If it's your best friend? I don't go

The start time needs to be when food is planned on being served. Unless I'm helping cook or just hanging out drinking while someone else cooks, I'm probably just showing up on time.

2:00 unless in the case of a friend they tell me to come early. People I work with are all good friends so I don't really have to make a distinction there

If it's your best friend? I offer to help prep in advance, so I would have previously coordinated a time.

If it's a regular friend? 2:00

If it's a work colleague? 2:00, if it's someone I like. If it's just someone I'm acquainted with, 2:00 if I have no other obligations, but in this case I would have plans for a potential early exit if needed.

If it's your best friend?
-probably helping cook, so whenever that starts
If it's a regular friend?
-15-30 min early to help out with set up etc if needed
If it's a work colleague?
-On time or a few minutes late

What's the expected talent level look like?

It doesn't matter when you get there, as long as you're sitting with your friends cause ya'll reminisce about the days growing up and the first person you kissed.

When you've been there awhile, you should wonder how the smell from a grill could spark up nostalgia.

Great minds run in similar circles.

I'll get there when I get there. Anyone that really knows me would know if they want me there at 2pm, tell me to be there at noon.

Get there right when the food is served. Eat then leave!

You have us, whether you like it or not.

And your puppy.

Actually, it's polite to arrive early. And smart. Only really good friends show up early. Ergo de facto. Go to a party really early. Become a really good friend. Going to want to get that potato salad out there early anyway. That potato salad has been sitting in the car all day, the sun beating down on the mayonnaise. I think something is wrong with Jan.

Whatever time, add 1:30 to it if my wife is also going

1. I've probably been there since the night before bc they live out of town
2. Early because we probably have kids that are friends
3. In town coworkers on time. Out of town I might not go at all. The in town coworkers all consider ourselves friends somewhat

So... wife and I go to her parents house for dinner a few weeks back. Her family is notorious for "Lunch at 2"... then turns out to be around 330... waiting for other guests to arrive. I have been known to get a little hangry when waiting for the latecomers..

We're walking up to the front door. Before I knock I say to my wife "If lunch isn't served by 230 I'm *&$%*#$ going to go feed myself somewhere else. Did you know when we went to your brother's house a few weeks back I left and fed myself?"

She didn't know.

"So I'm saying right now, if that ^&%$(*% food isn't on the table by 230, I'm *&$%^&@ gone." Yes, I was a little hangry.

Dad opens the door, and I mention that I noticed their new Ring-whatever camera. OK. Good.

We eat. During conversation I mention to Dad, "So, when did you guys get the new camera? Does it alert your phone when people are walking up?" He shares his story and then pulls out his phone to play me the footage... AND low volume SOUND... of my comments. He seemed a little amused. Fortunately, the sound was very low, so you couldn't make out what I was saying (when I was standing at the door uttering profanities).

Her Mom and Dad are ministers.

Or gummies

How many people am I going to know at this giddy up? That influences my answer big time, but I'm normally late so count for that. Unless it's my best friend, as others have said, then I've been there.

You're late because you can't get your stuff together and have the courtesy to arrive on time?

You're late because you plan to be late so you can get attention for being "fashionably" late?

You're late on purpose because you want to assert your dominance in some way?

Why should people plan for a functioning adult to be late?

Now you know why they didn't feed you until 3:30.

Let me introduce you to this new hip hop song from 1991.

Because I don't want to go in the first place. I'm not asking anyone to wait for me or plan around me.
