...when the host(ess) of some event will not state a starting time explicitly, leaving literalists like me to wonder what subjective rules apply about when to actually arrive??!!

"Party...8-12... arrive at 8:05 to find cleaning still in progress and hosts not dressed..."

So you pitch in to help clean, and offer to greet guests at the door while the hosts get dressed.

Been there, done that.

... when the first guests to arrive at your party, and the last ones to leave, are the most boring ones.

Stop the cleaning.
Throw a plastic sheet over everything.
Take your clothes off too.
Break out the Wesson oil.

...you get 15 blocks down the road with that sub sandwich you ordered WITHOUT onions, and discover .....yep...

(I turned around and went back and complained...and the girl at the grill heard me and turned around and said,"...but I LIKE onions!".

I demanded an entirely new sub.)

You feel a gurgling in your innards, and you rush into the john in Tim's, and everything sort of gushes loose, and then you look around and realize someone let dispenser run out of paper.

froggy... I was on a construction job in Wabush, Labrador. As a site engineer, I never got to work later than 6AM. I had a key. The only peeps in the building were in the Flight Service Station, one floor up at the other end of the building. I only ripped off one of the sides off my undershorts and managed to get to the next stall.
