I just read that in Buenos Aires, people are routinely 2-3 hours late for social events.
My parents recently went to a baby shower that was billed as starting at 7, so they got there at 7:30. The guests of honor didn't get there until 9 or something! They are Puerto Rican, but still. (My parent realized on the way that they should have pushed it to 8, but had no idea it would be SO late.)
Timelies all!
Bleah, I'm tired. I really don't like waking up at random times during the night. I especially don't like it when I wake up because I have a leg cramp.
Starting meetings late gets on my last nerve. It wasn't a problem in the PNW, but it is horrible in LA.
late people, like 2 hours late, can't be my friends or family. I will not wait.
And on the flip side, the first time my mother had a dinner party after moving from NYC to the midwest she was horrified when guests showed up right on time and she was still unshowered and in her bathrobe.

This was me on the Eastern Shore. Also, once I promised to help a guy I was dating set up for guests. I arrived about the time of the party and he was mad because I was so late. Sure enough, someone arrived just after me.

IME you're not expected to show up to parties on time, but a dinner party can't be that late, because the meal is timed.
I would plan to serve dinner an hour after the stated time of a party, but would still expect people to show up relatively close to the time. But I show up nearly everywhere on time!
I did not know that Ira and Philip Glass were cousins!
Also, my day was crap. People were crap, my lunch made me feel like crap, and my coworker spent most of the day trying to mollify me for planning to dump a huge project on me for no other clear reason than she's intimidated by men.
Mmmm.... Lamb tikka, samosa and cheese naan SO GOOD.
