I'm running 10 mins late, sorry!
No problem!
Aargh! Traffic is really bad. I'll be more than 10 mins late now, sorry again!!
It's OK, don't worry. I'm in the café already so it's fine
This is not my day! I'm here but can't find a place to park. I'm looking for a different car park. Not sure how long I'll be
OK, LMK when you find a place
I might get something to eat tho
Of course! I'll be as quick as I can
OK!
Found one! Be there in 10 mins
Well done! See you soon
Thx for waiting
Tips
1. You don't need to write complete sentences for text messages.
2. Use abbreviations like LMK (= let me know) or use emojis to save time writing.
3. You don't need to use full stops (.) at the end of messages.
4. Say how many minutes you think you'll need, e.g. I'm running 10 minutes late.
5. It’s good to say sorry and sorry again, but you don't need to say sorry in every message.
I'm usually on time, but sometimes I'm late because some unforeseen event. I consider it as late, when the people arrive more than 5 mins late.
I usually arrive early. because I don’t like to be late. Of course, there are eventualities that I can’t control and sometimes I usually arrive a little late. I consider it depends on the person who is late, for me it can be 10 to 20 minutes.
I am almost on time when it comes to meeting friends, going to classes, or attending events. Of course, there are some exceptions; when something unexpected happens, and I'm not able to arrive at the destination on time. For me, 15-20 minutes is considered as being too late.
I have a big problem with the delay.. Because of what my mom was doing to me when I was going to school.
And now I'm not going any way without being late. And I wish to change this, but I really can't
I'm always on time actually. I hate keep people waiting for me, on the other hand It makes me angry when they keep me waiting!
I'm usually punctual. But once I was late because my motorcycle didn't have enough gas.
I am the one who usually late when I'm going to work.I know it's not a good habit.So, I gonna change that habit as soon as I can.
