Outlook to schedule meetings for 5 minutes less than a normal time slot, 25 or 55 minutes instead of 30 minutes or an hour. That gives you a little bit of leeway if you need to wrap up a thought at the end of the meeting while still giving participants time for a bathroom or coffee/water run before the next meeting. Everybody I've done this with has been a big fan of it.
Wisconsin fans are also more disrespectful............because f*** Wisconsin, that's why.people who murder people are more disrespectful.
Besides, then you'd have to stand around and talk for 10-15 min beforehand and nobody wants to do that.....I can think of thousands of things more disrespectful. I'm on time. The X mins early is late people blow ass and need to get over themselves. I'm not wasting 10 mins being early so some dipshit can feel respected

Triggered again. So freakin' predictable.Completely agree.
I'm always on time.
However, I'll be damned if I'm gonna feed someone else’s ego by submitting to their request of being early.
If they want to twiddle their thumbs, have at it.
Sorry I’m so late to this thread, I was banging op’s mom and lost track of time. Hopefully everyone’s okay with my tardiness.I’m very much a 5 minutes early is late person, so I get easily agitated with late people. My problem is, I’m surrounded by them.
