I am something of a time-nut myself. There is nothing that irritates me as much as people who are late, slow, or procrastinators. I like to be at least 10 to 15 minutes early for any sort of appointment or meeting. As far as doctors and such go, I have no idea. I have been in a doctor's office completely void of patients other than myself. I knew that no one was already back with the doctor because I was the first name on the sign-in sheet. It was the early afternoon, so it wasn't like she (the doctor) needed time to set up or anything. She'd been there since morning. Despite all this, I was still taken ten minutes after my appointment. By the way, I like your avatar.
