So, I had said before a big pet peeve of mine is when someone is late and today I experienced it with a person and this led me to wondering how late does a person have to be, say for meeting up for tea/coffee, before you reach the point of "screw this," and get up and leave? This is with the understanding that the person you'd be meeting up with:
a) has a cellphone and can text or call you to let you know she's running late, but doesn't do so,
b) is aware you are on a time schedule, and
c) she was the one who picked the day, time, and location.
What is the time frame of granting the person a bit of slack vs. feeling like the person is being rude/clearly not respecting that you have other things to do?
