Have you ever watching
people standing in a line for something?
It is fun to
watch other people as they stand in line for something. Some people
can stand so patiently waiting while others will continually look at
their watch or phone checking the time. In some cases, the more you
check what time it is, the longer the wait seems to be. I know that I
don’t like standing in a long line, but I really try to avoid
checking the time too often so that I don’t get impatient.
The other people are
those in the line that complain how long it is taking to get through
the line-up. Sometimes people complain even when there is only one
person in front of them because they figure that when they show up
somewhere there shouldn’t be anyone else doing the same thing at
the same time. In society today, we seem to have to stand in more
lines than before, but we need to remember that most lines do more
quickly.
Today I stood in a line
for almost 45 minutes, and it was fun watching others in line. Some
of them didn’t seem to mind the wait, while others looked very
frustrated. We ended up in a conversation with a couple of people
close to us in line. Maybe that made the wait not seem as long but
knowing that we might have to wait before we even got there probably
helped us.
Next time you are in a
line waiting for something, watch the people around you and see how
they are handling the wait, you might be entertained.
