Lord Bates recently turned up two minutes late for a House of Lords debate.

He apologised and shocked his colleagues by immediately resigning from the House.

While this was an extreme reaction, lateness is a bad habit and it’s inconsiderate to keep people waiting. Although often not intended, it suggests the late-comer considers themselves to be more important.

Kick the habit with better planning. Allow for traffic and parking, and plan to leave early so that last-minute phone call doesn’t make you late.
