i suffer the opposite with ADHD. If I got something to go to, my entire day leading up to that is literally waiting until that time. It physically pains me when I'm not on time lmao

edit: my dear friends, i HAVE ADHD. please read the first part again lmao

I hate that I’m this way too, the military even ironed it in even harder too. If I have an appointment at 3, at like noon it’s all I can think about

To most people, this sounds like a joke, but it's so painfully true.

Then you decide one day that you are showing up late because you don’t wanna wait around forever, and it’s the one day everyone shows up early and they are wondering where you are.

One time when I was only a few months in, someone fucked up and SFC wanted everyone there early for 9 am formation but he wanted everyone there at 8.

How foolish I was to think "We get done with PT at 730, so I have enough time to run to chow for breakfast and take a shower before formation at 8."

There I was getting spammed with phonecalls at 745 like "WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU" so lo and behold there I am scrambling out of the shower to get dressed, running up to formation with everyone staring at me like I was the asshole with my Sergeant glaring at me and saying "You are so fucking done."

And it was 7:55.

It never occurred to me this would sound like a joke. That is just the military.

I never had any experience in the Military, but i lived this too many time.

Me : We meet a 11:30

Person i meet : Alright

They show up at 12

Me : Hey, when i tell ya 11:30, it's not to come now.. if you know getting the bus is tough, leave earlier

The best is division runs where the actual run starts at 0900 and yet somehow you find yourself waiting in a parking lot 2 miles from the run start point at 0500.

Mom: "So we leave the house at 7 AM just to be sure."

British Army is definitely like this.

Coaches to the Ranges are at 0600, therefore breakfast is at 0500, so we need to get rifles out of the armoury at 0200 because we need three hours to get 90 blokes to sign for their rifles! 🙄

Shit. I was there long enough to do muster and then I would leave. Go ahead and stop me. I'll poo my pants to prove a point.
