How do you spend the waiting time?

I travel everyday 25 kilometers. I commute by train. We have local trains and metro trains are not available. Travelling takes a lot of time due to traffic clearing. I play games and listen to music in my mobile.In the morning I take my newspaper with me and sometimes carry magazines with me. This is the best way to gain knowledge and spend time

One of my favorite things to do is bring either a gameboy or some sort of cellphone game, along with music and my Sketch book if i find myself in a productive mood

Hi dear.. I usually use my cell phone to pass my waiting time. Anyway, i have not that bitter experience a lot but i do call or mylot by my phone when i feel myself boring. Have a nice day.

i usually read and take down a few notes on my notebook and decide if i'll post it or not i sometimes draw cartoon characters and just keep them just in case i want to use them for odesk purposes and if there's a smoking area, i usually go out and smoke while reading, writing or drawing

I like to read so I try to always be carrying something readable with me, it's really important to me. Or...listening to music, I also don't go out without my ipod, it's really important.

I either carry a book to read or carry a bag of knitting.I always have a bag of knitting ready to go out the door with me at a moments notice.

Usually I would browse magazines and newspapers.listen to music.send emails or massages.if time is too long ,i would go shopping.

I always have a book in my bag, and array of games on my phone. I also have a lot of music on my phone. I switch between reading and playing games, all the while listening to music. Last year, I bought a cheap android tablet and I filled it with games and lots of ebooks. I always have a lot of things in my bag to keep me busy cause I'm very impatient. It really annoys me when I have to wait. So what I do to keep my annoyance in check is to do a lot of different things to keep me entertained

I like to read when i am waiting for someone or something. Usually i will bring some reading materials when i know i have to spend a long time to wait at one place. Handphone is another good device when i spend my long waiting time. I can play games and etc.

My favorite thing to do while waiting is to walk around the vicinity, or talk to my friends. If they are not there, I would usually send them messages or I would call them. Moreover, I am not the type of person who would love to wait for something or someone. So most of the times when I have to wait, I usually do these stuff. Oh, if there are magazines available, I read them. Good day!

hello, Yes, when I am waiting to someone I easily get bored and all I do is to watch tv if their is an available television or talk to someone which can be entertaining. In different ways depends on the situation or places. right?

Whenever I'm in the waiting room I usually sit in the corner by myself and read my book. I find that time moves faster when you're distracted. I just hate not bringing anything with me in the waiting room because there's the people who are constantly staring at me and then I feel uncomfortable and I'm looking down on the floor trying to daydream but I can't because the seats aren't comfy. So I tend to bring my book or my Kindle because at least that has variety of books and when I get tired of reading I can play a game.

I have a such a big fan of my Iphone. I have so many apps downloaded and i never get tired of playing games on my IPhone. I make sure i have my phone charged to full whenever i get out of the house because i am sure i am going to need all that battery before i end up using it all before i come back home.

Spending time while waiting something really makes me feel sick. I really hate feeling waiting for an hours doing nothing. If i am in that situation, I will the time texting friends, to buy sometimes of boredom's.

Since I have a nice cellphone, so I won't feel bored when I am waiting. Usually I will check my emails or post weibo. Sometimes I will also watch a movie. I don't like to waste the time by doing nothing when I am waiting. I love China

I remember I had to wait for very long each time when I went to see my midwife, half hour easily. Fortunately, she has a lot of magazines put out so we can read it while waiting. I am quite and I don't like talking to strangers so I didn't talk to any other pregnant women unless they start a topic. I hate having to wait when it comes to appointment like that but I don't mind waiting at my midwife because I know how patient and nice she is for each expecting mothers, she answers all the question that we ask andnot so rushing to see the next one. I don't like having to wait at the pedatrician office though because I don't want to sit at the room with all the sick kids or babies which might possibly gives germs to my baby.

Hi Porcospino, Very relevant question indeed. Waiting for the train, bus, friends or doctors, the feeling is more or less the same. If you know beforehand that you might have to wait for a bit longer time it would not not be so killing but if it is unpredicted then it is worse than hell. Not only you and me all people at one occasion or the other have had the experience. Usually I look for a news paper, not for the news but for the cross words. This is very interesting and time consuming too. I hate to talk to people while waiting if they are not like minded ones. Second things I do is to make call with my mobile phone. I call them who I had not called for months together or text message or play games. Somehow you have to pass the waiting time.

Hi Porcospino, You're not alone for having that experience. Long waiting really made us bored especially if we are not prepared. For me, I make sure to have in my bag a pocket book to read on while waiting. Or a book of puzzles to solve just to let the time passed by. If nothing as such, I would probably take the risk if someone will be willing to have a chat with a stranger. Just to have something to do, otherwise, I would rather try to sleep, but that is when I'm with someone who can I ask to look after me while sleeping. Or we can try to find if the place is providing something to read like magazines or newspaper, or the least we can do is spend money to chat via our mobilephones to let someone knows we need someone to talk to. That's all in my mind during boring time in waiting. Hope next time better to always slip something to read in your bag to avoid idle time and be bored. Happy mylotting.

I hate waiting seriously one of the least favorite and the most annoying thing to do :/ But if i have to, I listen to music or go online on my fone and chat or facebook yeah that's it.

one thing that is handy is my ever reliable cellphone =) i can do texting, playing games, sounds, and even internet. that can kill time and prevents me to become bored while waiting.
