I am one of those people who is always early for everything - I always seem to over-estimate how much time I need in order to get to a particular destination.

But what I really hate is waiting around. I tell myself that, in order to arrive on time, I need to leave the house at 7:00 pm (say) - but at 6:50 pm I can't bear the thought of 10 minutes of inaction (those 10 minutes appear to be an eternity!). But, of course, when I get to my destination 10 minutes early I still have to endure those 10 minutes until everyone else turns up (and they're usually at least 10 minutes late so I have to wait at least 20 minutes) - I can't win!

Another thing that I notice is that, on those rare occasions when I am late, people appear to be much harder on me than on those bozos who are habitually late for everything!
