Do you get ready quick?

Post Reply New Topic

I tend to be ready before anyone else or my ride even gets here! It's 5 yet my friend will not be here until 6:00-630 yet I'm ready purse in hand. When I'm ready I'm READY! (this holds true for me/family and sometimes it's annoying waiting for them to get ready/waiting on a family member to show up) before we are ready to leave. Is anyone else like this? (From are chats I think Leauge Girl might be if I'm not mistaken sorry if I am BTW)

I like to take my time.

Depends on how much I am looking forward to something.

First dates topping THAT list:P

I'm totaly like that.

How about you when they just pop in and say let's go?

I tend to get ready quickly but then when I realise I have extra time I add to the list of things I'd like to get done to consider myself "really ready". And then when the time comes to actually leave I either leave the house carrying lots more stuff than I had intended, or else I've started another project and end up forgetting something essential to the initial readiness because my mind has wandered off and I get flustered at suddenly having to be "ready" again and leaving quickly.

As a result of the above, I usually try to give myself just enough time to get ready before leaving so that I don't have time to think about anything else. But I usually underestimate the time it takes me to get ready and I then end up being late. I can't win at this game.

I hate that so much. Even if I know someone's coming over some time later, I want to know when they leave their house so I have time to make sure I'm really prepared for their arrival (physically and mentally). Show up unannounced and I will pace around saying "hang on, what am I forgetting?" for 10 minutes or so, because I get flustered.

Depends on how much enthusiasm I have for the engagement in question. I'm usually either very early or very late, rarely punctual.

It takes me forever, the getting ready part takes me almost no time, but I get distracted on the way and I always end up taking too much unnecessary things with me and forgetting the actually important things to bring.

Yep, I'm very much like that. I used to be worse to the point of being ready an hour or so before going out or arriving at the bus stop 30 minutes before it came, in which case I'd just double check everything over and see that it was ABSOLUTELY ready to the point of obsession. Can't say I'm not a little like that now to be honest, if a wee bit more relaxed .

I'm always ready for things early and then normally hang around with my jacket on all ready to go.
The worst thing for me is when someone says they will be round at 11 so I'm ready for 10:30 and then by about 11:15 they aren't there and then they send an SMS that they are gonna be there late at 12 or something. . . . really anooying for me!
I do like to take my time to get ready for important stuff (first date, business meeting etc) but this will only ever involve having a shower and then taking my time chosing a shirt

I can get ready in an instant. I hate waiting around for people who rush me to get ready(my dad )

It takes me forever to get ready, mostly because I don't go out much. I have to remember where everything is and in what order to put it on. If I don't see things in front of my face, I don't know they exist. Yes, I should prepare my clothes the night before. Oh yeah, shower - gotta take a shower - what do I put on my hair? ...

I always take less than thirty minutes.
