I like to be on time for everything. My boyfriend sometimes does not understand this, especially in relation to parties. He has this attitude that it's okay to be late. But I am usually the person who wants to help the host/hostess, so we're usually there early.
The only thing I'm occasionally late for is work, and even then I'm not actually late--I'm supposed to be at work by 8am, but like to give myself 15 minutes to get prepared for the day, and sometimes I only give myself 10. But I do look forward to this fall, when my first class is at 9am and only two days a week. After getting up at 7am all summer for work making it to a 9am class will be cake.
Recently I had to make a six-hour drive to Washington to visit family. It irked me that we got going late and weren't going to be there early like I had planned. I managed to make up time (no traffic, 70 mph speed limit) but it still annoyed me that I was 15 minutes past my scheduled arrival time.
