5 minute rule

If you are 5 minutes late or 5 minutes early. it does NOT count as late/early because everyones clock or watch runs a few minutes different from another person.

I was 4 minutes late to the dentist but considered "on time" when the receptionist said "it's okay 5 minute rule" and then I waited in the waiting room for 5 minutes but the doctor was not considered late.
