How long do you wait for someone when they do not show up on time to meet you for something that has been planned in advance? (Page 2)

Question

You've planned to meet someone, somewhere and you show up right on time or a little bit early. They are not there and are unresponsive to your calls and texts. I am always on time, I am  NEVER  late. I will not disrespect someone else and their time no matter what. Yet I think I've been being way too nice because on average I wait around at least 1 to 2 hours, due to how far I have to drive to get into the city.  Yet no matter how long I wait, as soon as I leave to go home, it never fails. I get a text saying "I'm so sorry, (Insert stupid ass lame, probably lying excuse) are you still there, are we able to still meet?" Usually, this is 5 to 15 minutes AFTER I gave up waiting for them. Then if I say no, I've already wasted enough time and energy they think I'm a bitch and mean for not turning around and going back to meet them. The most common excuse I hear is, that they fell asleep and just woke up.  I just want to say are you too stupid to know how to use an alarm? 😂 because they literally KNOW I have to drive 80 miles + round trip just to go into the city to meet them and they be disrespecting my time, money and all that.  I don't feel they are sorry at all and have started calling people on that, when they say they are so sorry, I say  "No you are not, or you would of been there on time."   How long do you wait around for someone?

30 minutes tops, but if it’s at a place to eat I will just eat by myself and if they happen to show up before I’m done then I guess I stay a little longer but I will be annoyed if they don’t have a real good excuse

If you don't answer my calls or texts, you have 10 minutes before I leave.

Without notification (phone or text) of the delay, I will wait 15 minutes.

That depends on their travel time and if there was an accident on the freeway. If there was no bad traffic, then they have no excuses. Check your local traffic reports.

Depends. If you call or text in a TIMELY MANNER, then I will wait. If you DON'T, then 15m and I'm out. If it happens repeatedly, then your ass is grass.

You need to get a booth at the farmers' market. Or start selling on Etsy. If it's tutoring, just rent a space and start holding group classes (paid in advance).
