I always try to either be on time or early when I meet people, go to appointments, etc. I never really thought about it in terms of respecting peoples' time. But I would just think that I would hate to have people be late when they meet me so I wouldn't want to be late to meet them. I think it's just common courtesy.

Whether it be a date cancelation, or rescheduling, a late appointment, or any type of tardiness from any type of relationship in my life. There could always be a legitamite excuse, hence the three time rule. Any more than that, then I presume that they feel my time is less valuable than theirs, and not someone I want to be aquainted with any more. This rule has cleaned up the people I want in my life, emmensly. I have a “three flake” rule.

I used to be constantly late for meetings & dates and I always blamed it on traffic - since traffic was awful. But it occurred to me that I kept repeating the same excuse and the natural solution was to leave earlier. Now, I'm probably late to about 20% of my meetings - a whole lot better than 100%. We'll get that to 0% soon. I’m with you, David. I used to be constantly late for meetings & dates and I always blamed it on traffic – since traffic was awful.
