The phrase "J'ai failli attendre" has an interesting backstory rooted in French culture. It translates to "I almost had to wait," and is typically used in situations where someone arrives late or unexpectedly, causing mild inconvenience or amusement.

Legend has it that the phrase originated during the reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century. The king, known for his love of punctuality, once encountered a courtier who arrived slightly late for an audience. In response, Louis XIV humorously remarked, "J'ai failli attendre," implying that he nearly had to wait, subtly reminding the courtier of the importance of being on time.

Since then, the phrase has become a playful and somewhat sarcastic way to comment on tardiness or delays in French culture, reflecting both the emphasis on punctuality and the penchant for witty repartee. It encapsulates the French attitude towards time management and social interactions with a touch of humor and finesse.
