Miguel of Metamorphosism likes to be punctual.

I don’t do all the calculation you speak of (and I don’t bug other people about this) but I’m just happier to get to a place early. less pressure!

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever move to Portugal.

“Bussiness” meeting at 10:00 AM: people show up at 10:00, 10:15 or not at all. (Without calling)

Casual meeting: Let’s say you plan to have dinner at 21:00. This means that you leave the house at 21:00. The fact that you live 30 minutes away (by car) is not a consideration.

Or fifteen, or five.

But then there are people who are always exactly five minutes late, every day of their lives. The traffic knows who they are, and shifts itself to get them there not four, not six, but five minutes after time.

I have a friend who’s always spectacularly, ludicrously late. Minimum one hour, once four hours. I’d like to say that this doesn’t drive me effing nuts – but alas, I can’t.

People who are late all the time always have an excuse – traffic, someone else dragging their feet, etc. But then I think, how can the universe be so aligned that I always get there on time, and they are thwarted at every turn?

Lateness is rudeness.
