NO! 'Cause you don't actually put the polish on your own toenails.

Do you admit to him that this is a purposeful activity on your part or do you exclaim "I'm getting ready as fast as I can" or some such gibberish when pressed?

I tell him that I like to be fashionably late, he doesn't want to be, I take my time getting dressed so that we will be, he doesn't say anything and I get my way. So, no, I don't lie about it, but I refuse to be on time for a party.

Oh my goodness, is that a quirk of mine?!! I have more than one?! LOL!

Thankfully we have multiple vehicles. I am going to be on time. The rest can figure it out for themselves.

If he drove off and left me, he would be attending alone.

Then that is the way it would be.

Your choice.

Perhaps hubby should try that a few dozen times. Does he have an email address I can reach him at?

Yes, he does have an e-mail address. It's mine! Don't worry, everyone knows he is the head honcho around here, but sometimes, there are just things that I must have my way.

I was taught to be fashionably late, which actually should never extend to more than 15 minutes. Can't teach an old dog new tricks, as they say.

You will think this is funny because he can't stand bossy women. I won't say who he was talking to but, he told the man, "Maybe I should talk to your wife. I can hear her in the background telling you what to do and say."

When he hung up, I said, "You are going to make her angry."

He said, "I don't care."

I must admit I have no idea why anyone would consider that fashionable, but for some it is. Dr. Phil said folks that are always late are selfish. When I look at some I know that are late to everything, they do tend to have a selfish nature.

I agree. People who are late to "everything". I know someone like that and I believe they have a selfish nature about them. I am never late to church or appointments. I have a dentist appointment at 1:00 this afternoon and I will be on time.

But, I stand by the fashionably late to a dinner party or any kind of party. I've always done it that way.

Being Fashionably Late: When and where is it okay?

Q: I’m always punctual, so recently, when I was invited to a dinner party that was set to begin at 8:00 P.M., I planned to arrive on the dot. But a friend of mine who was also invited says that no one expects-or wants-me there exactly on time. Should I follow her advice?

A: Yes, since your friend appears to know how things are done in your neck of the woods. The general rule of thumb for dinner parties is arrive 10 to 15 minutes after the time designated by the host. That’s not a hard-and-fast rule, however. In some areas, particularly rural parts of the country, you are expected to be prompt, while in a number of cities, arriving between 15 minutes and a half hour after the party starts is merely considered “fashionably late.” Showing up later than that isn’t good form, though-you don’t want to interfere with the host’s serving plans. Cocktail parties are a different story entirely. They’re typically held between certain designated hours-often from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M.-and people are usually expected to stay for at least an hour. But since food and drink flow freely at these events, guests can too.
