I usually see people complaining if their friends are an hour late but what about shorter waiting durations?
For example, if a friend is often asking to hang out and then is always 8-15 minutes late when meeting up in public is that annoying? Or is it fine until you wait at least 25 minutes?

It would be annoying but if this is genuinely a good friend, I’d just start showing up 10 min late.
I dont really have a limit. lateness doesnt bother me
I have a good friend who has never been on time a day in her life. But, I am also the type of person to show up early. Which makes her lateness feel even more noticeable. My husband always suggests we just get there later than planned as well to counteract, but I don’t know I just always stick with my own inclination. So I guess I tolerate any lateness from a friend-but I also don’t let it impact my leaving time. If I’d planned on leaving by 7 and she doesn’t get there until 5:30/6, I’ll still leave when I planned.
Most of my good friends are habitually up to 15 mins late. I love them and they’re otherwise good people so I just turn up 10 mins late myself so we don’t lose restaurant reservations but I’m not waiting too long.
