"Punctuality is the politeness of kings."
Louis XVIII of France
I am one of those who would rather be 15 minutes early than 1 minute late, no matter the occasion.
But not everyone feels that way.
What do you think? How important is it to be on time and whatever you think, is it the same when (if) you keep someone waiting as when they do you?

15 minutes early? Try 30.
ReplyDeleteTime is money and even if it wasn't, it's just rude to make an appointment with someone and not keep it.
I had a boss who once charged $1 for every minute meeting participants were late to any meeting involving him or his staff. The money went into a department lunch fund.
ReplyDeleteThe first month we had a great lunch but that was it. After that there was never enough money to do it again because everyone made most every meeting on time or at worst one or two minutes late.
