Catching Worms

early bird
noun
colloq:
1. A person who gets out of bed early.
2. A person who arrives early.

There are always people who are more organised than you that end up ruining your badly laid plans. The kind of people who get to airports 3 hours before the flight leaves "just in case" (the ones that are in the departure lounge sipping a Starbucks while you are waiting in a 3 mile queue 30 minutes before take-off waiting for a good frisking).
The ones who get to the sales as the doors are opening and snap up the only bargains, leaving everyone else fighting over a pile of last year's leopard print leggings, or will camp outside a department store to buy overpriced tickets for a U2 or similarly rubbish stadium concert.
The same kind of people who are smugly munching popcorn and watching trailers while you get turned away from the cinema because you didn't think it was necessary to book seats on-line the day before.
People who plan everything, calculate the exact level of slackness of everyone else and get in before them. Don't let these people turn you - Resist planning your cinema trips in advance and getting up early at weekends! Viva spontaneity! These people will get what's coming to them when they have to sit through 3 hours of Bono and crew in a venue so big they may as well be looking at the moon.
