How Do You Handle Friends That Are Always Late

We all have them, but the question this morning was how do you handle those friends that are always late? It came up on The Mike & Carla Morning Show this morning.

It came out that a lot of people with friends like this that they just lie about the time of an event they need to be at. For example, if dinner is at 8:30pm, just tell your "late" friends that dinner is at 8pm!

According to an article in USA Today, leads us to believe that it might be okay to lie to your friends. Lie to them just to get them somewhere on time.

The article also pointed out that some adults' definition of "on time" is a little different than others. It also sends mix messages to those you consider friends. That their time isn't as important as yours.

On The M&C Morning Show, it was said that if it's a "hard" time, meaning a reservation or show time, it would be just rude to be more than 10 minutes late.

If it's a party or gathering, and say the start time is 7pm...it would be okay to be 15 to 30 minutes late. Kind of that rule, arrive late, leave early?

However, those that took the time to text in or call into the morning show, views differed. Not only was it not restricted to friends, but family! One woman talked about how her kids are ALWAYS late!

The best one was a text, a brother that was always 20 minutes late, had passed away. One final way to get back at him. Everyone was 20 minutes late to his funeral! Now that is classic! Not that he care at all, but it was a great prank!

So, spend a couple of minutes, listen to the segment from this morning and let us know what you think...and enjoy!

International Day of Friendship (which is recognized on social media as #FriendshipDay) falls on July 30. While on the surface, this may seem like one of those "fake" holidays you often see, there's actually some history behind it.

According to Days of the Year, International Day of Friendship got its start as a "Hallmark Holiday." Yes, the holiday does date back to the greeting card giant in 1919. The purpose of the holiday? To send your best friends a greeting card telling them how much you appreciate them and their friendship.

While the holiday's popularity faded by 1940, it was resurrected in 1998 by the United Nations, who named the iconic children's book character Winnie the Pooh as the Ambassador of Friendship. Years later in April 2011, the United Nations officially declared that July 30 would be recognized as International Day of Friendship.

In its official declaration, the United Nation encouraged people all over the world to "observe this day in an appropriate manner, in accordance with the culture and other appropriate circumstances or customs of their local, national and regional communities, including through education and public awareness-raising activities."

As with any holiday, a little celebration is in order. One way we're going to celebrate is by recognizing some of our favorite best friends from film and TV.

Among the best friend duos we immediately think of are Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan from the Bill & Ted trilogy. What an iconic pair! Let's face it: If your friend’s dad threatened military school if you two flunked your history class, you’d travel through time to pull out all the stops to keep your friend at your school, too! It was also nice to see that their friendship went the distance decades after the world was introduced to them.  

Another pair of besties we immediately think of is Cory Matthes and Shawn Hunter from Boy Meets World. Few friendships are as beloved as Cory and Shawn. Boy Meets World fans saw them grow up from middle school to college and all of the ups and downs that come with those years. Like Bill and Ted, there's just something special about a friendship that dates back to your teen years. Those friends really saw the good, the bad and the ugly of you coming of age.

Here are more of our favorite best friends from film and TV in honor of International Day of Friendship. Enjoy!

If your friend’s dad threatened military school if you two flunked your history class, you’d travel through time to pull out all the stops to keep your friend at your school, too!  

Going to your ten-year high school reunion is kind of like time travel. For Romy and Michelle, it’s their way to stick it to the “A-Group” who bullied them for those formative four years.

Few friendships are as beloved as Cory and Shawn. Boy Meets World fans saw them grow up from middle school to college and all of the ups and downs that come with those years.

Evan and Seth are graduating from high school and are about to go their separate ways to college, but there’s nothing that brings two friends together than the hopes of potentially hooking up with their dream girls at the biggest party of their lives.

They don’t fit in and are too sardonic for Lawndale High or really any high school in existence. Thankfully, they have each other to lean on and viewers got to make fun of their fellow classmates with them.

Think of them like a super-rude, modern version of The Odd Couple. Their shenanigans throughout the entire “View Askewniverse” honestly deserve their own list.

Bound together thanks to rock and roll and an amazing cable access show, Wayne and Garth were “goals” decades before that phrase became a thing.

They should be too dumb to function, but Harry and Lloyd’s absurd stupidity leads them to equally absurd adventures. At the end of the day, they truly do care about each other. Also, Harry is right; you can't triple stamp a double stamp.

Desperately trying to satisfy the munchies, escaping Gitmo and finding a new Christmas tree. Is there nothing these two stoners can’t do?!
