This post and some other LW post (I think a zvi “problems with the Bay” post) are the only times I’ve encountered a story of someone showing up several hours late to something. I really don’t want to trivialize the problem of general group coordination, but stories like that (which to me feel like HUGE problems) make me learn towards the belief that there’s some basic “how to group” education that is missing.
To anyone who is part of multiple dissimilar social groups, I would be interested in hearing if you’ve noticed anything like, “Oh, my XYZ group always has coordination problems 1), 2), and 3), but my ABC group has almost none.”
Good point. I can’t really imagine being several hours late and still showing up, except for events where that is explicitly the norm, like a long party.
