  Sometimes there are really good reasons for being late, and for responsible people that is very

  seldom. But on the other hand there are those who are never, never, on time. You can be

  late for everything else if you want but if you are late for an appointment with me you will

  find me gone when you finally get there. It is just plain rude to expect a person to wait around

  on you to show up when you feel like it. Being on time is just a matter of self disipline. I also

  think it is a generation thing . When I was younger being late was almost unheard of. My own

  40 year old kids are habitually late, so if I want them to be at my house at a certain time I just move the

  time up an hour then they have to wait on me.

  I found lateness a quality of elders and also no so "highly regarded" jws. It was a facet of their personality rather than a facet of their status.

  Different congo's definitely had different customs for punctuality..

  When I used to travel to give Public Talks, sometimes we were sat in the car outside the Hall with 10 mins to go before anybody local turned up .and they would trickle in after I had started..(Having missed my brilliant introduction lol) My wife's current congo are very good and get it open sometimes 30 mins early and only one or two ever come late.

  Socially ? I don't know. We were never very sociable, but I do not remember there being a problem
