Actually, I usually try to be just a few minutes early. That way, if something unexpected happens on the way to wherever I am going, I should still make it on time.
I have a few acquaintance and relatives who are always late. I guess they think that we desire their company so much that we will be happy that they bothered to arrive at all. I really appreciate those who come on time, or even a bit early.

I build in time by having my clock in the car set a bit ahead. That helps me and it is not imperative at this time that I must be somewhere exactly at a certain time.
Have been told that being late is arrogance. Doesn't look good not matter what so it is best to be a bit early.

i also set my clock 20 minutes advance. but then again, i know it's advanced so i end up calculating in my end the real time. sometimes i even miscalculate to the point that i end up late. hahaha. i really try to be on time. but it has become a bad habit i guess.

im late most of the time. but it is because think i can manage to be on time and i dont do what i should, that's when i meet with freinds and im late like 5-10 minutes. when i go to chool or have abusiness meeting im late almost on purpose. i just hate to be too early. i wanna be like 1 min before something starts, and so i have to run most of time. it is really bothering habit, sometimes i realy hate it, but i cant do anything about it.

On time. At the moment my watch is set 15 min fast. Sydney transport are unreliable so I had to set it back :/

you can add me to your list of punctual person.i managed to prepare my things the night before and wake up early.if ever that unexpected things happened i still have the time to make a way and be there on time.besides the earlier you begin with your work the more that you can finish.
i think its really tiring if you have to walk fast that it seem you are catching your breath because you want to be there on time.

I am never late. In fact, I am one of those people who is always early. I plan to arrive where I need to be 10-15 minutes early. That gives me a few minutes in case the traffic is especially heavy or I make a wrong turn and need to turn around.

I try to be on time as often as possible an don't like it when people are late. To me, if somebody is late it's kinda disrespectful to me. It feels like they think whatever they're doing is more important than being on time for the thing you planned. My hubby is always late and sometimes it stresses me out when he does this because it affects me by making me late.

I am almost always running late, however I think that it is important to be on time. therefore, I've been working on my punctuality lately. I've also set my clock in my car a few mintues ahead to ensure that I am on time. It makes it much less stressful and hectic if I give myself enough time to get to where I'm going and I don't have to speed like a maniac to avoid being late.
