What do you do in waiting rooms?

Hi dear i do the same, i mean combination of both, but i prefer reading magazine or news paper.And if have to wait more, just walk to nearest shop, buy some chewing come , and Chew them Take care

I usually find someone to talk to. I break ice pretty well, and before you know it I will be in conversation with the person sitting next to me. Or if it does seem to be a quiet solemn atmosphere I will read what you call the tatty magazines, and if I catch someone watching me wait I will smile and hope for a conversation LMAO

I would grab a magazine and flip through the pages. Otherwise, I would reach out for my mobile phone and play a couple of games to pass time. Sometimes I would even grab those magazines that I've just read and flip through the pages again just to past time.

hello muscare, i rarely go to a hospital or any medical facility coz it makes me sad i feel it is a place where i see pain and just rare happiness. anyway, to answer your question, i will either read the magazine if i have my ipod with me i will just listen to it while looking around and see how other's are. i will roam around the area just to lessen the boredom and the feeling of worry inside me - im a worrier so it is not easy for me to be there or i will be in the ICU in an instant LOL if i have someone with me, i will just talk to him or i will just hush and hope that all is well inside that close room. btw, my husband will tear up all his finger nails coz of the boredom and stress combine, i hate it but that's how he handles it so be it grrrrrr.... takecare!

Hi muscare, I usually sit there, look at the television set for a couple of minutes to see if there is anything of interest showing. If not I then reach into my pocket...and pill out my cell phone! I usually start playing games on it, looking up occasionally to actually see other people looking at me but yet pretending not to watch. But, sometimes I get bored playing the games on my phone. I have no choice though cause there is nothing better to do while waiting...

I usually read a magazine if I can find one that is somewhat interesting. Or in most cases I will watch TV if they have one. Sometimes they have stuff I'm not interested in on, so I will go back to the magazine or paper if available.

usually if my mom has to go for any reason,i end up being there at least 4 hours minimum..i pretty much end up reading every single magazine in that room. if it goes over 4 hours,i just tell them to call me when she's ready-i'm not too far from there.

I will read magazines, a book because I like to have a book in my bag. Or look at people around me, I actually enjoy doing that. Like to see different expression on their face.

I usually read the magazines. Doctor's offices usually have pretty good ones. The exception is the car dealer; they usually have some kind of auto mag stuff around that I am not interested in.

Generally either read a book/magazine, or walk around.

well actually i like observing people around me waiting wat they do behave like it helps alot understanding nature of a person....

in the waiting room my best companion is my cell phone.i m a game freak so it usually aint boring as long as the seats are good and comfortable coz i m engrossed in my games.also i got gprs activated in my cell so i get the recent news and i can check my mails and stuff .its really cool.its fun at times looking at people and observe them what they do wen gettting bored.the best part is when some beautiful girl is sitting right in front....the time just flies reminding of einstein's theory of relativity..

I am a quiet person when I don't know anybody so I usually read. I always have a book with me. If I forgot my book, I write. If both are none, I read anything on the table but I seldom start a conversation with fellows in the waiting room. They talk to me and I will entertain them but I am more on just a listener than a chatter. If in a bus station which there is no magazines or any place I could have the chance to read or write, I play with my cellphone or I walk around. Anything I would do just to make the time pass, but not sleep. It's a no-no to me in public places. Have a great day! Take care =)

I usually read magazines or books. I usually have a book of sudoku with me and I answer it while waiting. Or sometimes, I just text my friends or play with my psp.

i kinda always find someone to talk to otherwise i think its excellent time to text those of your friends that themselves text u in million years and always keep chanting how u never text them

It depends on the waiting room I'm waiting in. When my dad was in the hospital ( just a few days ago ) I was stuck in the waiting room for an hour waiting for him to be set up in a different bedroom. My sister was with me but even though I had her to converse with, we both just sat there. I played with my phone while she read magazines. Fortunately they don't just have those health or house/home ones, they have cosmo and people, so it's not TOO boring 'cause atleast those magazines are interesting.

Sometimes I read the magazines...look for any interesting free information that I can take home...I listen to the television if there is anything good on...I people watch also...sometimes I just close my eyes and relax...

Sometimes for a giggle try starting to Yawn. It's amazing how quickly it spreads around the room. Pretty soon everyone will be doing it and as new people enter and others leave it can continue all day.

I really hate being in the waiting rooms. I try to occupy myself but it's hard. I will read the magazines, watch the tv and twiddle my thumbs. I always have to be busy or at least doing something with my hands. I don't watch other people wait because that would make me more bored.

the only time i see a doctor is when i am dying and 9 times out of 10 i get taken right in. the times when i dont, i lay on the floor and moan until somebody helps me. i have seizures and a heart condition so i know when i need immediate help and how to get it.
