Summary:

  • The late coworker excuses their tardiness by stating that they never discuss important matters in the first ten minutes of the meeting.
  • The other coworker points out that this is the exact reason they need to be there on time, as they often discuss important topics at the beginning of the meeting.

  • The comic strip humorously highlights the absurdity of the late coworker's excuse and the frustration of their colleague.
