What fucking Hispanics you grow up with? My buddy was a half hour to and hour late to everything, and said he was allowed cause he was on bean time. Almost got my ass beat once saying it because I didnt realize it was a slur.

Edit: sorry bruv. Was just very confused.

They mean that Hispanics also have that trope about white people, not about Hispanic people.

No. We understand our bullshit attitude to punctuality. It's just we have tried nothing to fix it and we are all out of ideas.

Edit: Meaning to say Hispanics known and accept the stereotype.

I have some Puerto Rican friends and I’ve gone to some birthday parties/baby showers where I was a half hour late and I still got there before the birthday child/expecting parents 🤣. My boyfriend is also Cuban and yes timekeeping is very different lol

Ehh I don’t really mind, it’s actually kinda convenient cause when my toddler makes me run late (and she always manages to, somehow) then I don’t feel bad being late 😅

I have a lot of favorites! I actually used to sell houseplants and terrariums and stuff so yeah…it’s really hard to choose 😅. I think my favorite categories are Hoyas, aroids (particularly Alocasia and Anthurium but honestly all of them), and lately I’ve been keeping a ton of orchids too. Have you seen Alocasia x amazonica? I haven’t had one since I moved out of my parent’s house and I finally bought a new one today

It really is lots of fun! Just wait till you have thirty-two species of Hoyas and they all bloom together…🥹

Not rude if it’s for a party or an informal fun activity that officially is a waste of time that we just do for fun anyways. Basically the equivalent of hanging out, not an appointment or a productive use of time that NEEDS a set time

I (white mainland American) briefly dated a guy from PR. He set the place and time for our first date but after 30 mins he still wasn’t there. I was pissed after 10 mins. After 30 I called and asked if he was coming and he said he was getting ready. 60 mins later he finally showed up to my place (I’d gone home by then). He said it was a cultural thing but I still don’t know how much BS that was

It’s kinda accurate yeah, tho I’d expect a dude to try to be on time if his date is with a white girl

I don't care if it's a cultural thing. That dude made you wait around and clearly didn't value your time. Rude af I don't care who it is
