Which annoys you more, someone showing up
early or late?
For me that is an easy one…early shower uppers drive me
crazy in my personal life . In my work life showing up late is worse since if they
show up early I can simply ask them to go away.
It’s just plain rude to show up early. I mean maybe 5 mins before,
but before that just go away please! Tonight a new friend of Beauty’s came over
to cottage after ski team and we agreed with her Mom to meet her at the top of
hill at 7:30pm. We had it all planned out with the girls, some sledding outside,
a soak in the Jacuzzi and a 4 by 4 ride up to the hill to meet the Mom on the
main road.
So in the Jacuzzi the girls were a soaking and then ding dong.
A full 30 minutes early the doorbell rings. Ya..Just as my hubby and I settled
for a little kiss and cuddle up in bed! (AND NO NOTHING MORE THAN THAT JUST A
LITTLE SNUGGLE OK?) Gosh I mean my UNCLE reads this blog!
So since girls are all wet and soaking I have to come down
in my pyjamas and entertain this lady I have never met for 30 minutes.
Geez…..have some manners ok? Can’t you understand I am completely antisocial at
the cottage?
So yes speaks to my unspontaneous side for sure, but time
is precious man (or lady in this case).
Showing up late is also a bit annoying, but somehow seems
much more normal for me as on the personal side as I always aim to be a wee bit
late. Now with texting it is so easy just to say “will be 10 mns late”. It
seems almost polite to me in some circumstances (a party) and in others a bit rude (dinner a deux).
At work it is unacceptable unless the people have been
warned in advance. Or you have had car accident. Or if you get your period
unexpectedly. Or if you really, really need to go for a quick pee. Heehee.
So if you please…fashionably a wee bit late, or no more
than 3 minutes early. Pretty please?
