Are you a late arrival or an early bird ?

I'm always late. Specially when I'm meeting up with someone, like my boyfriend or friends. I don't really plan on being late, its just that....I can't help it. I feel like its still early, so I do other things...then I end up being late.

Well, you have never been to a Chinese wedding traditional banquet in Singapore. It's really bad. The invitation will state 7pm for cocktail, 7.30pm for dinner. If you reach at 7.30pm you will find yourself the only guest in the ballroom. The bride will only reach outside of the ballroom to greet guests in her lovely wedding gown at about 8.15 to 8.30pm and the earliest any banquet starts will be at 8.45pm because the guests are all like an hour late. It's horrid. After 2 times of arriving like an idiot so early, you never want to be early again because you sit there waiting for the WHOLE ballroom to be filled. Then it is the long dragged out 9-course dinner with people asking you when you are going to be married (i'm single, and not a boyfriend in sight) and answering surface questions like "how's your work". It's a horrible experience.

Hi there scorpio19 I am very much like you too. My kids are never late for school either. We have never had to go through the reception doors in order to get my kids into their classroom. I too have a friend who says she will be around at a certain time and only if it is in her interest to be at my house on time she will be (like to use my pc) if not then she will just arrive in her own time. She doesn't seem to think it is a big deal and I guess she also thinks that it is only me and I won't mind! I am never usually late for anything and neither will my kids ever be!

During High School, I was never late. My father is, until now, an early bird so he used to wake me up early also.I was always the first one to arrive or at least not the last one. I hated late-comers, and I was mad at my friends for being late, and I was impatient for those who will not arrive on time. But things changed during college, I started to arrive late. I even experienced being late for an hour during our lecture. i know it's not a bad habit, and I am trying to change that kind of attitude.

I'm obsessive about arriving early. It it's witin my power, I'm almost always about 15 minutes early for anything

i want to be an early bird

I always do my best to be on-time or early to anything. I do not like to be late because then I miss out on a lot. The earlier I get to a place the better.

I always get the place a few minutes earlier,but if the friend I have to meet is a late guy I will a little later than the date time.And I'm not patient enough to wait someone more than 15 minutes.

It depends - if it's anything to do with business, doctors or official matters, I am always early. If it's a casual meeting with friends, I will try to be punctual; though I most probably won't be early.

I am naturally punctual as well and I am always in a hurry to get somewhere for some reason. This is why I am early most of the time if not right on time. I always miscalculate how long it will take me to get somewhere, either I end up going really early or late. I also hate people who are late even though I am late sometimes as well. I just find it very rude especially when you have an appointment or something. With friends, I do not worry as much because it is just a casual meeting. I could understand if the bus was late or there was a lot of traffic because of an accident or something, but not if it was on purpose. I am glad your friends stopped being late. It was good you told her and good of her to listen.

i was, i am, and will probably always be a late arrival! haha. i hate it when i get to the place really early, especially when i'm alone. i don't want to waste my time waiting for everyone else to come. i know, it sounds so selfish :D well, im really trying to change it but its really hard. i know sooner when i get to be professional, time will always be valuable so i have to get rid of this bad habit of mine.

Heyya scorpio! I'm usually early but only by about 5 minutes. I think that falls into the catagory off just in time. I like for things to get started on time,whatever it is,so I'm not happy when people involved are late. I do understand that things come up and I'm ok with that but not for someone that is late all the time.

I am the extremes kind of person so it's either I am really really early or really really late and kinda nothing in between. I hate being late as I have always been taught by my dad to be very professional at all times. Back in college even if my class is still at 7:45am, I am already at school by 7:20am. Now that I am already working and on my first job, I am already at the office by 7:45am even though my work starts at 8:30am. That's how disciplined I am. But yeah, I also experience bad days so I experience coming in late too.

Im honest to be punctual at all times in every event im am attending and meeting.I hate being late or i hate who do late in appointment.Time for me is very important not because im not running of time to do or to attend. In preparation of any meetings, appointment atleast 15 minutes before meeting or working time i usually arrive early .It is good to be on time.

I am more of a early bird yea , i do want let me people wait too long for no reason yea .

I like to be punctual and always try to arrive early. I don't like being late to anything.

Hi Scorpio..I try always to be wherever on time yet there is always times when being late cannot be helped yet again if I turn up early it is a bonus...hugs littleowl

I'm always an early bird.. i hate being late.. whenever there's an appointment, girls night out, meeting or party i always make sure to arrive on time.. i remember when my hubby and i were still dating, i always arrive an hour earlier on our meeting place and he ends up always being late.. yay!

hello scorpio when i know that i am going to go out somewhere like that, i always make sure that i am on time, i am never late and if i am late in arriving somewhere, then it is usually not my fault at all. lol but why have a get together or an event and have people show up late like that for. you know? everybody knows what time that the event is going to be and i really do not see any reason for being late unless one had to work or something like that and had no choice to show up late. or maybe somebody could have had some vehicle problems or something like that, that would cause them to be late in arriving somewhere on time. or sickness in the family and so on. i guess that their could be all different kinds of reasons for being late to an event. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I always try to be punctural cause i don't want to wait for others or have others wait for me. however, because of the traffic, sometimes i am a few minutes early or late. i think just off by a few minute is acceptable, right?
