I have a friend who is always late - sometimes by ten minutes, sometimes thirty, but consistently late. She knows she is, she often says to me, "Sorry, I know I'm always late." It didn't bother me that much until recently, when she said, "The only thing I'm never late for is work, because I'm afraid of being fired."
This made me feel really unimportant - yes, if you are always late for work you can lose your job. But if you are always late meeting a friend you could lose that friend. Perhaps she doesn't realise this?
I'm not sure whether to confront her about her lateness, because I don't think she is uncaring, I think she is just one of those people who leaves things til the last minute.
Should I have a talk to her about it, or just start giving her an earlier time to turn up to meet me?
