    I prefer to be on time, of course.

    Likewise.

    However, if it's something I am anticipating, I'll be there before I'm supposed to be.

    You being late makes FM's wife angry?

    That's crazy, Mommy.

    I meant it as in I'm sometimes late because I have a mistaken sense of time on occasion.

    I run on Mexican Time*. Entirely. If I'm meeting up with someone I'll be on time but other than people directly relying on me I will very rarely be on time.

    I don't like being tied down to some bull clock.

    I'm only late when other people don't run on my schedule. That being said, I arrive ridiculously early a lot of the time, which isn't great either.

    I was late to the bus station twice due to my brother, I had to follow the bus until it made a stop and everybody on there that I knew laughed at me

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    Heh, well I run on Asian Time. I think in general, people just aren't punctual, and they like to blame it on ethnicity and culture.

    I'm almost always late to everything. It's worse in LA because even if I leave with plenty of buffer time, the traffic is so unpredictable that I could be 10 minutes early one day and 1 hour late the next. One time, it took me an hour to go one mile from my apt to school because of traffic. One mile! But I think anyone who lives in the area understands, so no one really gets too upset about it. It makes me really ansty when I'm late though. It's not a good feeling. But somehow, I'm always forgetting something and having to rush back into the house, or I forget that I don't have any gas and I need to stop by the station, or I get LOST (this one happens a lot), or stuck manuerving around closed exits and road blocks and inevitably, I always end up being late.

    I usually get to my destination too early because I dont want to be late. Then if I wait around too long I always get this paranoid feeling i got the times wrong or day or something and then if I really get alot of time to think while i wait i start to think that maybe I dreamed the plans and that Im not really meant to be there and then i move on to thinking maybe my friends are imaginary and dont really exist and im going crazy.

    ...So thats why i dont like it when others are late

    I'm generally punctual but my boyfriend always calls me the queen of taking her time, and tells me to get the lead out of my arse. Hahah. I'm on time I just make him nervous I suppose.

    I've also had occasions where I was up and ready to go for an interview 3 hours early. It depends on where I'm headed. If it's to the mall and it's just me and I can't inconvenience anyone that I'm as slow as frozen molasses. If there's other people involved though I'm usually 10 minutes early.

    I am so rubbish at being punctual. Expect me to be an hour late, at least.

    I'm usually about fifteen minutes prior or more. I hate being late, because I know there's going to be something really important that I need someone's help with and if they're late, I know I'll be pissed as hell. So I'm on time, so when someone is late, smurf yeah I can complain about it.

    I'm usually on time for things like work and classes at the gym. Everything else...that's different. :rolleyes2
