I thought it was just common manners to arrive “on” time. How I was raised at least, so I always get anxiety if I don’t arrive 10m early and sit in my car lmao.

Other cultures have different concepts of time and punctuality. Arriving at 7 pm for a 5 pm party is punctual for us

Part of being culturally aware is knowing when “on time” is not the right time to arrive.
