Nitpick: I would absolutely believe a chronically late person who said they had a flat tire, unless they also had a history of lying.
If they consistently "lost track of time" or "got caught up doing X" but they one day get a flat, why wouldn't I believe them?
I don't know if or how this affects the analogy.
- davidgrenier 8y agoTrust is earned and spent. If you regularly make commitments to be somewhere at some specific time and fail to meet that commitment you loose people's trust. You can't do much over the behavior of people's whose trust you've lost, so if they don't believe your flat tire story, too bad for you. How is systematically not meeting your time commitment not straigth up lying?
