Blogger and speaker Greg Savage is fed up with people showing up late and has this to say about it: No, you are not ‘running late’, you are rude and selfish. This editor has always (barring the occasional extenuating circumstances) tended to agree with Savage’s take, but your take may vary. [The Savage Truth]

I would like someone to do a study on the link between running late and depression. When it is depression related, turning up is better than giving up.

Sorry guys; was in the middle of something.

Lateness can result from anxiety or depression. It’s rude and selfish on the blogger’s part to claim such a statement.
Chris while that is true it can also cause anxiety. I know it does for me. I have so many dead lines and then have some idiot go get a coffee and have a chat with a mate before a meeting. Then that 30 mins of time wasted turns into an hour.
