I also agree with Destrox on the late thing. I absolutely hate being late, always have. About two years ago I made a "habit" of being either on-time or 5-10 mins late.

Then I had someone show up late on me, multiple times. Kinda got a taste of my own medicine.

On the flip side, tenniels, it feels weird if I'm late now. I had to drill earliness into my personality so I could get the respect that I deserve. I've kinda learned not to live by my fleeting "feelings", because they we're almost always wrong, getting me into some type of trouble.

Our human collective is nothing more than a definition of repeatable behaviors. If someone gets excited/anxious from being late, our brains will want to replicate that feel, and enforce the behaviour that brings it about.

Eh. we're too complicated for our own good sometimes.
