Idiocy

Been getting in a row with the same person almost every day for almost a week now. Even my Facebook statuses have been like laser-guided RPGs landing on their mark on the same person. Punctuality. Ability to distinguish between right and wrong. I cannot emphasize the necessity of those enough. For being late and idiocy is something I absolutely do not tolerate.
Was in a row again earlier, over a tardy matter over being late, and in the end it seemed as though it was my fault. Look, you're late for one hour. Face it. Don't drag other people into this. You couldn't buy the things you needed. Fine. It's still your fault for putting such things to the last minute. Had you bought what you needed, you wouldn't have been late today, would you? Instead of saying things like "I had for wait for her, because she was somewhere else." or "I had to wait for her, because she was coming from somewhere else." Why can't people just face it and say, "I'm sorry I'm late, I couldn't gather the stuff I needed in time. My bad."
Okay, suppose you plan to push the blame on someone else, by saying you were late because you were waiting for them.
Very well, answer this.
Why couldn't you fucking call the person you claimed kept you waiting and tell him/her "I'm sorry, we're late, I'm going first, see you there."
Wasn't hard was it? And if you're reading this, you know I'm talking about you. you may hate me for all you want, but what has to be said must be said. This is a matter of pushing your responsibilities onto others. FFS, learn to be punctual. When Mahathir launched the "Learn from the East" plan in 1990, he meant emulate the Japanese sense of punctuality. Sadly, people have taken it wrong and they're interpreting it as an encouragement to pick up the culture.
Really. Idiocy is something I have ZERO tolerance for.
