- I'm waiting for my friend outside her house, and I've been waiting for her for over 15 minutes, when she walks out, the conversation would be like this, right? (:)) Smile

E: Sorry to have kept you waiting.
F: It's ok, but please be punctual next time / Next time don't make me wait for you for this long.


Thanks so much to Teachers,

No, F is too rude.  Among friends we would just say, 'Oh, that's OK' and nothing more.

- Dear Teachers,

- Although F is too rude, but all the sentences of this conversation is natural, right? (:)) Smile

Thanks so much!

No, when I say it is too rude, that means it is not a natural utterance here; it is not appropriate communication.  It is not what a native would say in this situation.  In this case, it is something you might get punched in the face for.
