It doesn't matter if it's work, friend, family or someone new, I always try to be there on time. I'm not sure I understand the last question, but if you're not going to be on time, then it's only courtesy to call and let the person know and give an estimate of how late you think you'll be.

Manners and respect are how I conduct myself, and I expect the same of others. I respect my time, and the time of others, so I would be punctual and would arrive at 6:50..... but then, I will always confirm the other person is still attending a few hours before the planned meeting time.... and thats the case wherever I know that person from.

If we have a meeting for 7pm, we try to always be on time, or a minute early, but never late . It's a sign of respect. - Posted from rhpmobile

If it's with someone I've never met, or somewhere I've never been, I tend to arrive a bit early, so I can calm my nerves and scope things out a bit. If it's with people I know, I'll message if it looks like I'm going to be a bit late - anything more than about 10-15 minutes. I usually try to message before the meet time too, so say at 6:45 "hey, sorry I'm going to be a bit late but I'm definitely on my way. I'll hopefully see you by about ..." - Posted from rhpmobile

I try to turn up right on time, or as close as possible to it. Normally to account for variability of travel time, I'll plan to be early, and if I am, I'll grab a bite to eat etc and/or take a short walk/rest beforehand. One event was cancelled an hour after I had already left home for it. Lucky I checked my sms's while driving, or I would have made it all the way there. So as for turning up without contact, I would prefer to double check it's still going ahead, at times closer to the arranged time.

always on time, if not 5-10 mins early. If I know I am running late, always text or call and let others know ETA. I have a couple as friends who are always late....not always send a text to me either.......Last time they did that to me we started without them.......

No one is game enough to own up to be a tardy so-and-so. I know you're out there. Own up. I promise not to what you with a pocketwatch I'm always early - and people (if on a meet) always say I must be keen. But the time I turn up has no correlation to my keenness (but I don't tell them that)

With people I know? I almost always need to send the "sorry I'm running late" text. My life is super busy, and my friends know I have a flexible relationship with my alarm clock. ;-) - Posted from rhpmobile

it seems that no matter how hard I try, I am generally late to most things. It might only be 5-10 minutes sometimes, other times it's longer. It is not out of disrespect to anyone or their time but with trying to get ready, organising kids and then traffic, sometimes it just happens. If I am meeting a friend for a coffee etc, it's no big thing. A guy for a meet then I will do my best to let him know (if we have exchanged mobile numbers) but I will always apologise. Now that the kids are getting older, it is easier to be on time but it can still happen...

I'm learning to be a little more relaxed if others are late for a good reason! For myself, I'm always on time! If for some unforeseen reason I'm late (something I'm not in control of) I'll ring or text and let other know :) Mary xx

I hate timelines, but will always be texting leading up to the meet. If they fall off the radar in the hours leading up, I don't sweat it, though that rarely happens. I'll always say between whatever time and whatever time, let me know when you're getting close, something like that, or tell them if they're going to be later, no worries, just give me a bit of notice, it's fine. I'm always late myself, so never fuss about it

I would turn up on time sharp, if not earlier than. That is when I'm meeting a date, or my friends/family. However, I am always 10-15 minutes early if it's a medical appointment, or a professional appointment such as job interview, etc. I dislike being made to wait, so I won't make people wait. However, having said the above, I can understand and accept if my friends, or family members, or a date, turned up late once in a while with genuine reason. Let's be honest, who hasn't at all turned up to an agreed meeting late in their lives? And things do happen unexpectedly occasionally. For example, if I was to meet someone at 6pm in the city and that person was coming all the way from a suburb that is an hour drive in distance, then I would accept their reason of "bad traffic" if they turned up at 6.30pm instead. Peak hour traffic is a hell of a nightmare even if you leave enough time to get from point A to B! Hence, I will be flexible in making judgment of people's "bad traffic" excuse 😛 - Posted from rhpmobile

Quoting 'Stirry' I was thinking more along the lines of "my cat just died!!" Kind of emergency lol which of course works both ways ;) Ok so you might need an excuse to leave. But while you are out, who would alert you to the fact your cat had died? (Assuming you live alone). How would you know? Thinking Schrodinger's cat here :)

I'm always on time or early unless some massive disaster strikes although i can't remember being late in recent times. I am unimpressed if my meet is late but I understand sometimes these things happen. I will wait for a reasonable amount of time . If i even think i'm going to be late i will call.
