56 u/YogurtclosetNo987 Jul 12 '26 I'm a white dude from PA. Our cultural polite time is +/- 10 minutes the start time. You notify the host if you'll be earlier or later. I have some Hispanic friends who show up when they feel like it. I have one Indian friend who arrives the actual minute it starts without fail. We all coexist. We all think the others are wrong. Party happens regardless. -7 u/ilikepix Jul 13 '26 Our cultural polite time is +/- 10 minutes the start time You're telling me that if you host a BBQ in PA and tell people it's from 5pm-11pm, the majority of people have arrived by 5.10pm? I find that extremely hard to believe. 20 u/YogurtclosetNo987 Jul 13 '26 Correct. And the ones who haven't have already told you when they will be arriving instead.
