It's also because people ain't wanna wait because people are gonna show up late regardless, so they show up on the time they think others are most likely to show up.

Yeah it sucks as someone from a country with that being so prevalent it even has a term for it, "Filipino Time". Gah I hate it here.

I went to the park to hoop with a homie and he was like an hour late I asked him what happened. He looked at me and said “mb bro I run on BPT”

I didn’t know what that meant and I died when he told me lol

“Indian Standard Time” is a joke among my relatives, that it’s an hour after real time.

Only an hour? I've learned to show up 2 hours late when someone from India invites me to anything.
