I fully agree with this sentiment. I set a high standard for my punctuality but I don't care if you're late. I just silently judge you.

"I don't care if you're late" versus "I just silently judge you". Which one is it?

I don't show you that I care would probably be more accurate.

The test doesn't follow the correct procedures for diagnosing autism and after a thorough reading of the DSM-5-TR I could find no mention of German a mental illness being and I challenge anyone to me wrong prove.

Having lived in Germany and experienced the wonderful Deutche Bahn, I wouldn't really associate punctuality with being German.

This is relative. In Germany, people complain when the train is late. Everywhere else, the train is just late.

The Deutsche Bahn rather cancel trains completely instead of them being late - which also says something.

IIRC DB currently has a worse punctuality record than the UK rail network. That takes some doing.

To me it lacks the option “moral obligation but only hold accountable people who live alone”

Why? Bathroom queues or things like that? I live alone but am almost always late. A few weeks ago I was late to the airport for a flight by a couple of hours. Yesterday I was late to work, I was commuting by car when an officer thought of stopping me and do some checks for around 10-15 minutes. It does feel like I'm cursed or something. It happens way too often, but almost always feels as if it's completely outside m…

Hence the whole "If you're on time, you're late". Everywhere I go, has a 10-15 minute buffer, just in case of stuff like that. I end up early to 90% of the things I go to, on time to 5% (really "slightly late") and maybe late once every three years. Can't remember the last time I was ever late really, and it does bother me a lot if I am.
