I have a rigid OCD problem with time and time keeping but i do so enjoy daylight savings as it's an excuse to check and reset the numerous watches clocks and time keeping devices i have ah the joy of punctuality anyone else look forward to resetting all their clocks

  • The comments on this thread have been very interesting! I hate being late. Often i panic b4 i am actually late. Often i might only end up being a couple of minutes late and the other person isnt bothered. My partner said dont worry about it till the time youre supposed to be there. Does anyone else feel a sense of uneasiness when the clocks change? I usually get this in spring time and not so much in autumn. I dont know why it is or how i feel uneasy just i know i do.....Autumn is my favourite time of year.

    Being on time and the fear of being late.

     This describes me very well.

    I see it as a positive trait.  But I also suffer from extreme anxiety as I am almost late.  And my imagination works over time worrying about what will happen if I am late by even a second.

    Being on time has it's advantages.  The job centre is happy, my GP is happy.  And the stress disappears as soon as I arrive.

    In my last job I was always on time.  And this enabled me to see colleagues arriving ten and twenty minutes late.

    I derive a lot of satisfaction from being perfectly on time. I used to arrive exactly on time for the rare social events I attended but the hosts often weren't ready. It was explained to me that in such ciircumstances you should be 'politely late'. A strange concept - if you don't want people to arrive at 7pm why put that time on the invitation?

    I was even early for my first wedding arriving well before the bridegroom and having to be driven round and round the block by my Dad!
