When do you arrive at a party? (self.AskUSA)

I arrive on time, as that's just the polite thing to do and I'm not fashionable enough for fashionably late. I also like hanging out with people before things get crowded and/or loud, though I enjoy that too.

I arrive slightly early (5 mins early) because I always make up an excuse to leave early.

My pet peeve is when there's a party agenda (6pm arrival, 7pm food) and if it's 730pm and food still hasnt been served, I can kindly remind the host that I have to leave by 8pm.

When I attended parties in my 20s, this was a extremely common issue. But as I get older and have a significantly more mature group of friends, Im starting to not have to use my "leave early" excuse as frequently.
