It's about time

Send us Fan Mail It's about time “It’s about time” means: “This should have happened earlier.” Or: “We’ve been waiting a long time for this.” Example: Imagine there’s a broken elevator in your building. Every week, someone says: “They’re fixing it soon.” A week passes. Nothing. Then another. Still nothing. Finally, one morning, you see someone repairing it. Your neighbor says: “They’re finally fixing the elevator!” And you reply: “It’s about time!”
