In high school, it drove my dear friend (and comrade in arms for all things sports) John Gottshall bat shit crazy how late I was to everything. <\/p>\n
Heading to the Ale House? At least 15 minutes late. <\/p>\n
Tailgating at 2pm? Show up at John’s house at 2:15. <\/p>\n

John would have gone crazy. Luckily, I’m well adjusted \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
