While being fashionably late is one thing, being supremely delayed is tardy, rude and a not good impression. In reality only weddings and fashion shows can be delayed but only to an extent.
This handy guide will help you choose the right words to say.
0-20 minutes
- No excuse needed, you arrived didn't you?
20-40 minutes
- Push off irritated faces with compliments and follow wit a casu "Oh how lovely to see you all again . You look so well. Nightmare getting a taxi/ traffic/ parking isn't it?" (delete where needed)
al apology blaming external factors:
40 minutes - hour
- Vaguely suggest a day of exiting trauma, but be careful not to elaborate! "What a day! You just couldn't imagine. Oh well at least I'm here , so what have I missed?" and so on.
One hour plus
- This requires a show stopper entrance, as Marilyn Monroe once said, "I have often been on calenders but I have never been on time"
Happy Shopping Fellow Shopaholics!
