Everyone knows that it's ugly to be late. And to create a pleasant impression about yourself, you should try to carefully avoid such situations.
Although, according to the rules of etiquette, there is a certain schedule of delays, and a well-educated person knows perfectly well that you can be late, but you need to know where and how much. For example, at a gala dinner, you can be late for 20 minutes, but a business breakfast only takes 10 minutes.
In any case, the delay and lack of punctuality will negatively affect the opinion of you and can seriously impair your authority. We have collected 16 frank confessions of people who are not familiar with punctuality. But are they so happy that they are always late? Let's check!
1. First of all, everyone knows that in life there are unforeseen situations, which, unfortunately, get out of control and lead to a delay. Others should remember this and understand.
I tried.
2. And in general, you sometimes need to be late. At least from the principle and specifically.
Welcome!
Suppose, why come to your own party on time, if you can be a little late? Guests will be delighted!
3. And let's admit, there is no such thing as "too early." In general, it does not exist in principle.
I came.
4. By the way, being late is often a rescue from an embarrassing situation.
5. All latecomers admit that being late sometimes saves from an unwanted meeting or a date. Ugly, of course, but it works without fail!
6. Difficult to admit, but 5-10 minutes of delay can cost you something interesting and exciting. For example, watch your favorite movie, which is shown on TV at the very moment when you need to go out.
I can not accept all this uncertainty
7. And, of course, it is worth recalling that being late for an hour somewhere allows you to watch your favorite TV series at home longer.
8. It is necessary to be lenient towards the latecomer. And suddenly, he just spent so much time to get together and look dignified?
Great, I have nothing to wear!
9. Believe me, all those who are late will always give you an opportunity to speak out with their drooped head about their debauchery and non-punctuality. But you know, this will not change anything.
10. By the way, the alarm does not guarantee accurate observance of time by non-punctual people. The whole matter is in a special relationship: he turned off and fell asleep.
Oh, too early. This is bad.
11. But sometimes conscience wakes up late, and they seriously think about the impermanence of their existence and about the frightening fate of eternal delay.
12. Although they firmly believe that, one day, it will all end and true justice will prevail.
13. It must be remembered that by negotiating a meeting with a non-punctual person, you risk waiting for it much longer than the scheduled time. Therefore, just come later!
What does it mean?
14. As perpetually late persons admit, there is a magic aura that constantly makes us believe that the planned one will happen on time.
15. And, frankly speaking, such people should be simply understood and forgiven, because they can have more important things than the correct distribution of their time.
Forgive me!
