Why is it Annoying to be Late? (Pourquoi est-ce embêtant d'être en retard ? in French) is a short story about questions and to understand why in the I Grow Up with the Mr. Men and Little Miss series.

Summary[]
Little Miss Late answers the titular question, saying "I'm always late, and I've noticed that it makes people grumpy. And not just Mr. Grumpy! They wait, they wonder if we'll ever arrive, and by waiting, they end up being late... It annoys them! It annoys me too! For example, I arrive at the theater when the film has already started, and I don't understand a thing because I haven't seen the beginning. There are even times when I'm not allowed to go in! Showtimes are a bit annoying. When you haven't planned ahead, you have to hurry to be on time. But if everyone arrived at any time, anywhere, nothing would work!"
