Do you wait for somebody offen?Yesterday I wanted to go shopping with my best friend.He hadn't prepared,so I waited for him about 300 meters away.After 20 minutes,he called me "it is canceled" He didn't want to go any more! What do you do when you are waiting for someone?How many time it is before you lost your patience when you are waiting someone?

One time, I was able to wait for more than five hours at the mall until my father showed up. I just sat my time, strolled for a while, looked at things that interested me and checked if I could afford them by any chance ^_^; then all over again for more than five hours. Then there was this thing I had to do, I was to collect a respondent's reply to a survey question that we were distributing. In this case, I have to give it to her myself and retrieve her answers immediately on the spot. I waited for over than six hours, I waited at a room at school which was designated as the room where the school folio would come up from. I even lost hope and went home but, I was informed that she came which made me hop off the bus that I was currently riding and go back just to meet up with her. Its funny that I could have the patience to wait for other people but, have no patience at all when relatives make me wait. ^_^;

No, I hate waiting for anyone! If my friend often was late for a long time, I will be not happy, even crazy...of course, I also don't like someone to wait for me, so I always arrive ahead of schedule.

You are right.I think everyone should turn up on time. If I can't,usually I will say : you go, I can follow you.

I don't like waiting others. When they are late, I will be very impatient. If it's serious, sometimes I may lose a temper. As I don't want to waste my time by waiting in vain. It is a very bad habit to waste others' time.

it depends who i am waiting,many of my friends always lost their time conciousness and they take 10 minutes instead of 3 minutes ,1 hour instead of 20 minutes. so to me, i just told them sth advancely so that they can prepare for it in time.i will not make friends with some people who always late for doing sth!!

I don't like waiting either. I have this friend who has to look "perfect" before she leaves the house so many times when we invite her and her husband over, supper is cold! Because I've gotten to the point I no longer wait on them to eat. We eat when its ready, they can warm it up in the microwave. And they know it! Unless they were to call at least half an hour ahead of time. We've gotten to the point when we're suppose to meet up some place we tell them to call us when they're ready!

nobody likes to wait.think that you will meet your girlfrnd at 6 o'clock.when you reached there u didnt find her....u called her up and she said that she is coming....and she came say 1 hr late.wont it make u angry?waiting is a n awful thing unless u have sumthing 2 do in the time when u wait....but sometimes we have 2 wait 4 the sake of relationships even if we get bored and irritated.

it's my friend who has that kind of experience..she always wait for my other friend who is also our friend since high school..that time they been talking that they have to go to downtown to find a job, and this friend of mine had been waiting for almost 2hrs and she's really angry with my other friend, when the both of them meet, my friend was so hesterical, that she really scolding my other friend, she has not controlled her temper and they ended into breaking each other's friendship and until now, they still not talking nor texting each other..i'm between them because i dont want that our friendship will break because of that incident..i'm so so sad, but i know one of this days they will talk and find peace between them..hope so..

I am waiting  - How long should I wait
Hi,I do if there is a justifiable reason for being late. Also sometimes I do like to wait according the surrounding and environment at the waiting place. May be if it is too hot under a place were there is no shade, that would be mess. Still it also depends upon the patience one posses at that time. The level of patience one has.

I can tolerante waiting, if im earlier than someone im going to meet. But otherwise i hate waiting since i am very strikt about agreed meeting time's, and if i have to wait i often need to know why because its easier not to get angry on them being late.

Frankly i don't like to wait for somebody, and in the same way i don't like somebody await me,i think it's waste too much time of the two parts, that's not rewarding. But in real life, i sometimes wait for others,at this time, i am a little anger with her/his if there is no inevitable reasons, and next time i try the best to avoid dating with them.
