There are few habits as annoying as someone making us wait. However, some punctually-challenged people have no intention of offending anyone. They still want to keep friends, family and bosses happy. They are often painfully aware and ashamed of the damage their lateness could do to their relationships, reputations, careers and finances.
Johnson, a doctor in New York, says his reputation for being unpunctual can sometimes be attributed to a misunderstanding of opinion. "A friend will ask me to come over, and he'll say ‘come anytime from seven.'But if I do turn up at eight or later, he will be annoyed."
Joanna a teacher in London, for whom the most distressing thing is writing school reports, never makes the deadline for herself. "I always spend weeks carefully considering everything about the reports,"she says,"just for fear that any error arises."
