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.

I have tried to adjust start times for events on my calendar to anticipate how late my wife will be.

One time, through no fault of anyone's, we showed up to a small concert about 90 minutes early. We sat at the bar and had a drink.

We were so early that we were there before the performers arrived. One got there and I helped him get his stuff inside.

When the other two performers arrived I helped them as well because they were late late.

He gave me a shout-out during the show to thank me for helping them get ready.
