What’s Gotta Go

What is it with people that think THEIR time is more important that YOURS? Not only is this rude behavior something I deal with from complete strangers I have the luxury of dealing with it from my own flesh and blood. Now don’t get me wrong, we aren’t the most punctual people out there, but we do consider others time and do everything in our power to be on time, or at least fashionably late. The same can’t be said for everyone.

So we go to meet my Brother at HIS house to go camping. We are 5 min early so we wont hold anyone up. We get there expecting to get going so we don’t get to our destination after dark. We were going camping and we didn’t want to have to set up camp after dark. Well, we were there waiting with his wife and kids. He wasn’t home yet from work, so we waited patiently for him to return home. We were chatting and discussion what emergency would take him away from his commitment to meet us. We figured it HAD to be some unforeseen emergency. Perhaps some roadside rescue, or perhaps some robbery at a bank or something that would keep him from getting to us in time. (Keep in mind he is an electrician and NOT a law enforcement officer)

Finally an hour and a half later he showed up. Relief that he wasn’t dead on the side of the road was short lived as we found out the reason behind his tardiness. It seems he was heading home and saw a nice vehicle for sale at a lot, not one to pass up a great opportunity he stopped and took it on a test drive!!!!! Unbelievable! NO…the unbelievable part was that he thought nothing of it and acted like nothing was wrong. Now I know his mother taught him manners, so maybe this is just a learned behavior!
