Contractor for a job here was supposed to be here at 12:00. It's now 12:38. And two days later.

How'd that work out for Tupac?

Yup just like a payment check for $933 is the same as a $1,000 check.

No, but people get very indignant arguing things like 8:99 repeating = 9:00; thankfully we don't have metric time or that would spawn a several thousand page thread.

I thought it was cute when a friend was paying a contractor for renovations - after sanding a wall (drywall), he'd spend 2 hours cleaning up the dust before doing the next wall. I attempted to politely point out that she's being ripped off (paying for the job by the hour, and there were many other instances of similar wastes of time), but it went in one ear and out the other, because he did nice work.

Ya know, I understand that shit happens, and sometimes people are late for when they said they'd show up.
HOWEVER....common decency, AND a good business practice, says to call and let the customer know they're going to be late, and by approximately how long. Some people actually have to take time off from work, to meet a contractor, and it's frustrating when they decide your time is worthless to them.

Yep, the window is half a business day and they arrive call for the first time 5 min before the end of that window to let you know it will be 45 minutes for their arrival, and two hours after that they show up--or not at all.

A few years ago, I told a Friend I was going to get some estimates on vinyl siding,
he said I know a guy.
The guy was his 25 year old Son and 2 of his buddies, they did decent work,
but they showed up at like 1-2 in the afternoon. I said you guys should be here
at 7am, when it is cooler outside. Nope they worked till dusk then went and had a few beers.... Noon time the next day. LOL.

The answer to your question is no.
