Being late is disgustingly normalized among friends

Less so for work and such, more so among friends. It seems like most friend groups always have a handful of people who just show up 15-30 minutes late to hang out.

I find it incredibly disrespectful, mainly when they are CONSISTENTLY late. I think it’s more normalized among friends because it’s not professional in any way.

Whenever I speak up and try to call them out for being consistently late and inconsiderate, it’s casually brushed away.

I can’t fathom the idea of being late to anything, and am always apologetic on the rare occasion I am.

Edit: Kids and busses are a different story, i dont have any friends who have to deal with either, I would understand if this was a reason.
