Lateness

[WILF 53,543]

Is it just me because I’m weird as f**k or can anyone else just genuinely not tolerate lateness ??

Like, with me, it’s to the point that I get genuinely f***ing enraged !

I don’t understand it at all, I never wait, I don’t try and call, I just drive away if it’s a mobile thing but with things you can’t drive away from, I absolutely want to do the person damage ! 
 

Just be minimum 5 minutes early…..it’s not f***ing hard.

Id be ashamed to conduct myself like that where I can’t even manage to tell the f***ing time.

Got to admit it's one of my pet hates and even if it's a doctor's or dentist appointment i will always be 10 or 15 minutes early. 

[shaaark 11,835]

Yep, does my swede absolutely right in!

Appointments, meetings, meet ups with friends/family etc. If you can't be bothered to turn up on time, f**k off, I ain't waiting around.

I am the early nause mate i start at the airbase at 6am but am normally in by 5.15 just because I hate rushing but can wait an eternity if I need to rather sit waiting than hold people up were simple men and our word is all we have so should honour it 

[Leo Sayer 4,370]

Wilf totally agree 100% , it does my barnet inn and is also bad manners. 

[Stavross 20,736]

It absolutely drives me mad, if I arrange a time to be somewhere I’m will be there at that time, we could of arranged it a month earlier and you don’t have to remind me, I will be there when I said I would be 

[WataWalloper 5,600]

It’s the most stressful thing about my job, I arrange times for folks an try me hardest to be there, but if i got 4 garden jobs to do, sometimes between doing jobs an travelling to diff areas I either misjudged it or just run late sometimes, I always text customers forst, even when I’m on time and most are cool with it, but it annoys me cos I don’t like being late haha what can I do haha I work as fast as I can an drive normally, jist one them things I suppose. Tried starting earlier a that an it always same. Some days jist dont go to plan haha

It absolutely boils my f***ing piss .

It's nothing but lazy and disrespectful. 

I can't crack on with my job until my crew turn up , if one of them turns up late , it Normally goes like.

I hope you didn't mind me sitting here like a c**t waiting for you to get your f***ing lazy arse out of f***ing bed !!!.

And don't get me f***ing started on lazy c**ts that want to f**k around with mobile phones all day while they're supposed to be grafting..

'It's the sign of the times, they all do it, don't they.'

You'll get people saying, in defence of their 'little boy or girl, even though little boy or girl might be 18- late 20's.

As you rightly say, lazy, disrespectful twats. That's, said kids AND said parents.

We even get 40 year old blokes that can't go an hour without calling there missus,  or there missus calling them . 

I try my best to be , decent , polite , and understanding,  but f**k me it boils my piss .  

One of the lads had his Mrs call him the other morning,  because she couldn't reach the sugar from the kitchen cupboard. 

I try to smile politely and nod , while I'm thinking , just tell the thick c**t to stand on a f***ing chair.

Men have stopped being men , and they're turning into children.

And old pal of mine threw one of his lads phones out of a 10th floor window  because he was f***ing about on it all the time ! lol 

My other pet hate used to be a new bloke who was asking what time breakfast/lunch/tea time was before we had even got to the job !!…..it used to piss me right off and eventually I’d pull up at a cafe/McDonalds or whatever and say “There you go mate” and he would jump out all happy with a “won’t be a minute” and when he went inside I’d just drive away and leave him there, wherever we was in the country and never call him again !

Yep , that's another one that boils my piss.

What time do you have break ( within seconds of stepping into the truck), or what time do you put the backs up ( when do you stop loading).

My replies are always the same . We have break when the trucks full , and we put the backs up when the jobs finished.

It's as f***ing basic as that.

I don't know what's happened to blokes over the last few years . They're turning into complete fannies , that can't think for themselves,  can't stand any level of personal discomfort,  and have no f***ing idea how to do a day's graft .

I'll have blokes asking if I can take them to a shop to get lunch . I'm happy enough to wait for a minute while they grab something if we're passing a shop ,  but I'm f****d if the whole crew is going to stop working , so that we can drive around and find a shop that sells something that they fancy for lunch.

Some of them get arsey , and think I'm being a c**t , but I'm not .  I try to get through to them that your preparation for a day's work doesn't start as you walk in the gate. It starts the night before , when you make your sarnies and put them in the fridge , get your work clothes ready , and get yourself into bed early enough , so that you can get up the next day.

Some jobs allow you time to go to the cafe or chippy,  or to do this and that , but mine f***ing well doesn't.  I have to justify every minute of my day.

I’m definitely a compulsive obsessive when it comes to being on time for meetings, appointments, etc ! 
I think it is just common courtesy and a sure sign that you are reliable.

Just yesterday my missus had an appointment I was taking her to, the appointment was at 9:30 and at 9:10 I said “ come on , let’s go “.

She said “ there’s plenty time”, so I said ok, get a taxi or the bus, because I’m not going to be a party to you being late.

She had a “ face on” but got in the car. We got there at 9:25, and she was called at 9:30 !

I didn’t say anything ,but the smug look on my face probably said it all

Cheers.
