Hurry Up And Wait

I firmly believe that if you’re told that a meeting is scheduled to begin at 8:00am, then you should arrive at least 10 minutes early so as to be in your seat and ready for a timely start.
I am tired of arriving on time for a meeting and, along with the other attendees, must sit and wait for those one or two stragglers who don’t have any respect for us and then just wander in without even an, “I’m sorry”, or a “Thank you for waiting”. The meeting facilitator feels the need to draw out the start of the program so the late comers don’t miss anything. WHY?
