That actual topic for this week was pet(s) or pet peeves. I think the Royal family has written enough on the topic of its pets so this week we look at pet peeves. The Queen has many admitted pet peeves but one on the very top of her list is punctuality, or lack there of.
The Queen gained an amazing family when she married the King. They are sweet, loving, caring, the list goes on and on. The one thing they are NOT however is punctual. "1pm" means 2 pm, "I'll be there soon", could mean an hour or two and "I'll be right back", well that is a joke. Getting into the mind set of setting a time one to two hours before you REALLY have to leave has become something of a ritual now, unfortunately once the Queen says the words out loud, such as "let's leave at 1:30", no matter how hard she tries to tell herself, "you will be leaving at 2:30, you know this and that is OK", it is really hard for her mind to register. Now since the majority of Caleb Nation readers are of the King's heritage I hope no offense will be taken. Perhaps none will since this punctuality problem is very well known.
One of two things will most likely happen in the Queen's life concerning this issue: either the guilty parties will try to reform their lackadaisical ways or the Queen will have to roll with the bruising punches, something tells me, being 3 years into this issue, that it will be the latter. Ho hum...

I have always been punctual. After over more than 40 years of dealing with certain non-punctual people, I can safely say that NOTHING you do, say, suggest, threaten or otherwise try to change them or fool them into becoming punctual will work. It is something that is deep in their genes. Being on time is as foreign to them as being late is to you. Best to relax, be on time when it is in your ability to do so, go without them if necessary, and remember all those aforementioned good traits. No one is perfect, NO ONE! I imagine we all are the cause of some pet peeve in others. ;)
I am a punctual person.
I love how loved adapted to the routine and can look at it with a sense of humor.
I was raised to be early for everything. My husband is late for everything... drives me insane!
