'It was very awkward': Couple ditches double date after other couple shows up extra late

Time is one of your most valuable possessions, but not everyone values it the same amount. Take this couple for example: they're chronically late, and aren't about to improve things any time soon. 

When a couple shared their experience with a double date gone wrong, it sparked a conversation about what it means to be late to every event. Some people will tell you that it's just how they are. They're always late to everything, despite their best efforts. Lateness also bothers some people more than others; one person might not mind being "fashionably late" to a party, while another might take offense if someone shows up 45 minutes past the start time. It has to do with cultural expectations as well as the nature of your relationship with that person. 

I have friends in my life who are chronically late, but I just accept it as a sort of personality quirk, the same way some people talk too loud or respond to texts days late. But for other people, especially those with limited time for fun activities, being late can be a friendship dealbreaker. 

The writer of this story below, u/TXHook, is in the latter group. They wrote that they were annoyed when a family member agreed to meet up for a dinner date, only to basically be a no show. Since this OP has limited time, they really couldn't just hang around all night. 

Up next, this regular customer at a sweet shop thought he could boss the employees around, but he ended up walking out in silence and humiliation.
