Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Being late for everythingThroughout my life I seem to have been close to others whose timekeeping has left a lot to be desired. It's a particular pet annoyance of mine, as I think that being late, especially for something that has been pre-arranged and I'm meant to be meeting someone, is extremely rude. My ex mother-in-law, for example, was supremely tardy (and badly organised) which invariably ended up with her arriving late for everything.
"You'll be late for your own funeral" me and the ex would joke (ironically the ex wasn't much better in the timekeeping stakes).
So it came as absolutely no surprise when she was, in fact, 10 minutes late for her funeral, due to bad traffic and roadworks.
What are your experiences of extreme tardiness?
