[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You seriously can’t figure that out?  
If you arrive before the appointed time you wait in the car. Or drive around.  Or make a stop on the way if you’re super early.  No teleporter necessary. [/quote]

No thanks, I have other shit to do.  I’m not going to plan for every possible contingency and then sit or drive around for half an hour just so I am not, God forbid, a few minutes late for dinner.

I leave a reasonable amount of time for unexpected minor delays, but sometimes shit happens and people are late.  [/quote]

Ok so you’re rude. And can’t plan for sh¡t. You do you boo. [/quote]

Ok so you’re uptight.  And apparently don’t have a life.  You do you boo.[/quote]

Yes, and yes!  See how I own that?  Super easy. Self awareness is a gift. [/quote]
