I‘m exactly like this. The only way that helps is to get ready 30-60m ahead of the time I had originally planned to, and then wait it out. But since I hate to wait on other people, I don’t do this as often.

So you’re saying that your 30 minutes is more valuable than mine? And that your hatred of waiting on other people is more important than whatever you were supposed to do? I don’t care if you’re 30 minutes late once or twice and you tell me, but if you tell me “oh sorry I’m late, I saw that I could have left on time but I’d rather have you wait on me than be on time” then that’s an instant way to piss anyone off.

Exactly. I believe that if people were forced to say this phrase nobody would be late anymore.
(sorry for the short comment but I came to say the same)

I didn’t mean to say that it’s good that I‘m behaving this way. And I‘m not responsible for every emotion I have, you know. Some things need working on before you can get in control of them.
EDIT: Removed comment about downvotes.

The guidelines ask that we don't comment on downvotes:
> "Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading."

I apologize and retract my comment - cannot delete it now.
Do you have a bot that looks for downvote keywords?

Nope. Just read a lot of comments.
