Late Train

A chain-reaction that occurs at a social gathering, meeting, practice, or other form of social interaction, initiated by an individual announcing to the group that they are going to be late, which in turn, results in other members taking their sweet-ass time to get ready, often resulting in the actual event being pushed back as far as even a couple of hours.

We were meant to have a banquet around 4o’clock this afternoon, but because the most charismatic person in our group said she was going to be late, she caused a late train, pushing back the party to 6:30.
