    Default Late

    This morning I was taking a taxi to school. I called at 8:00 and by 8:30 they still weren't here! Even after I rang to complain three times. So I missed school. I was really annoyed.

    Anyways. What's the latest you've ever been to work, school or anything really important?

    The latest?

    Not showing up. At all.

    And still somehow retaining my job. =)

    15 minutes to work, my mom was asleep.

    I'm of the mindset, if I'm not half an hour early, I'm not on-time.

    I'm rarely late. If I am late it's because I wasn't the one driving.

    Why'd we want to piss you off?

    When I first transferred to my University I still lived and worked in Corona, 30 miles away. I'd often leave work two and a half hours before class was supposed to start, but traffic was so bad on the 91 freeway I'd miss class entirely. That means it often took me four hours to dive thirty miles. I hate California freeways! I hate driving! Grr.

    Now this thread has made me angry.

    I once arrived at school at 3.10. It finished at 3.30.

    I've been 40 minutes late to a 50 minute class due mostly to abnormal freeway traffic.

    When I was in high school I tried to show up as late as possible to a period without getting in trouble for it. I think the latest I got must have been close to 30 minutes.

    Haha, I wouldn't have bothered!

    I've been up to an hour late to work before. I just call and say what's up and they say "okay!"

    If I'm late to school or any other place that I hate, I'm really happy. ^_^ But if I'm late to a place I like or need to go to, then I'm really sad. ;_;

    I only went in because I was supposed to be going back to somebody's house after school. :laugh:

    I think the latest I've ever come to school was 12:24. Class ends at 2:11 and we had a free day that day.

    If I was going to be late for class, I'd often get so nervous about it that I'd decide it was better to just wag class entirely.

    I marvel at the fact that I could scarcely make it to a 10am class, but I am always at work at 7.45 - 8am.
