Just complaining: people who arrive too early

Unfortunately, I belong to the group of people who always arrive late, a trait I am not particularly proud of. People often claim that this means you value your own time more than that of others, but I don't entirely agree with this. I actually attach little value to time in general, including my own. I find it quite suffocating; having to arrive on time. I think people should take it a bit easier.

Naturally, I don't mind if my friends show up later than agreed. In fact, I prefer it when they arrive a bit late rather than being punctual. And guess what I find even worse than people who arrive on time? Exactly: people who arrive too early, in my opinion, they are the absolute worst. It's a certain type of person that I prefer not to allow in my life. Fortunately, I now only associate with latecomers, so that apparently creates a bond.

This is actually a plea for earlycomers, whom I would like to hold up a mirror. Why? Because arriving too early is just as antisocial as arriving too late. Imagine this: you go to dinner at friends' house and they are cooking for you, and you suddenly show up fifteen minutes early. They are probably still whipping cream for dessert or changing clothes after spending hours in the kitchen. In other words: they really need those few minutes, but you take that away from them by arriving too early. There's a good chance they will be quite annoyed when they unexpectedly hear that doorbell already. See, and that I call antisocial.

Another example: you arrive too early at your sports class, forcing you to witness the last ten minutes of the previous lesson. Isn't that super awkward? Everyone there is sweating and struggling through the last exercises while you are just standing by watching. The thought of it makes me nervous.

And what about arriving too early at a restaurant? Because of you, the staff has to rush to prepare another table, as the guests at the reserved table have just asked for the bill. And that while you are the one who shows up before the reservation time. Do you see where I'm going with this?

The conclusion of my story: arriving too early shows that you value your own time more than that of others, because by arriving before the agreed time, you unnecessarily rush someone. Therefore, it's better to arrive a bit later and give people the necessary peace and relaxation. Do you agree? Which team do you belong to? Team too early, too late, or right on time?
