Being late to events is annoyingly normal

Being late is disgustingly normalized among friends

Less so for work and such, more so among friends. It seems like most friend groups always have a handful of people who just show up 15-30 minutes late to hang out.

I find it incredibly disrespectful, mainly when they are CONSISTENTLY late. I think it’s more normalized among friends because it’s not professional in any way.

Whenever I speak up and try to call them out for being consistently late and inconsiderate, it’s casually brushed away.

I can’t fathom the idea of being late to anything, and am always apologetic on the rare occasion I am.

Edit: Kids and busses are a different story, i dont have any friends who have to deal with either, I would understand if this was a reason.
