I'm the type of person who always makes sure they arrive early for something or on time. It bugs me when i go with someone who always seems to arrive late to things, and it gets on my nerves especially if it gets real constant!
So what type of person are you? are you the one who always arrives early, on time, or late for something?

Always on time. I try not to arrive too early depending on the situation or the occasion. Arriving late is rude and can be annoying if it is done on a regular basis. My in-laws are always late - my wife and I now tell them to arrive 30 min prior to everyone else to ensure they are on time.

Always early. Try to get there on time but end up 5 mins early...
If it isn't a good friend's house I circle the block a couple times.
If it is meeting people out I just have a drink at the bar.
As far as people being late, I just leave without them. Can't stand people wasting my time.

I like to arrive early -- but not too early, maybe 5, 10 minutes. It drives me nuts to be "on time", and late is just not tolerated. Makes me so nervous!

It depends on the situation. Either early or right on time. I am never late. But I also never put my elbows on the table and don't talk on my cell phone in line at the store. So it's safe to say I'm not the norm! ha.. I just think so many people these days have zero respect for others. It's so sad..
oh my gosh.. i sound like I'm 50.. i'm really only 23! ha

I try to arrive a little early for everything, but sometimes I am late. It just can't be helped sometimes.

I personally like to be a few minutes early, I hate to be late for anything, and certainly don't like it when someone else is the cause of making me late.

I'm usually early or on time. I hate it when people show up late. 8 yrs ago for Christmas I told my brother and his family that we'd eat at 5:00pm. They showed up at 5:30 and luckily for them I had just everything ready as they walked through the door. We were going to go ahead without them anyway. I've never invited them back since and probably never will.
Not nice to tick off mother nature.

I'm always late to everything. It sucks but being raised that way... it's very hard to break. However if I am too early I hate that... you just end up sitting around for a while.
