How early do you get to work before your shift starts?
A recent TikTok video asked this question when a man filmed his co-worker pulling into the parking lot over an hour before her shift started.
According to @beardenjosh, Melody shows up every day for her 10 am shift around 8:45 am.
His video received over 30 thousand comments, with people understanding why Melody does it.
The woman needs peace to prepare for the day ahead.
"She's mentally preparing she's so me" said one viewer.
Other comments included
"That's so me. Shift starts at 10:30, and I'm in the parking lot watching tik tok by 9:50… gen x mentality"
"I did this during college to get some peace and quiet away from my roommates."
"I do this every day, and I love it; maybe not that early, but at least 30 min early. My only peace of the day it feels."
"Me and Melody are kindred spirits! I do the same! At least an hour or more early and sit in the car till I'm almost late."
A few people thought she was mentally prepping by having a relaxing smoke, while several others joked they were always late.
"I get to work at 4:59 and I start at 5."
"Start of shift: 10am my arrival time: 10:00:59, on time!"
