you arrange a certain time to meet someone, wether it be for chat, web cam fun or drink etc, how long do you give them before you call it a no show?
I'm a punctual person and believe in being early, not graced with much patience i believe when i state a time people should be there on time or better early.
we arranged to chat with someone the other day and waited half an hour for them(reasonable i think) we later learned they turned up hour and half later!
how long do you wait?

I think you have been more than reasonable waiting half an hour. If you arrange a meet I would expect both parties to be punctual, or a phone call to let the other party know that they will be late.
At the end of the day it is good manners.
Cee
I personally dont accept lateness...if someone cant be bothered to make the effort, then i cant either.
Its simple, they wanna be their at 6pm, they get their at 5:55pm...
Suppose some people's time keeping, shows you how they run their life..
Then, again...i am in the armed forces..
I tend to agree that half an hour is long enough to wait, but that during that half an hour, the 'latee' should at least make a quick phone call to let you know they are on their way. It's just good manners.
Punctuality rules! - 5 minutes is too late for us.
Thats how I met Tracy-Jayne, 'cos someone else was late so she went off with me!
You wait until the little blue tablet has worn off... and you can get up from the table without taking someone’s eye out :lol2:
and who wouldn't want to be on time to meet that "tush" foxylady...
I always aim to get to a destination for the agreed time if not 5 mins before and I would wait 1/2 hr but yes think that if you are running late and you are more than say 5-10 mins late call, just to say that you're late....
I am another one to have waited for 30 minutes,sat alone in a beer garden waiting for a meet to turn up. In hindsight I should of given them 10 minutes then walked. As the ever optimist, I believe in giving people a chance, only then to be walked over......... never again. After 5 no-shows I decided that enough was enough and changed my perspective on meets. Cinderella only belongs in fairy tales and not in real life.
Blimey there was me thinking half an hour wasnt long enough, make sure we are never late when we finally meet you guys - be extra early.
funny enough it happened to us again yesterday, arranged to meet someone on msn for a chat and they were late, didnt wait half an hour this time!
