I'm always early and if I'm not the person I'm meeting with is informed of such before said meeting time; it's called respect for others time

Always a little early

Before I retired I was always at work at minimum an hour before our shift started. I could get more done in that hour than the entire 48 hour shift.

It is a women thing to be late. I don't ever recall my ex being early if it was not something we were doing together. I was always pushing her.

I was a sailor and never missed a boat. I dislike it when people show up late to one of my cookouts. When I say 12 o'clock that means food is going to be ready and I'm serving at 12 o'clock not that I'm going to start cooking at 12 o'clock. If you're late you're on your own.

Pet peeve of mine. I am always early. Really irritates me when people are chronically late. Ex wife was like that. I started leaving without her to be on time to appointments and functions. Just one of the reasons she is an ex.

At least 30 early.

This whole thread reminds me of a position I was in years ago. I was an entry level manager and had several employees within their probationary period, could be let go without cause at the drop of a hat. My boss tells me one of them has to go. My call. They were all young men, like me at the time, with young families, also like me. They all did their jobs with equal competence, I hadn't had a single problem or concern with any of them. It would have been a tough call, but this one guy arrived to work 10-15 minutes late on a regular basis. Guess what? That's what it came down to. I felt really bad because the reason for his tardiness was that he had his own church and visited parishoners nearly every morning before work. But that passage, "You can't serve both God and mana" cuts both ways. You wanna' work? Work. You wanna' preach? Then preach. Just not on the company dime. Not so much a pick a side of the fence and fall off on it kinda' thing as manage your time better kinda' thing so you can do both. That was 26 years ago and still bothers me.

Dad was an Army Infantry Officer in Vietnam. I learned at a very early age it is better to be 30 minutes early than one minute late.

Not being on time is my biggest pet peeve. #2 is people that carry a firearm for a living and can't shoot it.

My wife’s family are all consistently late to any family function, some are always 2 hours late. It’s more than annoying.

Bet they make their entrance as dramatic as possible too. It's all about them, don't you know.

Generally right on time here. Punctual.

Always early

I’m early and if I’m late it’s typically because I was in the ER,,

I try to be early everywhere that i go. A friend that i worked with years ago would make it a point to be late for everything. She was taught early in her career that this made her appear that she was "very busy ".
I still think that it shows little respect for other folks time.

If I cant get there early Im not going.

Always early. I quit telling her what time we had to be somewhere and now tell her what time I’m leaving. That actually helped a lot. She’s always late to work. I told her I wish she worked for me, I’d fire her [censored].

The majority of my crew is always an hour early, they/we sit and BS for a while and eat breakfast before shift. No social time after the work starts and no time for niceties. That simple time before shift has built a strong group.

Always 15 min early.

Always 5 - 30 minutes early unless meeting a women. I have had my rear chewed out for being early with a woman. In business I have noticed the same thing with most other men. I think it is written somewhere in the Bible..."Thou guys shalt not be late".

If it’s me 15-20 minutes early if the wife is with me , 30-45 min late. We usually go in separate cars !

If I’m late and nobody hears from me I’m dead.

A man will be early A woman will be late to her own funeral. ENOUGH SAID!
