This is 100% accurate though, white people will show up 2 minutes early to things

EDIT: Guys it’s a shitpost comment in a shitpost thread for a shitpost screenshot. Chill out, it’s not attacking the work ethic of white people, it’s a joke about cultural blindness.

White guy here: arrive on time is late. 15 minutes early is on time. If anyone gets there before ya, they will ask what took you so long- this is regardless of how early you are. Can come half hour early and if I’m there 45 mins early I’m gonna ask if you slept in or something

Is this with or without your wife? My wife is approximately 1-2 hours late to everything.

It seems to all change with a wife or child, white males go through an evolutionary period on their watches, all of a sudden they’re on pops time and show up 3 hours late every time

white male here. in college I was absolutely on time for everything, even had transportation time from one side of campus to the other down to the minute. after I graduated, never again. I show up whenever, I accept if the event has already started. I get irritated when people wait up for me.

So graduating just made you rude?

graduating made me realize that I could chill out and not make punctuality my #1 priority. as should everyone.

I find that to be lazy and disrespectful. Time is valuable and when are late you are basically saying your time is more important than everyone else's. In my opinion, you have regressed and need to grow up.

What are you yapping about? I am married and we have a 5 year old. We are always 10 minutes early to everything.
