When she says “15 minutes,” when do you really expect her to arrive?

[AviatorTom]

OK Guys, be honest.

When you're girlfriend or wife says she will be there in 15 minutes, when do you really expect her?

And Girls, feel free to tell us what you really mean when you say "I'll be there in 15 minutes."

Please vote in the poll.

FYI, I usually double whatever time my wife tells me. 15 minutes becomes 30 minutes, 30 minutes becomes an hour, an hour sometimes becomes 2 hours or longer.

5 minutes

10 minutes

15 minutes

30 minutes

I expect adults to say what they mean and mean what they say. I don’t date children. So if my girlfriend says “15 minutes” then i expect her in 15 minutes. If she is consistently late, she’s history.
Being honest and punctual are foundational traits for a respectful relationship with ANYONE. Someone who consistently lies about their timeliness and/or is consistently late, they don’t respect you. I will not tolerate disrespect like that. I can’t relate to people who do.

most people... arrive around that

some will be 10... others, though

never... or an hour later

I live in NYC. whenever i walk in a store and the person tells me they are making the next batch of pizza and they tell me 5 minutes... I never tend to wait. Because from my experience, it always ends up being half an hour or more. These assholes jus don't want to lose a customer so they lie.

I'm always on time, or arrive before the stipulated time.

[KostasKouvalis]

Depends on her ethnicity. When I was in the D. R., our guides were always giving ETAs in "Dominican minutes."

If she's American, Indian or Latina, I expect her to show up an hour late, or not at all.

[Veranice]

Another fifteen so I will say thirty minutes.

[andreasderjuengere]

She runs on a different time scheme where time spans are not a topic. But she never is ''late'' - in her own way.

[OlderAndWiser]

Actually, my wife has an excellent record for being on time or early.

[lilBigPotato]

I like to add a bit of a buffer so I'm usually fine.

[xawyx-3]

I'm single, so I don't have to worry about that :P

[OneViewpoint]

If you say 15 min I expect 15 min.

[purplepoppy]

Most guys expect you to arrive before they do

[queenofcardio]
