I chalk it up to the fact that I would be understanding if someone was running late for something, so I hope they would be for me as well.
No no, I'm not talking about that either! I'm just saying, that's where my hatred of lateness stems from, I think. It all depends on the situation. Like, if I get a call saying, "I need to get gas, and I didn't realize it." Okay, that's cool. It happens. But if you were just dilly dallying, no. It's not okay. And it also depends on how many times a person has done this as well. If they are on time 99% of the time, and one day just loses track of time...okay. That's okay.

Like, the other day one of my co-workers (who relieves me on Sunday afternoon) called me because his tire was almost flat, and he had to stop to get air, and was 10 minutes late. That didn't bother me, because it happens. But if he was 10 minutes late because he was too busy playing WoW with his adult son and wasn't paying attention to time, yeah, I'd consider that inconsiderate.
