My MIL is like that. When my wife was literally dying from the flu (103F temp and unable to keep water down for 3+ days), she had to put her makeup on before going to the hospital.

    I eventually figured out not only is it an image thing, but having the family waiting on her in the car to go somewhere is a power thing for her. So she gets BIG MAD if you leave the car and play video games or something to pretend you don't care about being on time either. I'm also always late to pick her up for anything when she knows I'm punctual for literally anyone else...
