Time Wasters!
This article makes a very good point: http://www.eniginscampaign.com/2010/08/18/time-wasters-and-how-to-stop-them/
Surely, it suggests, in the age we live in, with things so much easier in so many ways, Time Wasters should be a thing of the past, no? But alas we all know one, I even know four or five of them(some call themselves “friends” but sometimes, when they turn up an hour late, I wonder…). Someone who deliberately seems to waste your time, then laugh when you ask them why they are late. Or, perhaps, someone whose very existence seems to be a total waste of time. It’s strange indeed, but Time Wasters are everywhere, and there are probably a few good reasons why.
1) Because there are so many options in this modern day and age. And we, in the western world, have freedom to take advantage of many. Because of this, people tend to do too much, and thus end up being constantly late.
2) Because some people think that by saying Yes to many people, they can keep everyone happy, when actually the opposite of true, as nobody is happy when that person is late over and over again…
3) Because it’s actually cool to be “fashionably late”. This truly terrible saying has ruined many a romantic dinner for two, and even a few hundred weddings I wouldn’t mind guessing. Yes, we need to start taking action against the Time Wasters. Don’t put up with it people, because time is precious. Once it’s gone then we’ll never get it back!
