Some of these late people posts excuses are almost as weird as a [Kel\_Varnson\_Latex\_Division](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-shoot-child-and-kill-your-child-in-this-situation/277759) OP. One of my favorite old threads and the first reply by **Kalhoun** is comic gold, Jerry, comic gold! @thorny_locust , we get you think you are actually physically and mentally unable to be on time. Even if we agreed with that, how can you not see that you are in the wrong about it, not to mention blaming on-time people for your problem? If 90 + % of the US population can manage to usually be on time and you can’t, that is your fault, people shouldn’t need to have special ways to deal with you. It’s the whole social contract thing, have you heard of it? Aren’t you some type of farmer? I’ve done the farm thing and it requires a lot of repetitive chores, how can you not know how long it takes you to do them? Plus, things need to be done when they need to be done, not when you get around to it. If you try to sell your crop three months later than everyone else, you may be disappointed. I just do not understand how people can not take responsibility for their actions. It will not kill you to admit this may fall on your shoulders and not everyone who has dealings with you. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-are-you-always-late/942631)._
