Almost always early. Usually 20 minutes. I factor in time for stuff to go wrong into my getting ready time.

 

[Card Boy]

Anything work related = At least 10-15 early
Anything socially related = Rule of thumb is at least 30minutes late unless you want one person on your own doing nothing.

 

[KorrZ]

I try to arrive on time as best I can but I'm not going to fret over being 5-10 minutes late for a non-formal get together.

If the person I'm meeting would be that bent out of shape about it I probably wouldn't be hanging out with them anyways lol.

 

[Aarglefarg]

For work, I arrive on the dot.
For appointments near home, I arrive 5 minutes early.
For appointments not near home, I arrive 15 minutes early. But for a social discussion group I go to each month, I arrive 30-60 minutes early because I use public transport and want to make sure I get there comfortably. I walk around for a while outside, then go in and eat and others arrive early too.

 

[Chronospherics]

I'm usually a few minutes early. Unless I forget the meeting all together... then... well... fuck...

Some awkward email exchanges do occur from time to time. I was supposed to train some undergrads in the lab recenty, and I took a nap... didn't wake up in time. Had to make up an excuse.

 

[jb1234]

I arrive early. I'm pretty much obsessive about it.

 

[eMpTy23]

That's not how it works.

That's exactly how it works. So you're saying because one person is being rude that the other can say/do/think whatever they please and it's not disrespectful? What?

 

[ThisGuy]

When I come, its right on time.

 

[Dreavus]

For work, 15-20 minutes early because I am tied to a bus schedule. If I miss my first bus, I can usually come screeching in almost on the dot at when I need to be there, which is obviously something I want to avoid.

Social stuff often kind of late, and usually for shitty reasons that make no sense.

Call it a new year's resolution.

Rule.

 

[Waluigilicious]

I used to always be early, but I got sick of waiting and now it completely depends on the situation. In other words, I'm as late as I'm realistically allowed to be.

For example if meeting up with friends I'll be just on time or up to 5 minutes late.

If I'm opening shop and got the keys then I'll be 10-15 minutes early because being late isn't an option. However if I'm simply going into work I'll be as late as I can get away with.

 

[Kisaya]

I usually like to be there early.

 

[dmr87]

If it's important I'm allways early (15-20 minutes), I've never been late to work since I started there 9 years ago. If I'm just meeting someone then I'm there right on time or a few minutes early.

Unless I missed a chain of discussion, if you (not literally) are late constantly then it's disrespectful to the other people who are on time. In most circles they probably don't want to say anything because they're friends etc.

Why are you jumping to saying the other person is disrespectful too? That's the most non-sequitur thing I've heard in a while. It has no bearing on what's being discussed.

If you're a constantly late person, you are being rude. End of.
This is not about the other person in the link.

 

[NateDog]

Always at least 5-10 minutes early, basically everyone else I know is always late. Pisses me off a lot so with people like that I'm just aiming to be late now too.

 

[Bedameister]

Yes. Most of the time I'm actually early

 

[Septic360]

Fashionably late. I'm a prick

 

[Stuart444]

I don't care what it is or who I'm meeting, I always try to be early. Sometimes early by half an hour - an hour (if the weather is bad, I leave super early to account for any issues public transport might face)

Punctuality is very important to me.

 

[AgentLampshade]

If I'm not on time, I'm late. I don't like being the first one there. Waiting gets boring.

Same. I'm not always early, but there are some people where I know damn well they will be 10-20 minutes late, every time! So just end up being late too. I feel that they accommodate that sometimes though, and make themselves even later.

It's stupid. Waste of both of our time.

 

[DOWN]

2-7 minutes late accidentally always tbh

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I'm about 15-30 minutes early to everything. I get stressed out if I'm ever running late.

 

[akira28]

If you arrive late, the other person cares as he has to wait. Time is precious.

if your time is so precious, it is usually spent better with people that are not me.

 

[Slaythe]

I try not to be late for important stuff.

Friends stuff ? Never have I been on time. I just cant . I am that guy.

 

[Qasiel]

I like to arrive on time, or sometimes a little later because I really feel uncomfortable waiting. I'm a tall lad so I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb and if I'm by myself in somewhere like a bar I start to feel uneasy.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Ha ha ha....never.
