I work at a library and every morning we have a very casual staff meeting before open at 8:45am. everyone has already arrived for work at like 7:30/8am, and we're all within a one minute distance of the front desk...and yet they require a "5 minute warning" call, and then everyone gets there 5 minutes early to just...wait. I'm obviously in the minority here bc I walk up on the dot and they all think I'm late. this is me in a nutshell. I'm always either exactly on time but usually late to everything and I will never understand how people are early to things, like I'm going to USE every last second before I HAVE to be somewhere
@BROOKS haha yesss this is what I mean, like I don’t need to be stressed over 5 mins. I can’t make it early anywhere either, but on time for important things. Why not save everyone the anxiety and say 7:55?
I feel like people who r on time is fine, but people, who r “getting nervous” when they’re not 2 hours early is super annoying….
Growing up my parents would show up late EVERYWHERE and more often than not, it felt humiliating and that's why I reach everywhere before time. At first I used to be annoyed when people got late but now I'm more chill. 10 mins is okay and 15 min late is pushing it, but if someone reaches the designated place 30 min late without a valid excuse, it just feels disrespectful.
@MEGH Oh yeah, at least give a person a heads up wayyy beforehand if you’re running that late lol even if it’s 5 mins, always text
I love being a person with help-my-zipper-caught-in-my-jacket buffer time! Normalize being normal!
@HARMANZWORLDDDDD perf :) we can just both get there calmly, a few mins late if needed
