What do you do if your friend is always late?

Question

I make plans with my friend to work out at a specific time and then she is usually 15-30 minutes late or calls me an hour after the designated time saying that she overslept or did something else and can't come anymore. She always apologizes multiple times when this happens, but I can't help but be annoyed because it happens regularly. I don't want to start an argument with her because I value our friendship too much, so I'm not sure what to do.

Answer 1

Omg! I have the same friend! What I do is, if something starts at 4p i tell her 3p...seriously! It works! I always jokingly bring it up. Like i'll say something like, "okay the lunch is at 12pm so I guess I should tell you 1030am?" we laugh about it. You can't change someone's habits you just gotta find some way to compromise!
