re: Punctuality - 1-10, how important is it to you?

Vince Lombardi said if you on time you’re ten minutes late. I’m usually about 20 minutes late using that scale. Sometimes 30.

Punctuality - 1-10, how important is it to you?

In my younger days, I'd fall somewhere around 6.

Now that I'm deep into middle age, I'm around 11.

I absolutely despise when people waste my time by show up late or not at all for something.

And I'm am now almost always early for things. And if I happen to be late, I apologize to the person for wasting their time.

Time is precious and I'm a lot closer to the finish line of life than the starting line. I take this shite seriously.

If you’re not 15 minutes early you’re late!

If you can't be on time, let someone know. Its not hard.

A lack of punctuality shows a lack of discipline and a lack of respect for other people.

Absolutely hate being late for anything and enjoy arriving at least 5 minutes early for an event but don’t tell me that bullshite about being on time means you’re already late when you can inform me to arrive 15 minutes early.

Example: recent fishing charter wanted people to show up 30 minutes early to complete paperwork (previously filled out online when booking the trip but I digress) for the trip. That’s acceptable but when you expect people to show up for an online meeting 10 minutes early to prove your punctuality then frick off.

I like being right on time

Being really early is for nerds

I'm usually a few minutes early because I want to be ready at the appointed time.

Showing up on time doesn't mean a lot if you aren't prepared and ready to go.

10. Cant stand to be late.

20 for me
