What is reasonable?

I would give 15 to 20 minutes. If there is a contact and the hobbyist explained about traffic, some more time will be OK. Not giving cross street is not an excuse. Once you get the street, one should be able to locate the address. Houston is not that complicated

1. I agree that you shouldn't have to wait that long.

2. I disagree about the cross street. If you tell me, for example, that you are at 8625 Westheimer, I may not know exactly where that is on Westheimer. But if you say that the nearest major cross street is Fondren, that immediately gives me a better fix on your location and I can judge my travel time better. I'm not always close to my computer.
And if you're worried about security, giving a cross street isn't nearly as bad as giving the actual address. Originally Posted by tikkler33

Yes, you really shouldn't have waited that long. That was way too good of you.

On the other hand, it's good practice to help a client to locate your place in every way you can. A win-win for both parties.

I wouldn't give the guy more than 15 minutes. I would expect the girl to be on time within that same time frame. They make phones so you can communicate. I am never late for an appointment. I'm always early and just sit in my vehicle until i'm supposed to be there. I expect the same from tha lady. If by chance something goes wrong I will call and stay in touch with her and I expect the same thing from her. I expect her to answer her phone as I would answer mine. No excuses.

How can you be a "co-op" and not know the nameof the street?

in this day and age you should have GPS or get a print out of directions from google maps or something similar before leaving. Also at an hour late I wouldnt expect the session to still go on since that beyond the time that is acceptable to be late.

You were more than accommodating.

15 or 20 mins top with no contact, possibly 30 with contact. Any longer than that he should have rescheduled.
