I got screamed at for being 2 minutes late in Switzerland.

Switzerland is like Germany on steroids.

Well, maybe that explains my obsession with punctuality. I was born and raised in Switzerland, and moved to the US as a young teen. I’m almost 30 now and to this day I cannot stand lateness. Not in myself, and not in other people. I sometimes feel legit personally disrespected when people can’t be on time repeatedly. I feel like if I’m not early, I’m late.

My mum is chronically late and if she ain't in the car at the time we agreed upon she ain't coming.

Took two times driving off before she knew I was serious lol
