I see your point in some of these — however as person who is chronically late no matter how much prep and lead time I give myself, I just can’t seem to get to most things on time (usually 10–15 minutes late). I’ve been this way since childhood. I’ve tried a few things but honestly it seems like from further investigation over the years perhaps I am creating anxiety around important dates and times thus perpetuating my own lateness with added stress.

That is all to say, people who are late, even consistently, are not always disrespecting your time on purpose. I try to tell everyone I meet that this is a flaw of mine I am working on but I mean no malice. The good thing is I’m super chill when someone shows up late to meet me because I know how it can be. You should read about it as it’s quite fascinating.
