Short in the money puts often are exercised early, sometimes a week or two but often 2 or 3 days before expiration, while calls almost always go to expiration day

I've noticed that in my own trading -- most recently with TYC where 40% of my short put position was put to me almost 1 month before expiration. What confused me is that the put still had some time value in it (around $1.50 as I recall). Can you tell me why this happens?
