What if they get stuck on the train? There are other, non-lazy reasons for being late.
If I'd taken a 30 minute train ride to come and see you, been delayed by 10 minutes, then find you're gone when I arrive I don't think our friendship would last very long.

That was valid before cellphones, nowadays I expect people to call/message if they're late. I suppose that reading Fuxy's post literally implies that no such exception is allowed, but I assume it's not meant to be an inviolable rule.

Don't move anywhere with an underground subway system then...

Our underground subway system here in Lisbon has cellphone coverage.
Lucky! NYC's subway has complete radio silence.
But people in NYC know that the late party might not have cell phone coverage. Conventions adapt, life goes on.

If you don't show up in the amount of time you specify I'm gone.
Respect.
And I hold everyone to it. If you don't show up in the amount of time you specify I'm gone.
I'm Romanian too I just hate wasting my time. My friends learned that really quickly.
