At time Im a little annoyed but fine to wait, five minutes after with no word Im agitated, and 10 minutes late I assume you arent coming and send an email for you to rebook or to let you know we wont need to be meeting

it would depend on the event. for a formal meeting it would be expected to be there on time, for a reservation of some kind it would be within 5-10 minutes at the most, for a casual hangout i'd accept 15-20 with a decent excuse such as road work (or a less good excuse like "i got distracted my bad" if communication happens)

no i thought based on how your comment was worded that you were annoyed if they weren't early but simply on time
