People who are often late may genuinely experience time differently. Research suggests some individuals have a 'looser perception of time,' meaning they naturally underestimate how long things will take. They might think getting ready will take 10 minutes when it actually takes 20 - or believe they still have time to do one more task before leaving. Psychologists say this difference in time perception can make chronic lateness less about carelessness and more about how someone’s brain processes time. #news #uk #facts
