8 of the worst little waits in life
PATIENCE IS A virtue.
A virtue not many of us have, evidently.
The kettle to boil
Years pass. The kettle has still not boiled.
Traffic lights to change
You age one hundred years. The light has still not turned green.
The lift to arrive
The button was pressed in the land before time. The lift still hasn’t opened.
Toast to pop
Dinosaurs roamed the earth when you put the bread in the toaster. Your toast still hasn’t popped.
The takeaway
You ordered your pizza at around the same time the Romans invaded England. It still hasn’t arrived.
An ad break during your favourite programme
Flowers bloom and wither. The ads are still on.
Someone you fancy to text back
