I am a early person. If I am going somewhere, I will get there from 15 minutes to 20 minutes early. At least in the area of the meeting. Still 10 mins. early. I hate it when some one is late. I can give 5 or 10 minutes late...but more, well, I get antsy. Starts to bug me. And those who are half an hour late without a call ... I am out of there. I find being blatantly late, rude. Those who are late, without calling to let the other person know ... are selfish and controlling. I know there is exception to the rule. Sometimes emergencies come up. I can live with that. But those who walk into our church, 15 minutes after the service started, on a constant level.. are rude. And if they are carrying a latté, I am really peeved -- Cis Gors/From A Simple Mind.
DFO: I usually arrive on time, or a few minutes either way.
Question: Are you an early person or a late person?
