You're supposed to be somewhere at 1:00.  You get there at 1:05.  Is that okay?  Sure, you should have arrived at 12:55, but with Long Island traffic, how could you?

A new survey by Timex asked people how late you can be, in different situations...and still not be considered late.

WORK: As long as you're less than 4 minutes late, you can get away with it.

FIRST DATE: Anything under 4 1/2 minutes late isn't considered late.

INTERVIEW: They're really judging you, so you shouldn't be more than 2 minutes late.

FAMILY EVENT: The average person says your mother won't be upset as long as you get there with 13 1/2 minutes of the starting time.

Do you always try to show-up on-time, or are you habitually late?
