i like arriving a little before i should be somewere, since im very punctual but also like to have a time space that allowes unforeseen stuff to happen. If someone says that we will met at a place at a certain time, i take it as an agreement, and always try to be there a few minutes before the agreed time.

it is a good habit. it is a good idea to deal with unforeseen stuff by arriving ahead of schedule, that's responsible. Thank you for sharing your opinion.

I am very punctual. I cannot stand it to be unorganized. It makes me feel like I am not being all that I can be to make the most out of every day if things are haywire or out of plce and not in sync. Are you puctual too?

me? ha ha... I am hesitating, because it is difficult to say I am punctual or unpunctual. For importance I thought, I am very punctual, such as work. but sometimes, I am unpunctual, I'm ashamed. Thank you for responding.

Your welcome. I am a very organized person. I can't stand when things are all out of whack. I guess I was raised that way a little bit, but my life is alot easier by being prompt.

Yes, I am very punctual. Never been late to work on my current job, over 6 years. Am never late for a lunch or dinner commitment as the person I am meeting has valuable time as well. Being late tells me someone doesn't care unless there is a true emergency. That's why we all have cell phones! I am generally 10 to 15 minutes early to work or to meet friends. I'd rather they be late than myself.

Most of the time, I am punctual. Others shall know if I am late, be sure I have met an accident or I have a good reason for it. Wasting other's time is a bad habit. So I dislike others to be late. Usually I will arrive a few minutes earlier.

Hello,nanguofong! you know time is very precious.time and tide wait for none.so you should be very careful for time management.the people who do not have knowledge of time management can never achieve success in life.specially in these days one should be very careful about punctuality both in social life as well as in office.normally the politicians of today lacking this knowledge of time management.they usually reach in the meetings late,causing irritation to the people.punctuality makes a person distinct,it makes him respectable.i am always punctual in all walks of life.i personally hate those people who make me wait for no cause.thank you.

I agree with you. In business field, unpunctual meeting or trading means lack of credit, which would causes big losing. thank you for sharing your opinion.

It is one of my peeves to be late. I HATE to be late... and I will do whatever I can do to make sure I am where I need to be when I am supposed to be there. With the world of cell phones, GPS systems, computers, heck even CLOCKS, there is no reason that anyone should be late and if they are then the person (people) that need to know should be notified that you will be late. Being always late is a frame of mind, a thought process... not just someone who is busy.

I try very hard to be punctual. I will never forget when my babies were younger and we had to go out. My mum had my eldest son and I had my infant twins to get ready.. I was still ready before her!!

I am a person who really does enjoy getting things done as soon as possible. I am sure that others do feel the same way as I do. Therefore, it is really the benefit for all that I am as punctual as I can be. I get there on time, perhaps a little bit early, the other person or people get their. Then we conduct whatever needs to be conducting, getting it done and life goes on. I mean, there is really no problems when life does happen like this. There are a lot of people who are rather late and I never really got that to say the very least. Things to happen granted, but at least make the effort to get there on time. If you get there on time, you are going to get things done. If you get there late, things are going to be rather slow going.
