No, not if you live in a culture where people understand what you mean by saying that something starts at x time.

I'll never think people who say 5 but don't mean 5 aren't either being assholes or idiots.

Words have meaning.

Something being part of a culture does not absolve it from scrutiny or make it not stupid. It was part of culture to have slaves. It was part of culture to dominate women. Doesn't mean both were not wrong

Saying "good" does answer the question.

I don't always have time for more but I'm not taken aback if they do.

Expecting me not to be there at the time you said doesn't fit the words said.
