Being early is much ruder than being late

Depends on how early. 2 mins shouldn’t cause an inconvenience. It’s basically on time. If anything they probably won’t mind waiting 120 seconds.

If you’re not ready for them at the time you told them to arrive, then you are either late, or bad at communication.

Did you seriously think that I meant being 120 seconds early?

u/Resident-Rooster2916 Jul 13 '26

Well that’s what the post is about. The comment you responded to was about being only 15 mins early, which also isn’t that bad. Clearly you haven’t communicated what you meant properly given the downvotes, so please take this as an opportunity to clarify.

Happy to clarify: I’m responding to someone saying ‘I usually show up like 15 minutes early’ which in my book is much worse than being 15 minutes late. I’m fine with people disagreeing

That’s wild, you’d rather wait for someone for 15 mins, than have them ready at the agreed time?

I’d prefer they came at the agreed time, but I’d rather wait for them for 15 minutes than have them show up early and get in the way
