Big "have you tried not being sad all the time" energy

    Nah. I can't stand people who are late for everything, because I somehow get there on time and early in spite of all the things trying to make me late. But every day I sit and wait for people who aren't. There's nothing stopping someone from being considerate to others and respectful of their time.

    Lack of time sense is a common symptom of ADHD. It literally breaks your internal metronome. Judging time becomes a lot more difficult.

    While it can be overcome, it requires good awareness of the underlying effect, and continuous effort to counter it. It's basically the equivalent of asking a paraplegic to just pop upstairs.

    Yes some people are just inconsiderate, but some people just honestly can't do it very well.

    "They shouldn't waste my time waiting for them, they should be early and waste their time waiting for the appointment!"

    No, but seriously, +/- 5 minutes is what it is. After that, it varies a lot on context.

    Yeah, you go to the doctor, and when everyone shows up "right on time," people later in the day get fucked by 30-40m. Show up early and be considerate of others, it's not a hard concept. That or don't make appointments you're not going to keep. You're not wasting your own time being on time to your own appointment that you made.

    That's not at all how time works.

    If a doctor has 1 hour appointments, scheduled on the hour, and everyone is 5 minutes late, the schedule is now every hour on the :05.

    Your 9:00 arrives at 9:05 and runs to 10:05, but that's fine because your 10:00 is 5 minutes late, so they're now on time. It's not cumulative at all.
