Question: is it better to be chronically late by 15 minutes, or chronically early by 15 minutes? I think conventional wisdom is "if you're early you're on time, if you're on time, you're late." But I think always showing up early, especially to someone's house, is also potentially rude.

To someone’s house I feel like a few minutes late is on time. To a business or office early is on time.

Always be early

I'm always early but I know that no one likes that, so I have found ways of killing time by myself. It's much easier in the cell phone era.

depends on what you’re early or late for. Eg as a matter of principle and rule one must always be early for a court appearance even if you know the judge will likely not begin the hearing for at least 10 mins after its start time. Work mtgs you shouldn’t be late imo. Social? depends on the host

I always figure that if I'm there, I can kill time, but if I'm running late, a disaster can always happen.
