Are WIS punctual? My brief story of punctuality and looking at the time etiquette.

[geoffbot]

I'm pretty punctual I guess, except that time I missed my train home from the gtg because not a single one of these was set to the correct time (true story).

BuahahHAHAHAHA!!!

[Seriously]

Punctual (or early) unless there's been something really beyond my control and normal allowance for en-route.

It's what we do.

Do most of you other guys consider yourselves punctual ...

Yes.

... incorporate that into why you began your watch collection?

No. At least it wasn't a conscious effort to do so.

Do you agree one of the advances a traditional time piece will have over any modern smart phone is that fact one can discreetly look at the time and its less rude

Certainly, as long as you substitute the word 'advances' for 'advantages'
Reasonably certain I've never used my phone to check the time.

Final thought: Being late is rude - Period.

I used to be late all the time, despite knowing exactly what the time was: idleness trumped caring about being on time.

Then I moved into an environment where being late wasn't an option, where appointments always start *exactly* at the advertised time.

I still like relaxed feelings that come with being idle so I tend to arrive very early to things and then enjoy lazing around until the appointed time.

There was a lot of fiddling with crowns at that one, yeah.... bizarre. None of them were showing the right date either, by the end

..and get extremely wound up...

Fitting for a thread about being "puntual."

There is no excuse for being late...

Per my first post, my guess is you don't have/have never had a teenage daughter...

When i have an apointement on location, i touch the doorhandle or bell on the second we had agreed to meet. When people come to me i can live with excactly 15 minutes delay. There is no excuse for being late, and if your stuck in traffic or smtn, you should call in front to warn that you will be later for reason X or Y, and ask if that would be a problem. I don't do buissiness with people who are late, and i don't hire people who are late.

This to a T.
I was always taught it was a lack of respect for other people's time.

I'll be late to my own funeral.
