People have different views and attitudes toward time. Various cultures mentally measure time differently. For instance, people in some cultures may measure time in five minute blocks and thus may be annoyed by someone who comes thirty minutes late to a meeting or an appointment. On the other hand, thirty minute delays may be a short amount of time for people who measure time based on forty five minute blocks.
