Correlation between punctuality and time of birth?

    Inspired by this thread, I would like to test my hypothesis with you good AH users! It's my experience that there's a direct correlation between someone's punctuality and whether or not they were born on time.

    For example, I was born bang on time, and am always on time to meet people. My brother was late, and is always late to meet people. So, do you fit in with this idea, or are you different?

    1 month early, always early to meet people, always late for work.

    Sorry Faith. According to my mum, I was a day early yet punctuality isn't my thing. I refuse to be ruled by the clock.

    Sorry you lost Pighead when you said you were inspired by a coolsmileygirl thread. After Hours is getting stranger and stranger by the day.

    Today coolsmileygirl is an inspiration, tomorrow Ruu gets banned for calling Beruthial a dirty stinking old slapper.

    I was born 4 1/2 hours late and now I'm exactly 4 1/2 hours late for every thing in my life. Is that the sort of thing you were looking for?

    I was born two weeks late, generally I'm either quite early for an appointment or very late.
    I am quite a punctual person though, if its a date, or work, or an interview etc. anything that I'd put value on, or feel I have to be there on time, then I'll always be there on time, but when it comes to heading out with friends, or dropping up to them or whatever, I'm usually later than I say I'll be.

    Born late, always very, very early.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    Born on time (AFAIK) and always on time, mostly.
    Interesting idea...just a wee bit twilight zone to have much to it, buy you never know...

    I was 4 days late and am generally on time ie would rather be early than late

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I have no idea whether I was born early or late. I'm usually quite punctual though.
    8.20PM isn't that late, is it?

    I don't have a clue, expected time (date) of birth wasn't an exact science in 1985, nor is it today :)

    Why would anyone know? The last thing any family needs is the mother forcing images of a tiny you being squeezed out of her head first covered in slime and placenta into your mind. If my mother ever gave any indication of starting a conversation about me being "early" or "late", I'd stick my fingers in my ears, yell nonsensically, and run from the house.
    Sorry to be of so little help. Good luck with your research though:)

    Yeah, I have no idea if I was born early or not,
    I'm surprised everyone else seems to

    I was born by cesarean section so anytime I want to leave the house I have to go out the window.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    I was unsuccesfully aborted so I try to get out of showing up for anything.

    was born late and am always late so much so that friends usually tell me the wrong time to meet up just so i'm actually on time :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 950 ✭✭✭Feral Mutant


    I was neither late nor early. I was born exactly when I intented to be.
