I have gotten the "look" and comments from people with whom I have an appointment, because i'm early,lol. I'm like look, I don't care if I have to wait, at least i'm here and I can keep myself busy while you do your thing.


ETA: I'm also chronically early for work and I get the stink eye from coworkers for that.

When I had a caseload of clients I used to see, I didn't care how early they came for their appointment-as long as they didn't expect to be seen sooner than they were scheduled as I had an appointment scheduled every hour (county mental health). If someone did cancel- that was different.

Now, personal plans with friends or a date? Different story! Don't be knocking on my door 1- hour, 1.75 hours early! I am probably in the shower or dressing and you would get the stink eye for arriving that early or I might not even answer the door!

Am I on time? Yes I am. I aim for being dressed and ready to go at least 15 minutes before I need to be.
