One of the problems is most folk in the West are soooooo busy, so in order to chat with you online, they have to arrange to fit this in, and then rearrange the rest of the working day/life around it, so if you are not there......you've buggered up a whole day.
If you are going to be late, you need to SMS straight away, as that is also good manners, and respect, and if you are making a habit of it no wonder he's getting
Think of it this way, you finish your day, and go and wait outside by a tree waiting for a friend to pick you up in a car, it is cold, windy, and pouring with rain.......you wait 2 HOURS!!! No message......no phone call....no lift.....are you happy?.....and this happens to you a few times a month
