Today, I got written up at work for clocking back in from lunch early. Yesterday I got a verbal warning for coming back late. I'm scared to go to lunch at all now. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I arrived at work and was immediately given a disciplinary write-up for being two hours late for my shift. Apparently the manager had changed my schedule that morning and failed to tell me. FML
Today, I got written up at work over false accusations that I didn't do some safety tasks. The same tasks that were done before I had even arrived. FML
Today, I got called into work on my day off. I ended up being written up for being 15 minutes late to a shift I didn't even have. FML
Today, I got into trouble for sleeping at work. FML
Today, my boss yelled at me for leaving on time. After months of management hounding us about our overtime, I get in trouble for doing what I was supposed to do. FML
Today, I got a warning for not covering a shift, on my day off, for someone who didn't want to go to work. Apparently the next time I “do something wrong", I'll either get warned again or fired, whichever they feel like doing. FML
Today, I worked security by myself in an office, which meant I had to eat at the desk and wasn't allowed to leave. I got written up for my husband dropping off my lunch. FML
Today, I got yelled at for calling out for mandated overtime at work. They told me if I don't switch to another day I will get suspended. FML
Today, I went to my retail job to buy some clothing. As soon as I walked through the doors, my manager yelled at me for not being in appropriate work clothes. I tried to explain that I was off the clock but he was having none of it. I got written up. FML
Today, I was yelled at and almost fired for showing up "late" to work. I was the first one here. FML

Try and be right on time is the only advice I can offer.

Honestly, it is your responsibility as an adult to make sure you clock in and out on time.

Getting in trouble for being early and then for being late? Oh no! Whatever shall you do? I guess there's only one thing left to try... But... No, no.. You couldn't possibly... Too risky... But maybe.... Well... Maybe you could try... Being ON TIME? :P

This actually depends on the time-frame. Without a little bit more specific info on whether "late" and "early" means 5 minutes or 20 minutes...

You're screwed no matter what if you're in the two minute window and they're still mad. IF they're pissy about that then **** em! I don't respect that type of BS and neither should you. Just start looking for a new gig because if you're the only one getting yelled at then they're gearing up to fire you anyway. If they ask you to sign that little form that says you agree that you made a mistake don't sign it. Bottomline find a new job and just stop showing up and see if they notice in two weeks.

Coming from comments about getting in trouble for a minute or two here or there, it seems the U.S have very strict employment conditions.

you could always come back from lunch five minutes early but don't clock in until those five minutes are up so technically, you'd be on time.

Come back on time. Problem solved.

I would go to human resources and tell them what's going on. If not them then your managing and ask them directly what is going on.
