Hurry Up and Wait

myspace backgrounds images


I find the word "waiting" one of the most difficult in the English language. Well, not the word itself. I mean, I know what it means and I can even spell it. It's the whole concept behind waiting that drives me to distraction.

Waaaiiitinnnnng.

I think I've alluded to my little problem with patience before. I hate to be told to wait -- or hold, hold on, in a minute, it'll be a little while, soon, it's going to take longer than we thought, be patient, they'll be right with you, expect a short delay...

If I wanted to wait, I wouldn't be there NOW. Grrrrrr.

You should probably avoid the Department of Motor Vehicles then.

You are absolutely right, Pugsley. That's no place for me when I'm not in the mood to wait.;)

my quirk is when someone in a customer service position (be it a store clerk, 7-11 clerk, any of those type positions) has a telephone, or a cell phone to their ear while waiting on me. i really dislike that a lot.....

Oh, I know what you mean, Don. That annoys me, too.:)
