Anyone who knows me knows that I'm extremely punctual. I detest being late. I actually even detest just being on time. I much prefer to always be early.
When other people are late, it really gets to me. I'm sitting outside of a group study room in College Library, and there's a group in there right now whose reservation ends at 4 (ours begins at 4). I gave them a courtesy few minutes, but now we're going on 10, and I think courtesy time is up. The conundrum always face is, how do I gently nudge them out of the room without seeming really rude? My group needs that time in the room (that's why we made a reservation, duh.) The girl came out to check the schedule and then walked back in; my feeling is, even if no one appears to be "waiting", it's time to go.
Ok, now she's realized that we're stalking the room and is leaving, past the 10 minute mark.
I guess it could have been worse.
