Hurry up and Wait......

[Spearmint]

So currently sat in a DMV office in Sunny California as I want to add a Motorcycle portion to my licence. I arrived here 15mins before the 8am door opening time were the queue was already 200 deep. Nearly 3 hours later and still not called forwards.

This truly is the epitome of misery and apparent time vortexes. I think in the real world it's now the year 2040 and my Wife has remarried in the South of France with her own Vineyard. A great comfort as I sit crushed between x2 black as 2am, 24 Stone behemoths calling each other, 'Gurlfrend' and talking about some sh*t they watched on Whooping Goldberg the other night whilst filing their oversized claws.

So tell me goaters, what's been your worst experience of having to wait in perpetual depression?

I remember once having to wait at the bar in a pub, whilst the Landlord changed a barrel of Theakstones.
Some people are never readily prepared...

I remember watching new arrivals in Cyprus planning their day down town to sort out all their bits and bobs, only to return broken hours later having achieved nothing.

Waiting for the "guaranteed next day delivery" to the Highlands of Scotland knowing full well that it won't appear and I will be arguing with the company I bought it from.

Waiting at miami airport for 36 hours to get a flight back to Belize cos we'd run out of money. Pre credit card days. Should have been 14 days r&r run out of money after 11 days. TACA said we'd have to wait the 3 days but the airport security got ****ed off with us and got us on a flight.

The yanks passing through looked after us and the tips on the tables helped. ;-)

Going by what is said from the commenters on that story the 20min limit rings true. I'm a true Brit at the start, all smiles and pleasent chit chat but that feeling that my time is much more important than the others around me doesn't take long to settle in.....
