People who are chronically late, you can "fix" by giving them a different, earlier, time to meet than you give others or show up yourself. With the 10:00 guy Candy, I'd remember the merchandizing rule and would have made it $9.95 - 9:45 a.m. :-) as my "latest" time, then he would have made sure to call you before 10:00 because your time had a "9" in it.

My husband leaves cabinet doors open in the kitchen which irks me and gets things VERY wet in the bathroom and kitchen, waking/cleaning up and leaves them that way. Yesterday we came in from the grocery store and I couldn't put the cardboard cartons down on the counters to rest because old 3B (bird bath bather) had been there earlier and left the countertops all wet. I sit here in the dining area and there's a pass-thru to the kitchen. When he's working in the kitchen at the sink (making breakfast, doing dishes, etc.) my school books and I are likely to get "showered". One of my cats likes to sit next to me/my computer on my books but if anyone goes to the kitchen sink he gets a terrified look on his face and instantly gets down from the table. I can only imagine what the "memory" must be for him :-) But, I'm often loathed to complain about little things like a few water droplets when my husband is washing dishes, if you know what I mean? Beats doing them myself.
