I'm usually on-time. Meaning up to 5 minutes early or late. But I think a 5 minute swing is totally reasonable. Later than that requires a phone call and an apology.
I am usually early or on time. I can't stand it when people are always late for things. I understand that it happens sometimes, but it is always my same clients that are always late and don't apologize.
Those of you that replied "late", what are you doing that makes you late?
We have a friend that is always late, like 30 minutes or more. I always wonder what the hell she is doing that makes her late so often. My yoga instructor is always 5-10 minutes late and every freaking time she says, "traffic was terrible". Kills me.

Before kids I was always, always early. With just DD, I was early or on time except for when she was a newborn. It took me a month or two to get the new timing down. With two now, I have a tendency to be behind a bit - 5ish minutes. I'm getting better, but it seems like something always happens as we are walking out the door. DS spits up, DD needs her water refilled, I can't find my cell phone, etc.

Usually I'm within 5 (max 10) minutes of when I'm supposed to be somewhere. I don't generally like to be early and sitting around, but I grew up with a mom who was late to everything and that was embarrassing and terrible so I avoid being more than a few minutes late if at all possible
Early before I had S, now I'm almost always on time. It's very unusual for me to be late. When I know I'm running late, I get anxious and panicky. I hate making people wait on me.

Late. And I have a horrible sense of direction. These two things make me annoying.
It is a huge effort on my part to be "on time." So much so, that I have to plan for double the travel time if I am going somewhere new AND double the prep time. Then I make it somewhere +\- 5 minute of the expected time. For most things though, I always plan on the quickest times I have ever gotten ready and the and the fastest travel time I have ever had as the time it will take me. It is self sabatouge, but this is my default.
