I usually like to get to where I have to be, early. If I'm there early then I don't worry as much. I could say that I am punctual, but there are times when I'm not.

I hate to be late for something, anything. I would rather be 1/2 hour early than 5 minutes late. Unfortunately, being that way makes me annoyed at people who are always late. I do get extremely tense when I know I'm going to be late for something.

I always try to be on time or even ten-fifteen minutes early. I hate running late, I get so nervous I feel sick. The only times that I can get late to and not get nervous is when I'm meeting up with my friends, because they know my family has a habit of running out of time. A habit I'm working hard on breaking.

Me too..but I get nervous even when I have to attend a family function and get late..I think that I am going to miss all the action there if I am late:)

I am very punctual. I usually will arrive early to all events because it makes me mad when people are late when I invite them somewhere. If I do end up being late because of a certain situation, I get very stressed out.

Hi there. Personally speaking both my husband and I are very punctual, we dont like to be late for anything, especially appointments, family gatherings and meetings, interviews... Ive now noticed our son whose just turned 14, is also puntual, he refuses to be late to anything, including school... We like to arrive to where ever we need to be aleast 5-10 minutes early...

I am always on time or a little late. I don't want to be early because I don't want to wait. I get tense when I know I can't get on time. But I don't panic. I quickly think of an alibi that can get me out of trouble. Being a girl, it's okay for me to be late. They always wait for me. :-)

I like to arrive at places at least 10 minutes early, I get anxious when I cut it too close because I hate being late and holding other people up so I make it a point to be on time. I find it disrespectful when people show up late for scheduled meetings,etc. Particularly if they are people who tend to do it over and over again. I can understand if it happens occasionally, we all have things that come up, traffic, last meeting runs late, etc. But when it happens over and over again, that person either needs to evaluate how they are using their time or purposely is being inconsiderate.
