This post pisses me off. Literally no matter how much I try, plan, give triple double extra time to be ready, and attempt to be early.
With any or all of that there is no guarantee that I won't be late.
This is not a choice for me.
Fuck this post, and fuck all you people who think it's that simple. YOU are the problem.

All down votes on my comments and upvotes on the sheep diarrhea responses here are from ableist anus wrinkles of people.
Why are you late? Do you leave your house too late? Is the traffic bad? What's the reason.
I'm never late, I always plan for things to go wrong and usually I'm too early and have some time to chill before something starts.
It's sometimes called "time blindness" and it's not something I can control.
No, I'm places on time. While waiting on your tardy ass isn't the problem, it's still problematic. Get your shit in a pile. Our time is finite and valuable, not a soul wants to spend it waiting on someone who basically lied about when and where they'll be.
People have brains that work differently and they should not be shamed by people who refuse to grasp the idea that not everyone works like you do.

Did you not get the part that it's not a choice for me?
The poster is being sarcastic. She's got ADHD herself and is a very avid poster in the ADHD meme sub. The point of this post is that the guy in the screenshot is ignorant.
I don't see how time blindness prevents you from setting an alarm.
That's part of the problem. People assume an alarm—or some other '""simple"" solution—would solve everything. There's a fundamental lack of understanding, then, worsening the issue, people are judged based on that non-existent foundational comprehension that people don't always work the way you do.
It's simply not up to us. We can try, and sometimes succeed, but it's simply not within our control.
Why does an alarm not work?
