A character is never on time for anything.
Line 9:
{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* Usagi Tsukino of ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' always seems to be running to get somewhere
* This is the main [[Running Gag]] about Hatake Kakashi in ''[[Naruto]]''. The man is unable to be on time in ''anything''.
== Comic Books ==
* Some writers have made this part of ''[[The Flash]]'''s cover for his [[Secret Identity]].
== Literature ==
* Lord Henry in ''[[The Picture of Dorian Gray]]'' by [[Oscar Wilde]], who is the subject of the page quote. Unlike many (most?) examples of this trope, he is ''deliberately'' late to everything.
== Live-Action Television ==
* The 2014 [[The Flash (TV 2014)|''Flash'' TV series]] makes this a trait of Barry Allen before he becomes ''The Flash'' to add a bit of irony to him becoming "The Fastest Man Alive". It's never mentioned again after the first episode.
== Video Games ==
* ''[[Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth]]'' is an example of the player character treated as always being late.
