Funny little vid from two adorable girls:

Just one thing to say, about arriving late: it has a rational reason. In France, arriving early for a meetup, a date or (God forbid!!!) a dinner at a friend's place is considered extremely rude, because it doesn't leave the other person(s) enough time to prepare. It will be perceived by the inviting party as a way to deliberately embarrass them. So you're expected to show up about 15 minutes after the agreed-upon time (call if you're gonna arrive later) but not on time and NEVER early.
This naturally does NOT apply to jobs interviews, for which you're expected to show up early. I believe this is universal
EDIT: A big THANK YOU to the TMF moderator(s) who have so promptly fixed the horrid typo I had made in the thread's title! You guys rule!
