The majority of people that I know are bad with time. Often, they are trying to perform numerous tasks at once and try to fit things into their schedule. This habit has a detrimental effect on timing, situations, and people. I have one friend who is perhaps the worst person when it comes to time management.
I called my friend on Saturday afternoon to ask if he could pick me up from the bus station. He agreed and said "Call me when your almost there." I called him when I was nearby. He explained to me that he would be on his way in a few minutes. Once I got off the bus, I went to McDonalds to escape the cold. As I waited in McDonalds, I notice the manager looking at me as if I do not belong there. I decide to call my friend back to determine how far along he was. He stated, "Yo! I had to wait for my sister to come but I am leaving my house now." Now, I have already been waiting in McDonalds for over half an hour. I am also forced to buy some nasty food from this place so the manager would stop looking at me. After I finish eating, I call him back and he explained that he was getting on the freeway and would be to me in five minutes. After another 15 minutes he arrived and I wanted to kick his ass. Overall, I waited over a hour for this guy. I could have easily called a cab or found another ride. Whats wrong with saying you have prior engagements or other things to do?
