  Ugh, I hate it. I am black and a lot of other black people call never being on time "C P time". I don't think it is funny or cute. I have noticed that people from warmer climates are never on time whether it is white people from the southern US  or pure blooded Africans from Ghana. I don't know what it is about that warm weather.
  Me, I am the opposite. I feel sluggish in cold weather and more likely to get up and get stuff accomplished in warm weather. But I still make it to appointments on time no matter if it is cold or not.
context: What I don’t understand is that for people who are chronically late, they know they are always late.  Why then are they still too selfish to make the adjustment in their schedule?  You have a scheduled appointment at 2, so why not make it 1:30 in your calendar??!   
  And then they (maybe) apologize ?? If you were actually sorry you’d change the behavior. >
  
  I agree. When I lived in South Florida, that chronic tardiness from everyone was very hard to get used to. Down there, being 20-30 minutes late is expected and accepted behavior. Doesn’t even matter if it’s a doctor’s appointment or a family get together. People are even late to job interviews down there 😬. Some call it “Miami Time” or “Cuban Standard Time” or “Livin’ la vida time”… it always annoyed me.
  Moved back to Ohio and it’s delightful how ridiculously punctual midwesterners are. And they call or text when there’s traffic.
