The Annoying Waiting Game...

We all play the waiting game. Maybe we don't notice it, but the below most probably applied to you once or more in your life.

1. You've been standing at the bus-stop for more than 15 mins, and you wonder when the bus is coming. You know you're not taking a bus from the countryside (think bus service 175), moreoever you're paying *good* money (fare hikes anybody?) to the bus company to take a ride.

When the bus comes, it comes in 2's or 3's.

2. You've waited for nearly an hour (or more) since your scheduled appointment time with your doctor at the polyclinic/hospital (*Note: Government medical facilities). When it's finally your turn, you head straight in.

And then you come out less than 5 mins later. You notice the next guy goes in after waiting for less than 15 mins since his scheduled appointment time.

3. You arrived at the restaurant for the wedding dinner at 7:30pm sharp, but the dinner doesn't begin until 9pm.

And when the dishes are served, they are served with such blazing speed that you wonder how you ever managed to down that 10-course meal in less than 2 hours.

4. You think of buying something which you've really wanted for a very long time. When you hit the streets to look for it, stocks have run out in nearly every store you go too. "You'd have to wait until next Wednesday before stocks arrive."

Makes you wonder if it's a conspiracy against yourself.
