Ruth Cameron notes the paradox of punctuality in social life. The piece jokes about people who are often late and others who arrive far too early, sharing a friend who overplans arrivals to ensure ample travel time but then still shifts the schedule.

Ruth Cameron argues that strict early arrivals and habitual lateness both edge away from true punctuality. She notes a friend who arrives far ahead and another who snaps for being late, and cites Webster to define punctuality as adherence to a set time rather than being early or late.
