We leave early for everything (just in case) and get there only to have to wait. We are the first ones at movies, the first at a restaurant to meet friends (who are always late), and sit in waiting rooms at least 1/2 hours before appointments. I told him that when he dies I will make sure that his funeral starts 10 minutes before the appointed time.

I am amused on tram to hear people tell their friends on their phones, I will be there in five minutes, when I know the journey will take ten minutes, plus walking time, so say 15 minutes. I have heard similar so many times. For me, plenty of time equals no stress, no sweating, no hand shaking tremors.
