Re: Time Keeping.
I am always a tad early to an appointment. Especially so when I was dating and I was to meet a lady.However, where I live, in Mexico, time means absolutely nothing to these people. They seem to regard a watch as just another piece of jewelry and a wall clock as some sort of decoration.
When a Mexican says he/she will be there at , say, 2 pm, what he/she really means is he/she MIGHT make it today.
Just one more reason why Mexico will always be a 3rd world nation.

Re: Time Keeping.
Always been a good time keeper, it was drummed into me at an early age by my mother who was always meeting someone or other. Boy did she fume when kept waiting. These days there's no excuse as a quick call or text to say your running late and what time you will actually arrive.01-07-2021, 01:42 PM

Once, just to see what would happen, I waited in the car, not inside the restaurant. She showed up, late as usual. She entered the restaurant, glanced around, and , of course, did not see me. She spun on her heel and promptly left.
