If someone can be in the "wrong place at the wrong time", can they also be...?

Question

If someone can be in the "wrong place at the wrong time", can they also be in the right place at the wrong time or in the wrong place at the right time?
(Which category do I use for this type of question?)

Answer 1

Since nothing is right or wrong, there are no right or wrong times or places. What is simply is. And if it wasn't then it would be something else.

Answer 2

I do not believe that anyone can ever be in the wrong place or in the wrong time. How could that be? And how in the world could you be in the right place at the wrong time? We are always right where we should be. Always.

Answer 3

I can definitely see people being in the right place at the wrong time-- perhaps a good place, but a bad time in their life. They aren't ready for whatever they find there. It's kind of like when you meet the right person (or, at least a great person) at a time in your life when you can't be with them for whatever reason.

As far as being in the wrong place at the right time... the only example I can think of is someone showing up at the wrong restaurant when they are meeting someone for dinner! =)

Philosophy sounds like a good category for this question, in my opinion.

Answer 4

If you are supposed to got to the doctor at 8:00am, but instead you go to the grocery store at 8:00am then you are in the wrong place at the right time.

If you get to the doctor at 10:00 am then you are at the right place at the wrong time.

Philosophy is a good category.

Answer 5

Sure, they can also be in the wrong and right place at the right or wrong time.

Answer 6

Dr. John wrote a good blues song about this called (if I remember right) "Rite Place at the Wrong Time". That would make good background music for your meditations on the subject.

Answer 7

Yes, Yes and Yes. You could go to see a concert at the arena on the right night but get there late or on the right night but wrong arena or wrong night but right time and see a different performer or the wrong arena at the wrong time on the wrong night. So, be sure to check your ticket!

Answer 8

Of course, lets say the "right place at the right time" is the pier at four o'clock, if you are at the pier, but at 5 o'clock,right place, wrong time, if you are somewhere at 4 o'clock, but let's say that place is the movie theatre, wrong plae, right time, or if you were at the movie theatre at 5 o'clock, wrogn place at the wrogn time, of course, if you are usign the phrase as it is commonly used, in whihc the wrogn place at the wrong time is more specific, then let's say soemthing bad happened at 5 o'clock at the movie theatre, such as a shooting, if you are there at 4 o'clock, wrong place, right time, kinda, since the right time is any tiem other than the time of the shooting, and vice versa.

Answer 9

the right category, you are...

on to your query... all at the right moment (or the wrong one perhaps) one can be caught off-guard. sometimes, constructive. sometimes disruptive. on that particular moment, the situation differs from any angle. often times, fate leads us to where we are. depending on how one views it, we were there for a reason. that is, mind you, something that can't be perceive as justifiable or in a certain extent, explained.

just this, at any moment, in any given situation or event - a witness, a victim, a successor converge to form that actual scenario. else, no moment is created. and that particular event is impossible to conceive.

Answer 10

no, you can only be in the right place at the right time.
to be in the right place at the wrong time is the same as being in the wrong place ect.
