i don't really care if people are late, unless it's for a plane or something, obv
i always have a book on me, and it's a good excuse to get a bit of peace and quiet. but i always lol at shit excuses for turning up to a party empty-handed. yes there WERE PLENTY OF SHOPS on your way. no, a tramp DID NOT MUG YOU FOR THE BOTTLE. no, you did NOT TRAGICALLY DROP IT AND SMASH IT AT THE END OF THE STREET. you just turned up for a free nosh. admit it. that's fine. excuses are not.

i also hate last minute cancellations with a passion, unless there is a good reason. nothing worse than booking a table/area or buying food/drinks and then people can't be arsed to turn up. if they don't want to come, that's cool, just say so in the first place. but don't let people make arrangements and then drop out with a lame excuse. my friend catherine ALWAYS does this. she starts 2 days beforehand by texting with a "headache". grrr.

I can't.
Unless they're paying you overtime. Otherwise it's because you're just a mug.

most contracts of employment will say that your working hours are X-Y "and such hours as the company requires you to work"
you have targets and deadlines. if you miss them, you are negligent and you get fired. that means working loooooooooooooooooooong hours sometimes, boy.
