I really hate it when people say:
"FINISHING SOON!"
"SHOULD BE QUICK"
"AH VERY FAST ONE!"
"WILL BE THERE SOON"
"SHOULD'NT BE TOO LATE!"
Its a pathetic attempt to try and quell your waiting friend/partner/family member's impatience.
But is all BLUFF!
Will be there soon= I just left my house, rushing to hail a cab now, I'm sorry but you'll just have to wait, dipshit.
I can't say that I have'nt been guilty of this disgusting behavior.
The things is, I've been brought up having punctuality inculcated into my puny 7 year old brain by my militant mother.
But through the years, I realise that her careful upbringing has been fruitless.
Taking cues from
a) Housemate who is perpectually 1 hour late
b) Secondary school friends who arrive 2 hours late (imagine the days of pagers! us furiously alphanumerically texting them messages on pay phones)
c) Friends arriving late for parties
d) Late dinner guests at weddings
I've learnt...why should I give a flying fuck?
They however are not to be blamed.
My nonchalent demeanor has played a huge part in my failing value system.
And not give a damn I have.
Yet I feel really annoyed when people are'nt punctual.
Yep, Double standards you say.
Somewhat self righteous and selfish.
Rectify.
Rectify I shall.
I will now resolve to be ON TIME!
Don't give me your bullshit excuses.
It's either you make it or you don't.
Let's all make a concerted effort to be punctual.
