hurry up and wait

The concept of making every effort to arrive at a location ahead of the appointed time, with the expectation of having to wait upon arrival. The purpose behind the concept is that it builds a large amount of time into one's schedule, therefore accounting for unexpected occurrences.

When we went to the airport for our vacation, we followed the "hurry up and wait" philosophy, arriving several hours prior to our flight.

Man, did you hear that bar's happy hour is over at 6:30 now? We were totally caught off guard when we got there at 6. We had to go into the hurry-up offense to get it all in.
