You are feeling extremely hungry and quite ready to eat meal, when it is found to your surprise that the meal is not at all ready for eating and it will take another 30 to 35 minutes before the meal is ready for eating! In such a situation, whether it is at home or in a hotel, what will be your tolerance level? I mean, how long can you wait patiently without taking anything till the meal is ready? Ten minutes, fifteen minutes or....remember you are extremely hungry!

Generally I get annoyed by it, but never really to the point where I'm lashing at out someone for not being able to eat. I'm pretty tolerant when it comes to that sort of stuff. If it's in a hotel I'm usually more irritated because I'm also expecting the service as well as the food. If I'm at home I'll usually find something small to graze on until it is ready, or try to occupy myself to take my mind off of being very hungry. Sometimes I'll drink a glass of water to try to get a "being full" feel too.

I frequently get a headache if I'm extremely hungry and can't get to eat right away. If I'm at home, I'm going to be snacking. If I'm at a restaurant, I'll ask for a cup of coffee with 2 creams to be served immediately. If they can't do that, I'd go elsewhere.

If I am that hungry than I would find a light snack that is not filling and eat a small amount of it to hold me over. Something like popcorn which is not filling. If I didn't do that than it would be hard for me to wait for the meal to be done.

If I was at my own house or a friend's house, I would just have something small to eat and then wait for the main meal to come after that. I would also find something else to do to make time pass more quickly and keep my mind off the food. [Reading books or going on the internet are really quite good for this type of thing. ^.^] If, however, I was in a restaurant, I would ask for an appetizer order if there were no rolls or bread slices of any sort. I would eat that and then finish the wait for my main course.

good day..I guess if I'm that hungry I would eat biscuits or anything to ease the hunger a little.
