50. To Some, Time is an Illusion
There’s nothing more unprofessional than showing up 30-40 minutes late to an appointment without a word, and even worse to make a habit of it. If there’s a specific reason to be late once in a while, it’s at least good etiquette to let the person at the appointment know.
