    Are you punctual? Do you usually arrive on time for something rather than not? Would you rather arrive earlier than usual? Does it annoy you when someone else is late?

    I absolutely hate being late, especially for classes at school. Since you know, punishments and all haha. Otherwise I don't really care, I just try not to be late.

    I don't mind other people being late as long as it doesn't negatively impact me personally.

    I personally believe, better early than late, but better late than never. Odd phrase for a procrastinator (at least first part).

    I usually don't miss deadlines, especially for homework because of the fact that I'm so scared of disappointment from my teachers, family and myself. I like to think that it's better to be five minutes earlier rather than five minutes late. I've not once been tardy to any of my classes this entire year (although, I have been absent four times)! It does irritate me when people are late. I mean, you know exactly what time class starts. It's not like we're just barely beginning our high school careers! And even if I miss breakfast, I still make on-time. That's not easy because I don't live close to my school at all. So many other kids live sooo much closer to school than I do, yet they're always late to first period.

    I'm the most punctual person you'll met - I always plan things out so I arrive at least 20 minutes early incase something happens. That and I feel a lot better just getting somewhere, class especially, when there are few others around. Awkward to walk into a classroom with most people already sitting at their desks. Early arrival or no-go. D:

    Unless it's homework, I'm good at being on time and sometimes I'll show up like 30 minutes early (usually it's more around 10 minutes)

    When others are late, they hear about it from me. I am very punctual myself, and if not, then I'm always early. There needs to be a very legitimate excuse for the person to be late, otherwise I just label them "irresponsible" in my mind, and probably for the rest of all eternity.

    I tend to stray on the late side of the spectrum when I have to get up the motivation to go somewhere that's out of my routine. Like for classes and things I know I need to get to though, I'll arrive early. Homework is usually done on the very late end before the deadline though. :P

    I absolutely hate being late! I always hate having the other person wait for me when I couldn't make it to the scheduled timing. However when they are late, I do not mind so much if they are close friends of mine and gave one a leeway for an hour but he wasn't picking up or responding so I left. Turned out there was a family emergency but he managed to see me later in the day.

    I'd definitely arrive earlier than the scheduled time so that I am definitely not late :D

    Better early than on time is one of my mottos!

    If I go somewhere for the first time, or it's something really official, I make absolutely sure that there's no way I can get too late. That's just something I think is really important, people count on you so you have to come in time. However, when the situation is less serious or I'm more comfortable with the people, I can be a little bit late from time to time. I know that's not a good thing, but I still do it :/

    I usually try to arrive on time, but sometimes I just can't wake myself up and it sucks. When I went to school though I would go every morning on time.

    I'm usually on time! So if I'm ever late it's usually forgiven, though I so still get angry with myself when I am lol.

    I absolutely cannot stand arriving late, so I'm always on time for everything. Being punctual is a great life skill :)

    To be early is on time. To be on time is late. And to be late...

    I've always stuck by this, there are times I am 30 minutes early for classes, and 20 minutes early for social events. It makes you look more professional.

    I'm very paranoid about getting to places on time. I can't stand the thought of being late or anything like that, and if I am, I just feel so guilty.

    I'm always perfectly on time for every event I go to. If they want me there at 5 PM, I'm there at 5 PM; not 4:59, not 5:01, but 5 PM on the dot. My motto: There's no such thing as being early. Either you're on time or you're late.

    I try my best not to be late but when it comes to repetitve really early morning stuff I can get lax with it. Waking up at 5 every morning gets tedious after a while, especially if I end up getting in late.
    For the most part I'll end up being earlier than I need to be. Quite often I'll end up being at college an hour before the class actually starts;; It's a nice opportunity to sit and draw quietly before everyone crowds in though, not that big of a problem
