I'm not QUITE as intolerant as I expressed, but I do feel that there's an element of passive aggressive stuff going on with some people's lateness-- I have a friend who is very controlling and she is habitually late. One day when she showed up an hour late for a lunch date, I said something about it, how I had been waiting and that I thought she should have let me know and she said, well, it's just a lunch date - it's not like it was important. Excuse me? Oddly she was FURIOUS with me for pointing out to her that she was always late. She never forgave me! THere was a very funny Home Improvement episode about the difference in the male female sense of direction. Tim Allen said that men have "iron boogers" in their noses that get them places. So now you've corroborated this. I think there must be something to it, even though I've also read that people's inability to get somewhere is just a failure to pay attention. My father-in-law has suffered several strokes, is barely able to follow conversations, and yet still has a phenomenal sense of direction, where my very bright son gets lost every time he gets out of SOuthlake. He calls us often from strange places saying--How do I get home? WHere are you? I don't know, I think Oklahoma. I have no sense of direction, but I know this so I always leave very early to allow for getting lost.
