Y managed H beautifully and they were on the threshold of the venue, five minutes before it was due to start then H said, he would go in search of coffees for all of us. I was glad they were coming together because Y is always on time and H has pathological lateness issues. I was meeting a couple of friends at a lecture recently, Y and H. Then I will want to know what's behind the pattern of lateness, what's the meaning of it and what purpose it serves. But some clients are always late, maybe just five or ten minutes but always late, often panting when they get to the door. It happens the once, I don't treat it as significant. “The tube got stuck in a tunnel for 20 minutes, I do apologise". Sometimes one of my psychotherapy clients might be late. Latecomers like to pretend that their lack of punctuality is a funny charming quirk, but it's serious, it's a handicap.
