text to say I'm running late.

I generally try not to 'cause i'm a bit paranoid about punctuation, which makes no sense 'cause i'm also a huge procrastinator. But if i'm running behind schedule, then i go through two phases: First, i freak out and run around like a chicken with my head cut off. Next, i realize that it's my fault and there's no point speeding around 'cause it won't get me anywhere any faster, unless i accidently jump into hyperspace through sheer force of will. O_O

Run around at top speed like a chiggin with its head cut off, frantically trying to get out the house ASAP.

Rush like hell, I hate being late.

It´s very rare that I´m late.
If I would be I would get totally nervous and hurry up as much as I can.

Wash only the stinky bits and my hair, stuff everything haphazard into my bag, and eat breakfast hours after I should have... kinda like I did this morning. ;)

I call in, although I am rarely late, I am the one waiting for others to show.

Blame an unexpected meteor strike. Have you ever tried to cross a meteor picket line? Dude! They'll stone you if they can! And it's usually that low-grade shit that's only slightly better than oregano!

Depends on where I need to be and just how late I am.

[milagro75.livejournal.com]

Agreed. The worst is probably when I've overslept and am late for work. I rush around like crazy then, and of course call to let them know Im on my way. I try not to be late but will generally always call if it happens.

Swear at myself for as long as I can.

Adrenaline!

In other words... go faster.

If I'm more than a couple of minutes late I call my boss (or whoever I'm supposed to meet and let them know) otherwise...I just go as usual...I'm not one to drive crazy just cause I'm late...I'd rather get there late than not get there at all! ;P

If I'm running late, which is rare, I call ahead. There is always time for courtesy.

panic

I'm so anal about being on time that I usually show up about 10-15 minutes before I'm expected.  If I am late for unforeseen reasons, I usually sprint like a marathon runner or drive like Mario Andretti to get there as soon as possible.

Obviously you're not THAT late, if you have time to post in your LJ! LOL!

I hate running late. I'm a stickler where punctuality is concerned, and if I ever run late, I get frantic, plus my whole day is shot all to hell from there on.

[spritegirltn.livejournal.com]

call ahead to say I am running late and do my best to get there aw quicky and safe as possible.

[sorah.livejournal.com]

Haul ass out the door, in the vehicle and cuss at drivers who are in no way to blame for my tardiness!

[msanborn.livejournal.com]

depends on what I'm late for but usually I just get there when I get there and hope people understand. I usually tell people when I'm first getting to know them that I'm notoriously bad at being fifteen minutes late - no matter how early I leave for somewhere.

[stalkings.livejournal.com]

cuss and run around like a chicken with my head cut off... oh yeah... and SPEED to wherever I'm driving to LOL

I'm rarely late - it's a pet peeve.

[eternalxwhisper.livejournal.com]

I rarely am late but if there's an occasion I get my rota mixed up and rush like hell and ring them up.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Good plan!
