[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm secondhand embarrassed for all these people railing on OP when they don't know basic good manners for visiting people. (I suspect a dose of misnadry, but I wouldn't accuse it.)

[b]An invitation to arrive at 5 means you should  arrive *after* 5.[/b] It's rude to crash a host before they are ready, and absurd to arrive exactly at a specific minute.

A good host announces 2 times: an "arrive after" time, and a "dinner is served" ("arive before") time.

WTAF??  Did you even read your linked source?

#2 in How to Be a Good Guest says BE ON TIME. Your link literally says guest should arrive [b]AT or a little after (no more than 15 min) [/b]the time stated on the invitation. Nowhere does it say it’s absurd to arrive on the dot. [/quote]

Which is exactly what OP did.

Do you have a teleporter? How do you get somewhere *exactly* at a time? [/quote]

I was replying to the moron who posted an article and said that a 5 pm arrival means you arrive 5 minutes after 5, when the article said no such thing. S/he was just making sh¡t up then claiming it was from Emily Post. [/quote]
