Absolutely not. Punctuality is a fundamental sign of respect for others' time. Being 15 minutes late just tells everyone you value your schedule above theirs. Don't be that person.

No. Being late shows disrespect for others' time. If you can't arrive on time, you're saying your schedule matters more than everyone else's.
