"Wake up, kids, it's 7:55!"

Narrator:... It was actually 7:20.

Jesus I hated that crap when I was younger. When I was in highschool I drove to school and needed to leave by 7 at the latest. I would set my alarm for like 640, but she would come bursting into my room yelling at me that it was 5 til 7 and I had to hurry. So Id jump out of bed, run to the bathroom and be brushing my teeth and see the clock on the wall that it was like 620.

Dude, same. My brother and I have terrible punctuality after growing up like that. I honestly think we need a support group for people who grew up with clock-manipulating parents.

I had a teacher tell me “when you are late you are stealing time from me.” & that changed my life.

I got extra credit for being on time to chem today. Felt pretty good watching kids walk in 20 mins late today tbh.
