    “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

    That’s perfect! I’m stealing this. I HATE, despise, loath in every respect clocks, watches, calendars and any other form of scheduling oppression. Go pound sand - I’ll show up when I show up.

      You would have a nervous breakdown in my house. Clocks in every room and 20 watches hanging in my room.

        Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?

        Time is an important safety thing.

          I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.

        Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks
