My sister in law is chronically late. She uses this strategy and always tells herself a time 30 mins early, so she can get places on time.

On one occasion my brother asked her what time dance class for the kids was. She tells him 12:00, so my brother - being an "always on time" person - gets there for 11:45 so he's a little early.

Turns out the time my SIL told him was her personal fake start time, not the actual start time, so he's 45 mins early lol.

    Rofl almost this exact scenario happened to me for first day on a job. I asked my partner what time I had written on the calendar then padded it again.

    Plus side, it was a gallery job so I got to walk around and check out all the exhibits on my own, so when people asked me about them I actually had some deep reads.
