Waiting

Dave โ€”

What do you guys do when you are waiting? How many of you actually feel like you [i]must[/i] do something while you are waiting?

Im waiting for my wife to get here... shes moving to Boston with me. This is weird because i have at least 4 hours to kill and i dont want to do anything... so i want to do something but i dont want to do anything...

make sense? anybody ever get like that? ... whats up with that anyway...

what the hell am i talking about

Im not very good at waiting...

You could try holding your breath.

However if I was in your situation I would probably cook something.

Read a book.

you sound like waiting is makin u really anxious and cos ur feeling anxious you dont want to do anything

when im feeling like that i normally listen to some Quran recitation always helps me relax n alot more patient.

The most relaxing and least strenious thing you can do is:

Take a nap.

Noor โ€” Sat, 9 Sep 2006 - 22:20

Totally agree with you on that one!

You โ€” Sun, 10 Sep 2006 - 00:03

Make sure you are the one who is late.

By default, you will not have to do any waiting.

whoa whoa whoa

now now girls whats all this?? women dont really take that long!!

me on average normal workday 10-15 mins at max to get ready (obviously depends where am goin)!!

see id rather wait, than occupying myself. like my mum she'll do things ryte till the last min of leaving the house, then hey what do u know were late!!

men have a habit of complaing esp when hungry!! u complain if ur wife luks a mess and u complain when she takes her time making her self luking nice for u!!! :roll:

Noor โ€” Sun, 10 Sep 2006 - 01:26

I have a disgusting habit of biting my nails, twirling my hair and tapping my feet when I'm waiting for something.

And if its waiting for something stressful...exam results/interview etc then I've usually lost my appetite and cant sleep at night.

I hate waiting, I'm very impatiant.

Currently waiting for the delivery of our new washing machine. They said it would arrive before 2pm. Liars. :x

Best way to pass the time is by reading. Iโ€™m reading [i]The Jannissary tree[/i], by Jason Goodwin. Great book.

[color=magenta]yeah i do that n tapping my pen or chewing it and also humming[/color]

Okay now i feel bad... i may have been a stripe too hasty in getting all angry at her. apparently she was getting hot flashes and feeling nauseous again so she lay down for a little bit.

Right, well live and learn.

No harm no foul - AND we got to dinner so everything evened out.

Yessir, no problemo.

Im just going to award myself a mulligan and forget this ever happened.

Carry on!
