    That’s a common reply of children. Usually they learn to not reply like that.

    The thing is that I used to not give those replies as a child, but it was always an impossible scenario for me, so I gave up.

    If the OP is persistently late for work and they often give shit “excuses” like “the bus was late” then I would react similarly to what the OP described. It’s an excuse, not a reason, because you can solve it but have chosen not to: for instance you could leave earlier to ensure that even if the bus is late, you’re still on time.

    Lot of assumptions you are making there, and I understand it but if you’re not ND it might be hard for you to understand just how stupid these situations feel, especially when they’re not regarding recurring problems.

    I do encounter these situations a lot less now that I’m an adult, and it’s less socially acceptable to just be an absolute cunt to me for no reason though.

      I’m curious what you mean by ND. Surely there are a whole host of different types of divergence many of which will have no impact on this?

      I am NT (afaik) but I find some things completely incomprehensible to me.

        There’s different types but a lot of them have very similar lived experiences, and they also tend to coincide with each other (people with ADHD often also have autism, OCD seems to coincide there too , and so on.)

        I don’t have enough concrete information in the area to 100% say, but from my personal lived experience, as well as from the research I am aware of, there is a major overlap and common themes in our lived experiences.

      If you look at this poster’s other posts, they’re quite unpleasant.

      Sort yourself out and turn up on time. Unless there’s a reason of course, but I can’t think of a good reason to be consistently late.

      I’m a teacher, and I hate teachers who just assume everyone can magically not be late, as if personal circumstances don’t exist.
