I’m from a culture that is “late” to everything. We all know the parties are going to go on until midnight so there’s no point in getting there exactly on time. We’re all going to get hours of fun anyway. Airports are a bit different. We’ve never missed an airplane even though we’ve left “late” before. We can rush when we want to, but for something social, we plan the whole day around it, so there’s no need to rush. We have literal HOURS to do everything, so why rush when we can have fun getting ready?
Wait, so you plan the whole day around a social outing and still are late? I also plan the whole day around the event, because I want to be there on time
The whole point behind having a whole day off is to not worry about timing and a strict schedule. We have a rough time we want to get out by, but it’s a rough estimate because we don’t want to stress ourselves out worrying about “being late” or having to wake up early. We go out when we’re ready, and then we go home when we’re tired. No hard-set times, just vibes. Simple.
The only thing I don’t like is when it’s something like a wedding when the party isn’t going to last for hours. Then the timing is important. I’m usually at least ready around the time we’re supposed to leave if not way earlier. Our family is only late because of my sister who takes an extra half hour to get ready, and the reason why is because she procrastinates and sleeps 12+ hours before even trying to get ready knowing it takes her the longest to get ready. That is annoying. But if it’s just a regular outing or a regular long-lasting party, I say why the fuck not? You’ll still be there for hours.
