At 6 p.m. I started to get angry with him because he was late as usual vs At 6 p.m. I started to get angry with him because he was late in general

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. The first phrase implies that the speaker got angry at 6 p.m. specifically because the person was late at that time. The second phrase suggests a more general feeling of anger due to the person's habitual lateness.
