I've noticed that there are designated times for a lot of things, but not everything. And not everyone has the same rights to the same "times" as some other people.
For most people there's "Breakfast time", "Lunchtime", "daytime", "dinnertime", "nighttime", "bath time, and "bedtime". But here are some others that not everyone usually gets to enjoy...
The English have "tea time", but I can't have scheduled "chocolate milk time".
Actors have "show time", but if I go to the theatre am I allowed to say that without sounding like a jerk who's telling everyone to shut up and turn off their phones?
Competitive people have "go time", but if I want to leave an engagement with people I don't want to talk to and tell my wife, "it's 'go time', let's get going" I'm being rude.
Athletes, lesbian's, and perverts each have "shower time" (though each group utilizes it differently), but if you tell someone it's their "shower time" they take offense.
Kids have "quiet time" and "bath time". But if they take it together then you are paranoid that they are drowning and have to keep checking on them.
Women have "alone time" and men come off as being selfish if they don't support it. On the other hand, men have "me time" and are accused of being selfish if they take it.
Borat has "sexy time", but not usually with anyone worth it.
TV shows have "air times". Thankfully I don't have to schedule times to breathe.
Employees have "down times" and are always in trouble for it.
Sports have "halftimes", but in real life it doesn't work.
Cat's have "lifetimes" and they seem to never run out.
Farmers have "harvest times", when do I get scheduled occasion to reap what I sow?
Inmates have "outdoors times". When I'm obligated to go camping, I feel like an Inmate.
Kindergartners have "play time" and more people should.
Oh and while we're on the subject...
Seasonally we have "wintertime", "springtime" and "summertime", but no "fall time". Why? because things are dying? In the Winter everything is dead? What's wrong with the Fall season?
