Mostly, I guess, because I'm a hermit at heart and just as soon not be somewhere?

Usually for a Dr's appt, try for 10-15 minutes early. Meeting up with friends, right on time. Rarely ever late.

A big welcome new members!


QOD: I'm typically early, unless there a snafu of having a flat tire or something.

I absolutely detest people who are always late; I see them as people who think their time is more valuable than mine
