    Cause traffic, slow public transit? Last minite things that parents ask you to do? e.g. do this before going out, drink soup, etc.

    i guess i would say that im more of the on time person or perhaps a little late.

    this is because the majority of the people are always late and there is no point in coming so early in the first place.

    but if its a one on one thing, usually im on time. =)

    Okay... from most of the answers, I've got the feeling that many has the "I'm late because the other friends are going to be late, why should I be on time and wait around" attitude.

    I just wonder why people cannot be on time... is all ^^b Coz I take public transit plenty and I cannot stand (and probably cannot live down) the fact that my friends has to wait for me :p

    But really, how many of you make up a "fake, earlier" meeting time just so your usually late friends will be on time?

    I am always early, I don't want to be late. But sometimes I can be bit irritating when my friends arrive late. I am the only one who lives in a small village, everytime when I want to see my friends I need to take a bus for a 40 minutes.
    All of my friends come with their bicycles ( that only takes 10 minutes ) or bus
    ( 5 minutes!) and even then I have to wait another half hour till they all arrive...not once..... always.....

    That sometimes irritates me a bit...I am the only one who has to take some many time to travel to meet them..... and then they will let me wait each time. 5-10 minutes its ok, but 30 minutes...... I could get the next bus and sleep 30 minutes longer in bed!!!!
    and you can say: the next time you will let them wait for 30 minutes....... but they will not wait... they will already start to see the shops or something else when everybody else has arrived except me, and they will give me call to tell me where they are and I have to search for them............

    SIGH

    ( sorry for my bad english)

    I would be the bad guy, it would be a wonder if I'm on time.
    but it happens that I'm early, it even shocks myself...

    @ImInLove: I share your sentiment, I just nag and nag and nag then the next time I will still be early. Because the world is filled with egocentric morons who just think their time is SO precious that they will be late for 2 hours. =_=b

    And yeah, I totally hated waiting. So I devised a 30-minutes wait policy. Anything more than that is fair game (that I leave). I just DO NOT understand why people who drives (takes a fragging 15 minutes) will be late for 2 hours?! And I take the stupid bus which takes forever to get anywhere... :(
