I don't know why, but at some point I just stopped sweating this sort of thing. When others are late to a meeting, it doesn't really bother me. When someone cuts me off in traffic, whateva. These are all small things that just aren't worth the effort of getting upset.
I told her I have been coming to you for 15 years but don’t take me for granted.

Me? Am I ever late? Sure, sometimes. That’s inevitable even with the best intentions. But I never plan to be late. I never ‘let time slide’ because my stuff is more important than yours.
I am not talking about the odd occasion of lateness. I am talking about people who are routinely late. In fact, never on time.
You seem to give yourself much more slack than you allow others. You're not talking about people who are occasionally late, and yet you walked out on your dentist who was late once in 15 years, from the sound of it.
- megablast 16y agoDentists and doctors are always running late, if you go in the afternoons. They don't like sitting around idly, not earning money, so they set up the system this way. Most patients are in and out, but a few take extra time, and they rarely know which ones, so they just assume they are all quick cases. Always schedule meetings like this as early as you can.
- stuaxo 16y ago> But I never plan to be late. I like this idea... everybody else is planning to be late just to annoy the OP. Although TBH they seem quite easy to wind up... I wouldn't be suprised if from now on everybody that needs to meet them wouldn't do just that :)
