Guys.

I will not issue a negative rating to avoid the drama. But there is a girl visiting San Diego that I had an appointment with. She txt me as I was driving asking if I was almost there. At 1 minute past the appointment she says this

“F…. Wasted my time. Blocked”

1 minute.

Well. I’m the A-hole that wasted my time driving to see her.

There's certainly all kinds on this site, both male and female.

Have you checked whether it's a simple mistake? I received texts like you did a couple times while I was driving. One time it was a Tuesday, but our appointment was for Wednesday. Another time (different lady) it was at 10:00, but our appointment was for 11:00. One lady was very gracious about it when I pointed out the mistake, but the other was not.

The way I understand this game is played is if I have an hour appointment for 2:00PM and show up at 2:05, then I only have 55 minutes remaining.
She has no reason to freak out over 1 minute, even 5 minutes, especially if you are communicating.
With that attitude, you probably dodged a bullet.

That's bullshit. What annoys me is when a bitch asks for your ETA and then isn't ready when you arrive on time. Or when a bitch takes hours to respond to your text, and then texts you with question marks because you haven't responded within two minutes of her text.

"I will not issue a negative rating to avoid the drama".

That is the biggest bunch of horse crap I have ever heard.

WTF. We share information so others are aware. Good and bad.

Sucks for anyone who isn't in this club.

Imagine if others did not rate her for this same reason. But what if they did? And you read it. Would you still schedule with her? Knowing you were a couple minutes late?

Think of the community for a moment and not just yourself.

(I made this much nicer than I originally wanted to. Don't make me go there)

Sign up for Rideshare and log in right where you're at , set the destination filter, and get your trip towards home paid. It works for me.

It doesn't matter if you're late, as long as you show up before the end and pay full price and don't expect an extension of time.

Does seem a little extreme, but there is a simple solution to this type of problem. Let's say you are headed to an important business meeting. You are driving on the freeway and Google Maps just notified you that there is an accident up ahead and your expected ETA now makes you a little late for that appointment and it recommends an alternate route that will make you just a few minutes late. If you call even 2 minutes before the scheduled meeting time and let them know that you will be slightly delayed then that is a "REASON." If you call even 1 minute after the scheduled meeting time then that is an "EXCUSE!" In the eyes of the person expecting you, there is a huge difference between the 2. It is a major sin in the business world and there is no reason to treat the situation any different here.

The policy I follow is simple: lf they call ahead of time and say they are running a little late I will not "punish" them. As long as their delay would not push them up against the next appointment I will not even consider it their allotted time that they wasted - the clock only starts when they arrive. If it would push up against the next appointment then I will need to consider the original "end time" to still be in effect; but I will explain the REASON that I must do so (don't like it when one person is leaving and runs into the next person arriving!).

If they arrive late without advance notice then one of two things will happen 1) If they at least apologize for being a little late I may let it slide. 2) If they don't apologize for being late I will probably not say a word - but I will never see them again either!

And not to pass judgment on either party in the problem originally described, but I tend to fall back on one of the core beliefs of the Dale Carnegie Management teachings: "A problem person - is a person with a problem!" Maybe that girl just got short-changed or roughed up by her last client and is now just looking for an excuse to cancel the next appointment. Just say'n! And, if you have caught the theme of several of my posts on blogs about several subjects you know what I am probably going to say next . . . sounds like a case of miscommunication, on both parties!

My inner Taurus prohibits me from being late. I have had girls be late or reschedule and I understand that everyone has a bad day sometimes, so I’ve been pretty laid back. Life’s too short to stress. I found that on the second time around I had some really great encounters. There’s always a silver lining.

Marisa_G you ma’am are amazing! You summed my feelings up on this subject perfectly. And I too operate as you would in a situation like this.

It’s hard to see past our own perspectives sometimes..

I challenge anyone to google “optical illusions” and then sit with someone and ask them what they see in the picture and then share what you first see in the picture. You’ll be amazed at the results. Something you see may be completely different than the other person. Doesn’t mean you are wrong - but it doesn’t mean you’re right either!

Anyways! Thank you Marisa for that amazing response to the OP blog

Hope everyone is recovering from cinco de mayo and having a beautiful Friday!

Anything can happen on either side of the street.

USSS ops are detailed to the second, and all of us aren’t that, so let’s keep perspective and respect on time by the minute, not nanoseconds.

5150s will be known to all eventually, just as habitual time wasters. Just be normal and respectful, ffs.
