What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one? (lemmy.ml)

That really depends on if it's an exception or a consistent pattern.

    Not really. Almost nobody sets out trying to be late.

    Is that different to not trying to be on time?

    No, almost all of us are trying to be on time. But that's balanced by other concerns, like making sure we leave the house prepared, and taking public transit, and the needs of the people we're leaving as well as the people we're going to. There isn't always an "earlier" we can leave by, and not everyone is in charge of their own schedule.

    None of what you're describing is "not trying to be on time".

    You're describing an "all" situation using very specific events. You're also describing a poorly planned arrangement if the time you're expected to arrive at something is not realistic for you to be there. That's different to someone not trying to be on time to something that they otherwise could be and aren't.
