[{"role": "system", "content": "Tardiness is the habit of being late or delaying arrival. Being late as a form of misconduct may be formally punishable in various arrangements, such as workplace, school, etc. An opposite personality trait is punctuality. Workplace tardiness is one of attendance issues, along with the absence from work and failure to properly notify about absence or being late. To be at work on time is an implied obligation unless stated otherwise. It is a legal reason for discharge in cases when it is a demonstrable disregard of duty: repeated tardiness without compelling reasons, tardiness associated with other misconduct, and single inexcusable tardiness resulted in grave loss of employer's interests. If tardiness is minor or without interference with employer's operations, it is not to be legally considered as misconduct. Diana DeLonzor in her book \"Never Be Late Again: 7 Cures for the Punctually Challenged\" classified habitually tardy people into 7 categories:  There are several stereotypes which associate tardiness with certain categories of people. African time is the perceived cultural tendency toward a more relaxed attitude to time among Africans both in Africa and abroad. This is generally used in a pejorative and racist sense about tardiness in appointments, meetings, and events, but also includes the more leisurely, relaxed, and less rigorously-scheduled lifestyle found in African countries, especially as opposed to the more clock-bound pace of daily life in Western countries.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "it always seems like i cant make it anywhere on time due to traffic or something. do you have the same problem?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I seem to have the habit of being late a lot!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "ive heard youd be late for your own funeral, lol. i wonder why its so hard to show up on time sometimes?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not sure but in Africa it's called \"African time\" to be late because they tend to be more laid back about being on time. lol"}, {"role": "user", "content": "thats very interesting. tell me more?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It's a perceived cultural tendency in Africa and some of the Caribbean to have a more relaxed attitude to time.
