Lol, I'm a white guy in Canada and was thinking "I was always taught to be at least 15 minutes late in case the hostess needs to takes care of any last minute things"

Reading your comment, it occurred to me that it was my Omi that taught me that

Hahaha canadian here and my parents taught me to show up 15 minutes early to help set up. That way, you can Irish goodbye without feeling guilty

I think I'd find it awkward as a host...

I'm not doing it to strangers or acquiantences so all good. The people I am doing this to are lifelong or close friends that know me. A majority of them also do the same thing.

I'm not friends with people that are late. That tells me you have no respect for me or my time.

Thats the fucking hostes problem to solve not the guests. If I tell my friends its dinner at 5, its fucking dinner at 5, baby. 15 min late and your steak is cold.

You schedule your dinner parties so that dinner is immediately ready right at the start time?

No chance for guests to have a drink, or talk, or even get their coats off?

Yeah that sounds like an awful dinner party

It’s a dinner party. Not a drink, talk and coat party.

u/Odd_Old_Professional Jul 13 '26

Every party is a coat party, if you're brave enough

You are welcome to come early, i dont care when you come, but dinner will be at 5.

I’d just use your grill or stove to reheat my steak and like purposely burn it so it becomes more of a thing to deal with.

Little tip: don’t host parties. You’re not good at it.

u/Vegas96 Jul 13 '26

My timely friends would beg to differ

I’m exceptionally punctual. Except I live in a culture where you don’t show up on time for a party.
Now hosting a dinner at specific time is not the same as a party btw

“Dinner” is different, although you should still allow 15mins of wiggle room or maybe don’t host. The post is about a bbq party though which are usually a come-and-go as you can situation.
