whats the big deal with being on time?

I think it is important to be on time. I am always on time. In fact I am usually early, but I would rather be early then late.

After all the questions about phobias yesterday by members of MyLot,I think I must have a phobia about being lare and therefore am probably not the best to answer this question. If I agree to meet someone at a particular time,then I have come to an agreement with them where by I have given my word on something.My word is one of the few things I have left in this world so I do not give it out easily. That said,I do not mind waiting a few minutes fo someone.As long as I kept my word.

Life is about deadlines. In the working world, if you're late, your company might be late on an investment, or business transaction and lose money.

Being punctual is a form of politeness in society. When you are constantly late you are being nothing but rude. It is one thing to be running late once in a while, be caught in traffic, etc. It is another thing to be constantly keeping people waiting because you don't "believe" in punctuality.
