Are you a punctual person or not? Are you someone that strictly keeps every appointment? Have you ever been late for important meetings, exams, or dates?

I'm always on time. I don't like to be late to anything. I have 2 brothers and we're all different. If we're supposed to be at mom's for Thanksgiving at 2 my oldest brother will be there no later than 1:30. I'll be there at 2, not a minute earlier. My other brother will be there....um....well, let's just say we tell him to be there a couple of hours earlier..lol.

I have never been late for any meetings,exams or dates,regardless it is important or not.I do not like waiting,so I think it not good to keep others waiting for me,so I always try my best to be punctual.I preferred getting there earlier than two hours to being late one minute.if i get there too early,I will look around here and there,bacause I know my appearance too early may lead to boresome to the other.

Yes, I am fairly punctual. I have alarms to help & a diary. Having children can muck things up a bit though.
I am embarrseed when late for an appointment because my daughter was slow to get ready.

I am a punctual person, but my spouse is always late. I've never been late for important meetings or appointments. For me I believe punctuality is a good habit. Being late gives other people a bad impression and first impressions are important.

I am always on time,or early. It really gets to me when people can't be on time. If it's a one off, then maybe they can be excused, but when they are habitually late to everything, it's like they're saying your time is not important. I especially get that feeling when professionals are always running late, eg Doctors,specialists etc. If you rocked up late to their appointment, you probably wouldn't get in, but I bet you'd still get their bill!

I am always on time. I hate being late!! I am usually early, but if I'm not early then I am right on time for something. It drives my mother crazy because she'll think I'll be late, but I'll get somewhere RIGHT ON TIME. I know how to time things. My timing has always been very very good.
