#5 Posted: 5/22/2012 12:23:27 PM I had one professor who would shut the door the minute the class started & if you were 30 seconds late-he wouldn't let you into his class. That taught me to be on time. |

#6 Posted: 5/22/2012 12:51:32 PM Learned this one in the military. I still small amounts of anxiety if I even think I am going to be late. |

#7 Posted: 5/22/2012 1:46:40 PM At a former employer, we used to have an unwritten rule that anybody who showed up late to a meeting pays the meeting organizer $1 as they walk in, or exit immediately.
We always started our meetings on time, and accasionally you could make a few bucks :) |

#8 Posted: 5/22/2012 2:10:16 PM This is just a habit I got into years ago. I hate it when someone tells you a time to meet and shows up late. It's just being courteaus. |

Same exact thing happened to me (military) & I still freak out from even the idea of being late.
Time is one of the few things in life you can never get back - never waste your time or another's.

PT formation at 5:30 and last formation at 16:30. God help you if you're not in uniform and standing at attention for either one.

#11 Posted: 5/22/2012 2:42:53 PM The most simple thing you can do , a must- have habit that will instantly improve your life. I can't believe people still don't get it.
one thing i noticed, sometimes if you get to where you need to go really early you can talk to people and get a lot of valuable info.

#12 Posted: 5/22/2012 2:53:37 PM I think it is really disrespectful to show up to meetings, or to meet people socially, late.
Huge pet peeve of mine. |
