Waiting

I am so strict to time, it means a lot to me. I used to get bothered when somebody is late when having an appointment with me, but not any more because they all do it. My friends are late all the time and I know that they will be late still I go on time and wait. When I have an appointment with some one I’ll be there 10-15 minutes before, never late, never on time, it must be before. I am used to that, it’s functioned in my mind, that being late means no respect. I had to visit my Doctor this week, my appointment was at 4:30 pm and I was there at 4:20 pm. I had to wait until 5:00 pm to be called. They do that to me all the time. When I interned his office I said: ''I have been waiting for more than 30 minutes''. The Doctor replied: ''Yes I know that, but no harm the nurse told me that you were enjoying your time reading''. I said: ''I was reading to not get bored and to not waste my time in waiting; I come 10 minutes before my appointment because I respect you and feel it is not appropriate to be late, and you make me wait for 30 minutes and sometimes more''. I will go to him again; well I did go to him yesterday and he made me wait.
