A character is never on time for anything.
In video games the player character can be treated as this to lampshade Take Your Time.
For younger characters, this can result in a chronic case of Late for School, but differs from that trope in that it is a stock scene, while this is a character trait.
Examples of Always Late include:
Advertising
Anime and Manga
- Usagi Tsukino of Sailor Moon always seems to be running to get somewhere -- usually school -- on time, and often failing.
Comic Books
- Some writers have made this part of The Flash's cover for his Secret Identity.
Fan Works
Film
Literature
Live-Action Television
- The 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.
Music
Myths and Legends
Newspaper Comics
Oral Tradition
Pinball
Podcasts
Professional Wrestling
Puppet Shows
Radio
Tabletop Games
Theater
Video Games
- Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is an example of the player character treated as always being late.
