Sperbs tend to be obsessive about being on time - it isn't good enough to be on time, we have to be early. If we show up at 8:01 to an 8:00 event, we consider the evening wrecked.
Granted, at school and in many workplaces, being on time is rather imperative. Out in the social world, punctuality impresses some people some of the time, so it still matters. What is more important, however, is that you contribute positively and enjoy the event you attend, regardless on which side of the stated start time you arrive. If you show up five minutes late and leave everybody happy by the end of the night, nobody will kick you off their next guest list for tardiness.
