I am the kind of guy who pulls on a door when the sign says “push” and vice versa. I’m not sure why I’m doing this. Don’t I trust the person that placed the sign on the door? I don’t think so but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who does this.
Another thing is my urge to be on time when I have an appointment. This leads to another contradiction. When I have to be at a place and it’s the first time I’m going there I will be far too early. One of the main reasons is that you can make your first impression just once. Being late will never make a good impression.
Although this urge for being on time I develop a certain nonchalance once I’m used to go to the same place over and over again. I still stand up early enough to have a huge amount of time to make me on my way. But in some weird way I then manage to surf the Internet and enjoy all other kind of distractions. The result is regularly that I lose my time buffer and I have to hurry in order to be on time. It’s always then that the car in front of me is driving much too slow a.s.o.
Sounds familiar?
