My H invited Z to cuddle with him while he's trying to nap. Adorable, but not a great idea if he actually wants to nap. He has a pillow over his head and she's talking incessantly.

I love the 4 hour windows. Yes, Comcast, I really have nothing better to do than sit around waiting for you.

So I think I fucked up.

Our neighbors are Puerto Rican.

The invite said 2:30. I showed up at quarter to three.

According to another neighbor, crowds started rolling in around 5:30-6pm.

Aren't there some cultures where you show up hours after the time it says on the invite?

It makes earlier even more awkward.

Jamaica was pretty much like this when we went. But here in Murica that shit don't fly, IMO. Except maybe in Hawaii.



I fúcking lived in the Caribbean. I should know this shit.

Island time can be both amazing and frustrating.

It's pretty standard to go 2-3 hours later than invited in Latin America.  In some places it's even rude to go on time.

Now, if your hosts are German and the invitation says 2:00 you show up at 2:00.  Not 1:59.  Not 2:01.  2:00.  Period.

I want to crawl in a hole.

Basically you need to move @rondackhiker.

To another time zone.
At least.

That's what I told dh.

He laughed.

THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT.

So what are the origins of customarily arriving hours after the stated time? It's seems too illogical to have ever caught on.

For parties at the house I never go at the start time. I said that before on here and people attacked me. I know no one who means get there then.

At places, I am there at start time.

I was like twenty minutes late. I looked out and the kids were sitting around eating so I walked over and realized it was just the family who lived in the house.

ready-or-not

Dinners done, kitchens clean. Most of the kids are playing nicely, the 2 littlest are literally bouncing off the walls (& couch). I'm lettin it roll, nobodies fighting, everyone is content

Yeah, Puerto Ricans tend to run late for parties

That's a really cute playhouse especially with the deal you got. @mrsbutt

Price is incredible and so cute.

That looks like a bitch to put together though. We are not handy at all.

We went to an Indian wedding last year. Invitation said 8. Everyone arrived at 10!

All I've gathered from this is that @haygurhay 's AC repair man is probably Puerto Rican.
