Disrespecting other people’s time is a shitty cultural trait. And I say that as someone from a country where everyone leaves home at the time they should be arriving.
I can repeat the same refrain as above, but instead I’ll say that if the wide cultural impulse is to keep times loose, then there is no disrespect of peoples time. Casual starts and stops for an event that everyone understand are very respectful, as they grant everyone full autonomy.
You may not enjoy a loose time table, but that dosent make the trait “shitty.” It makes it something you dont like is all.
That works for an informal dinner between friends, it doesn’t work for something where everyone needs to be present. There’s nothing that pisses me off more than having something important to do, and having people arrive randomly on a 40 minute span after the scheduled time.
That’s just your cultural preference shining through.

Wasting other peoples time is a dick move, using your culture as an excuse for being inconsiderate is an even bigger dick move
