If you say 7pm do you get there early? How early?

Just in the nick of time?

do you get there late? How late?


This for work and personal life?

I am always early (maybe by a minute or so) to everything especially at work. I detest tardiness, if people are late to my meetings they are not welcome to join, shows lack of respect for my time.

For personal stuff I generally try to show up at least on time if not early.

Back when I was a dumbass college student I was late for everything. Learned some very hard lessons there when I got to the real world about how stupid I was.

Depends on what I'm going to.  Work I try to be 10-15 minutes early.  Meeting up with friends at a specific time, I'll be early.  Buddy asks if I want to go over for beer, I'll get there when I get there.

Usually on time or 5 minutes early depending on circumstances. If they wanted me to be 15 minutes early they would have just put the time 15 minutes earlier.

My dad raised us that "if you're on time, you're LATE". I am always early, generally 5-15 minutes or so. I always bring my iphone, plus I will have a notebook/pen and maybe a book to while away the time if I am earlier than I expected to be.

I'm always early. Normally 15-30 minutes early. If it's not a good thing to be that early I wait outside.

10 minutes early AT MOST.

Anything earlier makes you look like you've nothing better to do with your time.

I'm never "early" to work because I don't work for free.

This too. I'll either wait in my car or find a nearby shop or cafe or something.

Always early. And if I am choosing to do something with my time, that DOES mean I don't have anything better to do. If I DID have something better to do I would be early for that, instead.

I value people's time, and couldn't give a rats ass about looking cool. If you want to go to lunch with me, it means I feel you are a cool person in some way and you deserve my respect. I don't feel formal attire or anything like that confers any real sense of respect. I SHOW people that I respect them by saying "hey your time is just as valuable as mine."

Also I hate getting stared at, and no surer way to do that than to be the last guy walking into a room

If you're not 10 minutes early, you're 10 minutes late.

That's how I work.

Early, especially when I have to drive somewhere. For telecons and minor meetings it's usually just a minute or two early. For major in-person meetings I'll show up anywhere from 10-30 min early, depending on what's going on.

Over 90% of my meetings are conference calls so I arrive to the call about 5 minutes early. If I am invited to a conference room, I'll arrive 10-15 minutes early.

I'm typically a couple minutes early because I tend to allow a little time for anything to go wrong getting where I'm going.

However, I find almost everyone else I know runs late to everything, meaning that I typically get to things before ANYONE else I know is there.

Personal life - late for everything.

Work life - not generally late...but right on time with barely a moment to spare.
