Superthread LXVIII: Honouring Sore Losers from Queensland

[Apey]

Thank God Belgium beat the US. I could not have lived with SeeJay and the thousand bandwagon US football fans on FB talking about how amazing their team is for another week.

You'll have to put up with the Kyrgios bandwagon instead...

Oh no he di'nt!

ps. I am on this bandwagon, especially if he gets to play the Fed and knocks him out.

I am sick of hearing about Todd Carney. Can we move on please!!!


I hate it when people are f**king late. If you say you're gonna be there at a certain time, how f**king hard is it to be there? Or, if you're gonna be late, send a text, or call! f**kKKK I get so angry at late people. My sister said she will be here at 9.15/9.30 this morning to drop my niece off.. so, I put an alarm on, and get up. It is 10.30 now, and she is still not here and I haven't heard from her. It makes my blood boil.

I agree in principle, but... kids.

I agree in principle, but... kids.

my sister has never been on time in her life. She had to drop the little ones off at daycare, and then was coming straight here.. pretty straight forward. Even so, if you're gonna be late, f**king call.

 

[Drew-Sta]

True, a courtesy call is not hard.

 

[muzby]

i know.. but i hate it when it is say 5 till you are due to meet someone, and they send through a text or call saying they'll be half an hour late..

surely you would have known that, say 20 minutes ago?


particularly as i'm a stickler for being on time, so will generally already be at the meeting place with 5-10 mins to spare..

 

[Alba]

Me too muz, I would rather be super early, than 5mins late. I can't stand it. When I was with my ex, he would always cut things so close, it would make me anxious. I had to start telling him that things started 15mins earlier, so that he would be ready early. I hate being late, and I especially hate being late because of someone else.

 

[Misanthrope]

I'm on the punctual train too. My family were always late for things growing up, and it stressed me no end with my ex as well - who literally got turned on by the prospect of being late for things.

I swear - she would never be as up for it as she was when we had five minutes before we were supposed to be somewhere. We fought about it a lot.

Me? I try to be places anywhere between 10-30 minutes early if it's important to me. Job interviews, dates etc. With friends or with my long-time job I'm a little more relaxed (although obviously still like to be on time).

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Also obsessively punctual - even with one child it's not all that hard.

Wrangling more than that does become more of a challenge.

I agree in principle, but... kids.

In this day and age you can still send a text or call. No excuse

I have twins and we are sometimes (ok, quite often) late but if the other party is waiting for us we let them know.

Rage on Alba!

 

[Dragon2010]

I'm punctual as well. Always like to show-up early and take into consideration any obstacles that might inhibit me being late, such as traffic and so forth.

 

[Dragon2010]

It's called a phone. Have the decency to either SMS or ring them. Simple as that.

Yep, for me it was my old man. He was constantly dicking around while the rest of the family was ready to go.

Its pretty much made our whole family into "those guys" who turn up 30mins early to everything lol. Lucky I married a person just the same

Same here. He'd like to blame it on Mum 'not having the five kids ready', but more often than not it was him not being ready because he'd been in the garden/mowing/in the shed and left getting ready too late to be able to help.

 

[muzby]

Also obsessively punctual

i'll give you that. one thing i always appreciated hanging out with you was the fact you'd be the first one to arrive for anything.. and at times the last to leave too, which was always fun..

didn't appreciate anything else though ;-)

You're welcome.

Anyone see Serena in the doubles overnight. Had a pretty major health scare and had absolutely no co-ordination. Hopefully it is nothing serious that could cause her long-term health problems

 

[Bulldog Force]

This is how I deal with late people. First meeting... I'm there on time. If they are late by say 10 mins+, then for future meetings, I will be that amount of mins late next meeting. If they question my lateness, I will bring up them being late first meeting time etc... Also what I generally do is send an SMS before I leave so they know where I am time wise and if I yet a late reply from them, I'll adjust my schedule accordingly. But I agree with everyone here, it's frustrating when you believe you're the last person on earth who believes that on time means ON f**kING TIME!!!

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

lol.

Hate to break it to you ek, but I don't think Serena is having health issues right there.

If I had to hazard a guess, looking at those images I would say that she is off her face. Probably alcohol, but with her sort of money, it could be almost anything else as well.

She is smashed.
