Is being unpunctual sometimes that bad?

[Anonymous]

Sometimes I arrive later and well my family and friends already know me like that. I always come if I'm saying I'm coming but not exactly on time.

Yesterday was the 3rd time I came about 15 later to my girlfriend's house. This time she sounded kind of upset. Is being unpunctual sometimes that bad? My life is kind of disorganized and so I might not come on time sometimes.

Yes, it is rude and there is not anything that demonstrates a disregard for other than one who can not get places on-time. They either are incompetent or carry only about themselves. Either way, one who is not punctual is not likely to be a good partner in life.

Yes. It's basically tantamount to being unreliable and untrustworthy.

After all, they can't trust you to be on time, can they?

Being disorganized is not an excuse. Wait until you get a job and come in late all the time. Your boss will take a dim view of that.
