John Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 When someone arrange to meet you, do you always arrive early, on time or late? Does it annoy you when someone turns up very late? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grissom Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Depends if this is a work meeting or a social one - at work I am always early as usually have sommat to present and hence need to get material onto laptop, distribute handouts in the room etc. Hate it when people arrive late. HOWEVER socially its ok to be a few mins late, and we all know women run on a different time zone anyhows so they are always 'fashionably late' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scatterheart Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 For work I am generally there about 5 minutes early, for uni I am usually about 5 minutes late And if I'm meeting a friend usually again, 5 minutes or so late. I just don't know what happens, it's as though time suddenly speeds up when it knows I'm in a rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titian Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 There is a theory that you might find interesting if you asked around. I was a prem baby and I am always early for meetings. I get panicked if my arrival is actually on time. I have asked other people and if they were prem they seem to have the same problem. The thoery/old wives tale is that if you were prem you tend to be quite an impatient person. It fits me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angel_b Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Normally, my time keeping is excellent. I arrive at work about twenty minutes before I need to be there, which gives me time to get a drink, sort out my desk etc. Socially, I'm usually a few minutes early too - everyone seems to use me as a reference/meeting point because they know I'll be there first! However, having said all that I was late for my own wedding last week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titian Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Assuming that you are female I think that it's supposed to be the done thing anyway , to keep the groom waiting. If you are male....................Shame on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel_b Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 I'm female, and I was about ten minutes late. Not to keep him waiting/wondering, but because the torrential rain had slowed traffic (and there was already plenty of it!) to a grinding halt!
