Heard of one habitual late comer business yuppie soaking up the delights of the Executive Club who always turned up at the last minute. So he was set up, they did not load his bag and held it at the gate. Paged him several times - no show. Pushed back and taxiing out he shows at the gate aghast - you can't depart without me my bag is on board. Oh no its not , we thought based on your past record you might miss the flight so we took the precaution of taking it off for you. Hasn't been late since.
