No matter how cute it is, it won't work.

thank you always.

This is Hayama, who is a habitual latecomer.

Having said that, don't worry.

Habitual offenders are a thing of the past.

After being completely rehabilitated, IWhen meeting people, 1Arrive 0-15 minutes beforeI try to do my best.

Especially when visiting a place for the first time,If you are in a place where you might get lost, you should arrive at least one hour in advance and check the area thoroughly, then take a break at a nearby cafe to kill time.Oh my God, it's often.

(Isn't it just anxiety?)

In retrospect,10-20 generationsIn those days, I was more than anyone else,was loose on timeI think so.

Wasn't there one or two people around you?

At the meeting time, always, and every time, XNUMX-XNUMX minutes,The guy who shows up a little late.

Moreover, it doesn't look bad at all...!

(In the middle of the head, a flower garden! I'm angry~)

I was just that type of person.

Meetings with friends, university classes, job interviews,I was almost always late.

It happened to be a good time, and it finally arrived just in time.

"Really, Hayama never came on time."

Even my friends at the time laughed and made fun of me,I was stunned in my heart,When I think that I might have been annoyed,Even now, I'm filled with apologetic feelings...

No, if this were the other way around, and if I were who I am now,I'm preaching to myself at the time (angry).

SuchI used to be a big tardy, but one day,A turning point for conversion comes.

I believe it was around the age of 23-24.

At that time, a girl I just met (I'm aiming, but I'm not dating), it was my first time to eat and shop.SuchOn an important first date, I'm "a little late" againhave done

(I love you, totally)

at least in advanceI should have emailed the other party that I would be late, but I said, "It's only about XNUMX minutes, so it's okay! "and,It looked perfectly sweet.

And in front of the Moyai Statue at Shibuya Station, which was the meeting place.

"Sorry, I missed one train~"

With the usual light apology and cheerful tension,In contrast to me who just appeared at the meeting place,There was no smile on her face.

I stumbled from the beginning, and somehow I couldn't recover from the awkward atmosphere,I remember coming home from a date feeling bummed out, not being able to show anything that made me feel like myself.

"Is it wrong that I didn't send an email in advance?"

"Didn't you have a good attitude to apologize?"

Both were points of reflection that I lacked,As a result of staring at the ceiling on the bed and thinking all night,

“In the first place, being late itself is absolutely evil!!!”

I came to the conclusion that

Since then, I feel like a different person,

"People who would rather wait than be waited for"

"People who want to love rather than be loved" (KinKi Kids style)

I was able to grow up.

(Exaggerated)

Speaking of being late, at SALON the other day,The lady was late for the setting,An accident that greatly pushed the start timehad.

For the time being, we received a report from the woman to the salon that she would be late,In addition to the fact that it was just before, the initial 40 minutes was stretched out.It ended up being an hour late.

As expected, the result was unsuccessful, but as far as I heard from the man,The fact that tardiness accounted for a considerable weight of the factor,Needless to say.

Also, just my imaginationI think the apology from the woman to the man didn't have enough weight.I think.

The man also said the same thing.

"Even if it were to be established,I wonder if this kind of thing will continue on future dates,It makes me think for a while..."

No~, just because she was a bright and friendly woman,too good to waste!

Like me 20 years ago, even if I don't take the situation seriously,Depending on the opponent's sense of values ​​and judgment criteria, "out without fighting"the possibility of being stamped with the stamp of approvalBecause there is

As expected, being one hour late is too flashy (sweat),As human beings, no matter how careful we are,I think there are unavoidable cases.

The important thing here isOn a daily basis, "Being late is absolutely evil!"make a firm decision.

Just with that mindset at the foundation,If you are unavoidably late, your words, facial expressions,Appearance, etc., the person's words and deeds will change 180 degrees.

In some cases,Negatives can turn into positivesmaybe.

Anyway, this time, it was a story that "being late is absolutely evil!"

And as for being late...

"Cancellation on the day is a capital punishment level!!!"

(Excluding poor physical condition such as corona)

I would like to say that again (laughs).

Even now, when I sometimes get a cancellation on the day from a woman,We as concierges have no omissions and don't feel alive!

It's going to be long, so I think I'll write it on another occasion...

"For the time being, I'm begging you, please stop this campaign."
