Because of there are so many people in the world,so in some situation,it seems a little crowded.
For instance,you have to wait to the bus or metro to go to work,you need to wait in the line to see a doctor……You know,it's a very common phenomenon.
However,though we can ignore the short time of waitting,what about the long time?Such as 1 hour,2 hours and so on,maybe someone give up at last,maybe somebody want to jump a queue.
What about you?Do you have some good advices?

Before, I used to bring with me some books which I could read whenever I have some vacant hours or waiting for someone. but now, I don't have an idle moment anymore, i always participate in myLot discussion. At any time of the day. I am so happy because I can use my cellphone when participating in the discussion. I can work anywhere.

That gets to be such a hassle! It is when I take a good book with me to read while waiting..

Wwll,that's a better choice,but in the noisy circumstance,it's hard to concentrate on it.

Jumping a queue :) no that will be very unethical. So no I will not suggest that. Reading a book might be a good idea if waiting for a doctor's appointment. If waiting for a bus, I may choose to walk if the distance to be traveled is not much a couple of miles etc.

Well,you are right.
After all others are all waitting for a long time,it's a shameful behaviour.
Your way to deal with the short distance sounds great,it's good for us.
Haha,have a nice day.

Hi,friend
Well, I want to say, I never jump a queue. And I hate people doing that. If I have to wait for a long time, I usually browse some websites on my phone, read some jokes on "qiu shi bai ke", a joke website in China, I am interseted in this website. Also I will find some information about healthy eating and so on. I also like to read some discussions on mylot, but unluckily, my sellphone configuration is not high, I can't reply the discussion on my phone, as the words are limited. So i am eager to have a new phone so that I can send my responce on phone. Have a nice day!

Hi,there,i am a chinese too,you know,it's a common phenomenon that someone jumps a queue.
Well,i dislike those behaviours too,however,most of us always prefer to be silent.
On the contrary ,they even feel that's nothing.
When i was waitting,i like to talk with somebody,if not i will browse my phone too.
Best wishes.

Yes, patience is a virtue. Waiting in lines is very annoying, but it's just something we have to live with. I would suggest keeping yourself occupied like a magazine or maybe play games on your phone. Otherwise, it's just luck when there are times when lines are not too long. For me, I try to plan things based on previous experience. Sometimes, with your previous experience of falling in line for things, you might notice a trend. Like for instance, a certain time and day of the week where it's the least busiest; however, this method only works if there is a trend or pattern that can be found. Planning for these things also helps when you have other things to do that day.

Hum,your advices are great.
When we want to do something,make a plan at frist is more convenient.
Of course,be patient is important for us ,it can helps us solve many tough things.
But i always a little hurry,no matter what i do,i wish i can finish it in a shortest time.Then it makes me easy to angry.
I know it's a bad temper,and i have try my best to change.
Thank you for views.Have a nice day.

Well my tips is to bring something that you can busying your mind with you while you're waiting. Like a good novel, comics or even a video in your mobile phone if your mobile phone can be used to play a video. I realized that even though I have to wait long even as long as 2 hours, I still can wait patiently if I bring those stuffs with me.

Haha,when i was waitting,i couldn't concentrate on it.
Because i always worried about something,well,i didn't know what it was.
However,it's hard for me,i prefer to talk with somebody.
But your advices are useful,i saw many people like that to kill time.
