Call them and ask if they are okay.  Tell them that you were worried when they didn't show up.  That will force them to give you a reason.  If they don't, just let it go.  Unfortunately, that type of thing is a risk a person has to take when having a party.

IM guessing your teacher is asking you to write an essay on this.  This isn't a free essay site.  You know that, right?\n\nI suggest you stop being so lazy and do your own homework.  If you have a QUESTION, then ask it.  "lateness and its effects?" isn't a question.

I actually used this excuse with a substitute:\n"Well Mr. Wells.. you see why I don't have my homework? I was walking home from the bus stop, when I heard from rustling in the bushes.. I walked over to see what the rustling was, and to my amazement, a herd of angry water buffalo charged after me. I ran as fast as I could, until I pulled a pogostick out of my pocket, and I bounced all the way to the end of the street. The buffalo stopped because I was bouncing so high, but as soon as I got a'hoppin' a pig flew out of nowhere and started eating my hair! In all the confusion, I dropped my homework, which is why I don't have my homework today."\n\nI said it with a serious face and used expressive hand motions to add to the story. The teacher didn't even care that I didn't have my homework after I told such an in-depth and creative story liek that.\n\nAmazing that it worked too, because I'm a Freshman in Highschool.\n:D

People who are always late get on my last nerve.  Why is their time more valuable than mine?

I am guilty of that myself.  Not every time but sometimes. They makeyou wait 24 hours, that is the problem.  Sometimes, 24 hours later I might be very busy working and that answer ge de-prioritized.

If it is a shared tip, you should be docked for being late because you were not there to earn the tip.

First chill out, dont start biting his head off just for not cleaning up or being a little late.  GENTLY ask him or talk to him about whats been going on in his life lately or how his days have been, could be work related, could be not feeling well, we all can't have days where we're up and about getting everything we want, done and on time............so just talk to him, its no reason to start giving him the cold shoulder unless he's out partying or "elsewhere" and coming home late.  He shouldn't be mad if you're just asking curiously about why his actions have been changing and he's not cleaning up, etc etc.  You should be just fine.  Good luck.  :)

Yes. If you are not where you are supposed to be at the exact moment you're supposed to be there, you're late. If you have to clock in or your computer is monitored, the supervisor knows instantly. Do it more than once without a dire emergency like a car wreck on the way to work, and your employer is within his rights to write you up for habitual lateness. Upshot: get up earlier, take an earlier bus or train, learn that work is work and not play. Be there on time. It shows you're reliable and responsible.

You are always late because of this reason: You think you can handle the pressure of being late so you wait to the last minute. For example, right now I am supposed to be doing homework and I am not and sitting talking to you. Anyway just try to get to the place you are trying to get to early.
