It depends on culture.
See the recent article about Brazil, where it's considered rude to arrive on time, because everybody expects you to be at least one hour late.
- sethammons 8y agoBut that would not be flaking, just being late, no? Are there cultures where completely failing to do what you said you would is acceptable?
- tomc1985 8y agoSimilar could be said for a lot of latin countries, though you are right -- they may be late but they do show up
- dfsegoat 8y agoRight. Totally get this: My folks live in the Caribbean, and "island time" is very much in effect, which means realistically expect things 2-3 hours from whatever time was agreed upon.
