Why Im Always Late Wait But Why. I woke up this morning to a text from Andrew. It was a link http elitedaily. Intriguing. Nothings better than the headline, The reason people are bad quality that describes you is actually because theyre good quality. I got reading. And as it turns out, late people are actually the best people ever. Theyre optimistic and hopeful People who are continuously late are actually just more optimistic. Research Resources.

Simply put, theyre fundamentally hopeful. Theyre big thinking People who are habitually late dont sweat over the small stuff, they concentrate on the big picture and see the future as full of infinite possibilities. Late people just get it People with a tendency for tardiness like to stop and smell the roseslife was never meant to be planned down to the last detail. Remaining excessively attached to timetables signifies an inability to enjoy the moment. By the end of the article, I had never felt prouder to be a chronically late person. But also, what the hell is going on Late people are the worst. Its the quality I like least in myself. And Im not late because I like to smell the roses, or because I can see the big picture, or because the future is full of infinite possibilities. Im late because Im insane. So I thought about this for a minute, and I think I figured out whats going on. The issue is that there are two kinds of lateness 1 Okay lateness. This is when the late person being late does not negatively impact anyone elselike being late to a group hangout or a party. Things can start on time and proceed as normal with or without the late person being there yet. Not okay lateness. This is when the late person being late does negatively impact otherslike being late to a two person dinner or meeting or anything else that simply cant start until the late party arrives. Haltiwangers article is I hope talking mostly about okay lateness. In which case sure, maybe those people are the best, who knows. But if you read the comment section under Haltiwangers article, people are furious with him for portraying lateness in a positive light. And thats because theyre thinking about the far less excusable not okay lateness.

X post to discuss not okay late people. When it comes to people who are chronically not okay late, I think there are two subgroups Group 1 Those who dont feel bad or wrong about it. These people are assholes. Group 2 Those who feel terrible and self loathing about it.

They think theyre a little more special than everyone else, like the zero remorse narcissist at the top of Haltiwangers article. Theyre unappealing. Not much else to discuss here. Hotwapi.

Theres not really any other explanationchronically late people are actually insane. Punctual people think all not okay late people are in Group 1 as the comments on this post will showbecause theyre assuming all late people are sane people. When a sane person thinks a certain kind of behavior is fine, they do it. When they think its wrong, they dont do it. So to a punctual personone who shows up on time because they believe showing up late is the wrong thing to dosomeone whos chronically late must be an asshole who thinks being late is okay. But thats misunderstanding the entire second group, who, despite being consistently late, usually detest the concept of making other people wait. Let call them CLIPs Chronically Late Insane Person. While both groups of not okay late people end up regularly frustrating others, a reliable way to identify a Group 2 CLIP is a bizarre compulsion to defeat themselvessome deep inner drive to inexplicably miss the beginning of movies, endure psychotic stress running to catch the train, crush their own reputation at work, etc. As much as they may hurt others, they usually hurt themselves even more. I come from a long line of CLIPs. I spent around 1. I was still waiting for my mom. When she finally arrived, instead of being able to have a pleasant conversation with her, Id get into the car seething. She always felt terrible. She has problems. My sister once missed an early morning flight, so they rescheduled her for the following morning. She managed to miss that one too, so they put her on a flight five hours later. Killing time during the long layover, she got distracted on a long phone call and missed that flight too. She has problems. Ive been a CLIP my whole life. Ive made a bunch of friends mad at me, Ive embarrassed myself again and again in professional situations, and Ive run a cumulative marathon through airport terminals. Its often the same story, something like this Ill be meeting someone, maybe a professional contact, at, say, a coffee place at 3 0. When I lay out my schedule for the day, Ill have the perfect plan. Ill leave early, arrive early, and get there around 2 4. That takes all the stress out of the situation, and thats ideal because non stressful commutes are one of my favorite things. Itll be greatIll stroll out, put on a podcast, and head to the subway. Once Im off the subway, with time to spare, Ill take a few minutes to peruse storefronts, grab a lemonade from a street vendor, and enjoy New York. Itll be such a joy to look up at the architecture, listen to the sounds, and feel the swell of people rushing byoh magnificent city All I have to do is be off the subway by 2 4. To do that, I need to be on the subway by 2 2. Chemistry The Central Science 10Th Edition Helpful. So I have to leave my apartment by 2 0. Im set. What a plan. Heres how itll play out if youre new to WBW, youre advised to check this out before proceeding CLIPs are strange people. Im sure each CLIP is insane in their own special way, and to understand how they work, youll usually have to get to some dark inner psychology. For me, its some mix of these three odd traits Im late because Im in denial about how time works. The propensity of CLIPs to underestimate how long things take comes out of some habitual delusional optimism. Usually what happens is, of all the times the CLIP has done a certain activity or commute, what they remember is that one time things went the quickest. And that amount of time is what sticks in their head as how long that thing takes. I dont think theres anything that will get me to internalize that packing for a week long trip takes 2. In my head, its eternally a five minute task. You just take out the bag, throw some clothes in it, throw your toiletries in, zip it up and done. Five minutes. The empirical data that shows that there are actually a lot of little things to think about when you pack and that it takes 2. Packing is clearly a five minute task. As I type this, thats what I believe. Im late because I have a weird aversion to changing circumstances. Not sure what the deal is with this, but something in me is strangely appalled by the idea of transitioning from what Im currently doing to doing something else. When Im at home working, I hate when theres something on my schedule that I have to stop everything for to go outside and do. Its not that I hate the activityonce Im there Im often pleased to be thereits an irrational resistance to the transition. The positive side of this is it usually means Im highly present when I finally do haul my ass somewhere, and Im often among the last to leave. Bib. Me Free Bibliography Citation Maker.
