How do you enjoy yourself while you are in quee?

The longest time i get to wait is when i go pay bills, like in our water district office the line is quite long and also when going to the bank.. so i usually have a book with me so i could just read while waiting.

Hello the wonder boy- I go a step further- you see whenever I expect to wait for long hours I keep my netbook with me, this is easy to whatever I do sitting back home while waiting there sitting doing nothing else. I have done some important works this way and utilized my time in a proper way. That is one good way of making good og your waiting time, I liked your way.

I have never been that long in line. 15 to 20 mins is my max. When I am in line I people watch and sometimes start conversation with others around me. If I was in for two hours I'd have to bring a stool to sit on. Blessing to you.

Waiting in queue is never a fun experience for most of us. Not unless you have a lot of better things to do why waiting. For me, I always play with my cellphone or listen to the music with it. It gets boring if the queue is really long so I sometimes look around and find something to read like the posters nearby or then back to my phone.

I don't like to be in a long line of waiting persons. Usually , i would just go back at a time that i know has lesser people already. Though sometimes, i would bear it because it's important and has to be done that day. I would put on my earphone and listen to my favorite music.

Hello thewonderboy I usually have a book with me wherever I go, and when I encounter long line-ups, I simply whip it out and commence to reading. These days I have my Kindle Touch with me and I love it because I have such a variety of books with me from which to choose. The longest line-up in which I can remember waiting was way back in the 1970's. I was waiting in line at the Smithsonian Institute to see King Tut's mummy and other artifacts from his tomb. Our family and many friends went. We waited in line for something like 6 hours. Luckily, I had a book with me. I was sorry to see that your fried chicken discussion was deletted. It was a good discussion. Also, how is your hair? Peace

Being or standing in a long quee could be quite distressing..an experience most of us would treat with dislike and contempt. But the order of things necessitates this inevitable practice everywhere . Why must one get impatient for waiting too long to reach his destination?

Hi Wonder, whenever i was in a queue, I will use my waiting time for sending message to my loved ones and friends as well. Sometimes, I will use it for playing some games on my cellphone. If i got bring along a magazine, I would use that time for reading. At least, I won’t feel bored waiting for my turn to come. Indeed it is very frustrating, if we don’t use our waiting for doing something that we enjoy.

I do not have a smartphone. I have a normal one with FM. That does help when I am waiting for my turn anywhere. But then there are places where the FM wont work and then the best I can do is make friends and talk with others waiting. Until recently (I changed my bankers a few months back and so now I can do train reservations online) I had to get to the railway reservation counters and wait. The bank, I rarely visited as most of the transactions were done online or via ATM. So no waiting at the banks though

Hello boy, I hate to stand in queue but what to do we have to stand in it every where.I usually play a game on my mobile phone in such case i don't browse net on my mobile as mine is not a latest tech. phone and i don't like to browse net on phones due to small screen.But that's good thing you did i know by surfing net time flies very fast.

hi, These days I don’t have to wait in Q for bank transactions as I have trained my daughter to do so. And she often deposits thru the machine and sometimes when the line is long, she deposits at the counter. I don’t have net on my cell so I try to talk to the other person or observe activities around me. The last time I was on line was during a group reservation for a train journey i.e. at the ticket counter. The most annoying line so far is the one at shopping mall's counters - you can see a lot of counters vacant and those with counter boys/girls will have long Qs as well. Good that you enjoyed your mylotting and fb from the bank.

I have ever been in the same situation. When I have my novels with me, I won't be too bored with the queue as I know what to do. But if I don't bring anything, I usually watch what people are doing. It's fun you know. Sometimes you can see many silly things done by people. I don't really enjoy browsing from phone so I find it that watching people is a lot more fun.

You needed to queue 2 hours in the bank to make deposits? That is too much! How many counters did they open? Were there any automated teller machine(ATM)or automated banking machine(ABM)installed in the bank? Many banks in my country now require cash deposits below a certain amount to use the deposit machine which most operates 24 hours daily. Some banks here also set a standard that all their customers will be served within 10 minutes of getting the queue number. I guess if anyone were to be stuck in such a terrible jam, the only viable entertainment to pass the time would be to surf or text using their hand phones. But I don't think anyone would enjoy such an experience.

I have a vivid imagination, so I usually try to think up a story or a scenario. Also, if I have a book with me, I may be reading.

If i have to wait for a long time in queue and i am alone, i would always just try to play a game in my cellular phone, or if i have lost battery, i will just patiently wait then - if i come not prepared. ha ha

I suppose you meant 'queue'. Anyway I hate standing in queues. I even don like waiting for my bus. The only thing that I would do in such situations is listening to some songs using my IPod. That is the only way to keep myself calm. In case I did not take my IPod, then I would start overhearing people discussing around me.

I don`t usually have to be in long queues, thanks be given. The longest have been at the airport and I usually allow myself the luxury of a magazine before a flight. That helps a lot.

wb, good to hear that you browsed net through your phone while you are waiting in queue. I am also in your sort, some times i am in need to wait in clients place due to my business purpose, at that time i will use mylot by my phone and spend my time usefully.

I usually deal with the boredom of a queue by either listening to music or talk to the people around me. I seem to have this knack of meeting friendly people while in a long line. Sometimes just talking... I don't notice time passing by and I get to my turn in paying or doing the transaction I came to do.

hi thewonderboy, when I usually have to queue for a long time, talking on the phone or find somethink for read. I don't like strangers accosted me to kill time so avoid such corvesations. Once I had to wait for the train and then i bougth a magazine, so i read and read and it was a realy interesting reading and I would have missed the train :)
