When People Keep You Waiting, It’s Their Way Of Saying That They’re More Important Than You

From Burt Prelutsky:

Maybe women simply aren’t aware that when people keep you waiting, they might just as well spit in your eye. It’s their way of saying that they’re more important than you, and that you’re lucky they bothered showing up at all.

How do I know this? Easy. These same people are never late when they’re going to meet their boss or a potential employer or somebody from whom they want to borrow money.

Or take Marilyn Monroe. When she became a star, she was notorious for her tardiness. She would regularly keep an entire movie company standing around waiting for her to show up three or four hours late. People would rationalize her boorishness. They’d say she was nervous, even frightened, about facing the camera. So how was it that she was absolutely punctual during those years when she was still a starlet, with small roles in movies like “The Asphalt Jungle” and “All About Eve”? It was only when she became the 800-pound gorilla and couldn’t be fired that, all of a sudden, she developed this phobia where punctuality was concerned.

Good catch, Tom. I enjoyed the article a lot, and I identify with it so much that I had to write a blog piece on it. Thanks for the find.

If you are in a not good position and have got no money to get out from that, you will have to receive the personal loans. Because that will aid you for sure. I take short term loan every single year and feel myself OK because of it.
