Punctuality...

At 12.00pm.
Happy : Halo, triple X ar, our appointment confirmed at 2.00pm ho.
XXX : Ok ok. No prob.

At 2.15pm, Happy called Triple X on his mobile phone.
Happy : Triple X, you arrived oledi ar?
XXX : Aiyo. You arrived liaw ar. Wait ar. Im coming liaw. On the way, on the way (while
searching for his car key).

At 2.30pm, Happy called Triple X again.
Happy : Oi. Lu late liaw. Where are you?
XXX : Aiyo. Jam ar, jam ar. Wait me ar.
Happy : Warlau, I got other appointment lei. Fast fast please.

At 2.45pm, Triple X finally arrived and acted as if nothing happened, not even a 'sorry' is said.

I'm not too sure about the rest of the people out there or am I the only person who encounter issue like this most time. About 50% of the people I meet with will be late for their appointments. To make things worse, they got angry when you called them several more times, asking them to be faster as you have some other clients you need to meet with after that. Some will apologise when arrive but some just ignore the fact that they are late (as if it's your job to wait on them).

When an appointment is made at 2pm, the meeting is meant to be at 2pm instead of to leave wherever you are at 2pm, only on the way to your appointment. When the appointment is at 2pm, one should automatically be at the place as promised at that time instead of waiting for someone to call and tell them that they've arrived and only then, starting to find their way to whatever place they have agreed to meet.

When can those people learn to be more punctual...
