Being on time is about respecting other peoples time, not about obeying anything.
- I'm a hyperpunctual person who had to learn to appreciate that just because some people have difficulty meeting a schedule it doesn't necessarily mean they don't respect me. Some people have a lot going on, even if just figuratively speaking.
  Helped me to realize that even I'm not showing up on time out of a respect for other people, I just fear consequences. Ironically it really is dictatorship of the clocks for me.
  
  Interesting. I always see it as "I chose to be there at the specific time, the clock helps us both respect the others time better". Its a coordination device. Early in life we don't choose the time usually, like school and job etc. So might come with a flavor of tyranny. Interesting
  
  This. When I'm late, it's generally because of my health issues. If I can, I try to set meeting times so that I have at least a chance of making it on time, but my issues make planning rather difficult.
  
  I've found people who are consistently late do not respect others.
- Maybe it's a "late to the party" kind of thing.

I had a mate who was consistently 15 mins - 3 hours late to everything. It's rude to do that to your friends.
- I have a friend that's that way .. her boyfriend at the time made her tell us why she's always late for everything.
  Because I hate to wait on people
  Like removed you're making us wait Everytime we hang out.... GTFO of here with that shit.
  Since then, We don't hang out as much . And we now plan to be a bit late for everything with her.
  My wife and I have a toddler so that helps. Haha
  
  She hates to wait on people so refuses to turn up on time, making everybody else wait on her? Jesus, what a nightmare. Does she think she's the queen of england or something? 😂
- Did they install cable?
  
  Nah, unemployed for a good chunk of time. Turns out, turning up consistently late to every job you have and constantly missing full days isn't a great plan.

I don't remember this quote, so I went digging and I can't find this in the show. Anyone have a link?
- Def not in the show. Doubt the person who made the meme has ever even seen the show tbh
- Sir, this is a meme community
  
  All memes now require thorough citations

Upvote just because Daria.

Time is a social construct. People living under capitalist regimes are sensitive about having their time wasted because they need to sell their time in order to survive.
- Idk I feel like time is also valuable when you starve to death if you don't go hunting and gathering often enough...
  
  You gather when you're hungry. Hunger is as good a measure as time.

I am never late, I am always on time (or early), other people are too early

I'd much rather people be late than early. That shit drives me crazy.
