Post by Kevin GleesonI've tried to explain that to my 24 year old flatmate for the past 3
years. She never turns up on time. We had to or you wouldn't find the
person. She has no concept of this.
I ended up saying "You text me when you are actually on the way and
I'll tell you where I am".
And this is the nub of it, IMO. Back In The Day {tm} if someone said
meet at 8pm in such-and-such a place, people got there OK, and pretty
much on time.
Nowadays, it's just too easy to be lazy, incompetent, selfish, to not
really worry about where and when you need to be somewhere. Can't be
bothered to find the place? Just call. Can't be arsed to organise
your life to get to a pre-arranged meeting on time? No, problem - be
an hour late, but as long as you call on the mobile, that's OK, right?
Post by Kevin GleesonShe spent more time planning what she was going to do than actually
doing it. I would call her Rimmer when she did that but I don't think
she quite got the reference. In fact I think she probably thought
more of an unsavoury sex act knowing her.
But you never found out? Shame...
