Arriving at the appointed 18:00 for the evening meal and finding no-one else is there.
Apart from the kitchen staff. When as a boy I attended church with my parents, there was a family who lived in a building adjoining the church so they had only a few steps to go - and yet they consistently arrived late. Maybe a pattern - the shorter the journey the more likely folk are to arrive late.
When working for the BBC an important meeting was called by the department head and I arrived just a few minutes late. I was lambasted with the usual there are 12 people here and we've all had to wait 5 minutes for you - that adds up to an hour of time! I have never forgotten that reprimand.
