Ugh waking up just before the alarm goes off is the worst kind of hell there is. I kind of just lay there still trying to relax but in reality I'm experiencing complete terror because I know it's going to go off any second.
Always. I am always early with the microwave, my alarm, being somewhere at a specific time. Lateness is a peeve of mine, so I suppose I compensate for being too early to everything.
I possess the same trait....I've known people and have been friends with people that are the opposite. The chronically not on time people. Having to go anywhere with them would always eat away at the very core of my soul. They just don't even care that they are going to walk in 20 minutes after everyone else showed up.
My best friend was always 20 minutes late to everything. Always late, always by 20 minutes. I got to the point where I just would set the time to meet up 20 minutes prior to the actually preferred time. You said it though - it too eats away at my soul's core. I have no tolerance for the chronically late. People have blamed traffic, their kids, the alarm.... it's all just BS to me. I have had to deal with traffic, my daughter, my alarm, and I have never been late. Never.
Microwaves die down quicker than in the blink of an eye and the second a microwave door opens all power is cut. Those beeps are there to do nothing more than make our ears bleed.
