It's quite arrogant for one to think that just because someone is late, they are late out of a lack of respect for one's time. The early person upset their time was wasted is being equally if not more selfish by expecting everyone to move to their whims.

How is expecting someone to honor a mutual meeting time that they've agreed to in advance a selfish desire that everyone moves to their whims!

Because it assumes that their desire for an inviolable mutual meeting time is the only factor in the world that matters. It places their own plans on a pedestal above all other factors that might influence the plans of others.

Not that many will be reading this thread at this point, but for the record I'll add that punctuality is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Those who obsess over punctuality are inconsiderate, at best, of every other means, end, demand, and desire.
