Waiting

I either read a book,magazine,go on the net or watch some tv............i try NOT 2 waste time but sometimes its inevitable

Actually I hate waiting too. It makes me mad when people make me wait While waiting i usually listen to music or play games on my mobile but yeah I hate waiting a lot. I don't know maybe my level of patience is really low.

I used to do crosswords but these days I am writing down things to look up onmy lap top and, this is so sappy, I just think about my guy. Time passes when I am thinking about him!

I always mean to bring a book if I know I'll be waiting but I usually forget it. I spend most of my waiting time talking to others who are waiting! It passes the time in an interesting way and cheers everyone up. Another favorite way of mine to pass the time is to read waiting room magazines--I'm too cheap to subscribe to any magazines but I really enjoy reading them.

I used to spend hours waiting at airports and always carried a book with me. Usually I bought it at the airport but would have decided beforehand what I would buy. I love the First Lady Detective Agency books and they are just right for a couple of hours wait. Also, sometimes in the UK airports you can buy books not yet released on the High St. They have soft rather than hard covers but there's a degree of one upmanship to be reading a book that nobody else has yet! I do have an iPod Touch, but tended not to use it for listening to music except if I can't sleep late at night. I use it for web surfing and I have Kindle books and Apple Books on there as well.

Hi GreenMoo, I guess this is never before discussed topic. There are a lot variety of waitings. Waiting for your guest to come, the bus to come, the train, guests and so and so forth. The most irritating wait is you are waiting for the person who needs you and has not reached you on time. If I am to wait for something or some body more than the limit I quit the place. And for normal waiting I usually pick up a news paper and try to fill up the cross words or if I carry a halfway through read book resume from where I last stopped.

I hate waiting too and I try to remember to take a book if I know I'm going to be waiting. It's handy to have something to read on long trips too . Also in case of breakdown. I find as well as passing the time it takes your mind off any problems and keeps the stress levels down...this in the case of a breakdown when you have to wait for the tow truck and are wondering how much the repairs are going to cost and how you will get home.

Depends on where I'm going and what I have to do when I get there. I often take some cross-stitch project along with me, sometimes a book.

I hate waiting also, but in the mean time I have a smart phone games and book. I think It pretty cool!

Everyone always feel that waiting is boring, i think this is natural.Actually waiting is one thing that train us for the patient. It's good for your health.You can filled waiting with useful activities such as reading,playing game,chatting with your new friend or looking for scene around of you.So don't let waiting to be your burden.

oh I'll mostly just look around a bit and wait...or if I have to wait for an exam I'll just sit and revise, thou I've been thinking about bringing a book already as well since the net on my mobile is paid and I'd use all my funds, either way killing is always killing me, I just hate it, specially at doctors, but who doesn't, right.

I mostly hate when I have to wait at home for a phone call or a delivery driver. I used to catch my self pacing back and forth. Then I moved to browsing the web or rearranging something in my house. What I found that helps pass the time for me now is not really anything constructive but I buy those crossword puzzle books the ones that have easy, medium or hard puzzles in them. I feel less exhausted after the wait ha ha. For some reason it passes the time effortlessly for me.

It depends upon the place where I am waiting. If I am at school, I go to the library and enjoy myself reading. :) If I am at the mall, I do window shopping or if ever I get tired walkin', I sit in a bench or take some shots using my digital camera. If I am at home, I instantly open my laptop and begin surfing anything to amuse me, well, most of the times, I chat with my friends. ;) And know what, waiting--- the ability of people to wait for things without ending up totally messed up is what I have practiced well. And I can say that if you are still waiting for what you are waiting for, it's better if you find yourself be amused and not bored, maybe eat something, or just sleep. :P

If I have to wait around and there are a lot of people nearby, I people-watch! I find the human race totally fascinating and not just because I am an artist. I try to tune into them if I can to improve my psychic skills, if I have time. Of course I don't make it obvious, and no-one would ever know that the ageing, grey-haired lady in the corner is a Medium! ;)

Sometimes I do...if I am waiting or on a flight I read or crochet...if I am home and waiting I do have a tendency to be on the internet....not just mylot but other places too.

Hi GreenMoo, Hope all is well with you as I haven't logged in for a while. For me it depends on what I am waiting for, if in a doctors surgery I will chat to others or flick through the trashy mags they have not really reading as most are adverts, if however it is for someone to arrive at my home I will tend to be online playing a game on facebook before they get there. In a queue I am fairly patient and people watch. Huggles. Ellie :D

hi greenmoo I also potter around on the net and mylot a lot while I wait. in a doctor's office I will read a magazine as I always forget 'to bring a paper back with me. here in my room I get on the computer' and just enjoy myself so much.

Lately when I've had to wait for something I've been playing with my cell phone. I try to bring my text books with me to read while I wait, but I often forget them!

Waiting is not one of my strong points, I always get real jittery when I have to wait. It's nerve racking. I always have my iPhone with me so I go on there and surf the internet, read my email or play a game. I feel that being pre-occupied makes the wait seem shorter.

I am one of those who does not like waiting, time to me is consuming, but people who believes in horoscopes said is because I am VIRGO. Waiting is killing me, I do not want any one who says to me at such such time will meet and she/he is not there I just give the 5 minutes more after that I just leaving the place go back to my place. Waiting realy is not ok as I am always thinking of something I should be doing instead of waiting, guys its not me thank you
