My watches and clocks are set to the national time signal. If I test drive a car or drive someone else's vehicle , I will adjust the clock. I used to think I was OCD, but in the last few years I describe it as CDO, because the letters are in the right order.
I try to be on time, maybe walk in the door a couple of minutes early in order to be ready when whatever is happening has to start.
I have a SIL who basically thinks clocks are decoration. If we are having Christmas dinner, people will tell her it is to start an hour earlier than it does, just to get her sorry self there when her mother wants her. Her house is a three minute drive away.
When her father passed in 2013, the funeral was held up for at least 15 minutes. More than 200 people who had come to honor my FIL sat on their asses while this selfish individual entitled @#$%&! took her own sweet time to get to the church.
What made it worse was she had the first reading. That's not happening again.
I made a frustrated comment to the effect that "H**** will likely be late to her own funeral." To which one of the funeral staff replied, "Give her to us. She'll be there on time." I like his attitude. I was willing to have him start immediately.
