The fun about waiting

Nothing new to read about, so i guess i'd write something funny.. :)

The fun about waiting:

We as a human race, spend a lot of our time waiting, right? I mean, think about it. We wait for something everyday in our life. From the day we are born, we have been constantly waiting for something. As a baby, we wait for our milk bottle, wait for someone to see us when we cry in the middle of the night and so on. As we grow older, we wait for parents to say something to us, we wait for them to buy that toy for us, we wait for the teacher to call out our names, we wait for the principal to finish his boring speech everytime there is a gathering, we wait as we prepare to enter the examination rooms, and we wait for the results. As we grow even older, we wait for our university applications, we wait for our job interviews, we wait for the employer to ask questions, we wait for his answer. When we finally start ot go to work, we wait for public transport, we wait in a traffic jam, we wait tirelessly for the end of the month to arrive so we get our paycheck.... Along the way, we wait for the toilet, we wait for the dam computer to load, we wait for downloads to finish... Then, we also wait for our government to buckle up, we wait for oil prices to go down, we wait for gold prices to go up, we wait for the perfect timing to start investing in something. Hell, we even wait to have sex :P To the day we die, we even wait for it, wondering when will my heart, lungs, or my brain die off. SEE!! We are waiting for virtually EVERYTHING!

So, in reality, we wait a lot, and i don't mean it literally. Here's a simple calculation. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#Timeline_for_humans, we humans live an average of 66.12 years before death. So, thats 24150.33 days = 579607.92 hours = 34776475.2 minutes = 2086588512 seconds before we die. Right, so i'm guessing we spend an average of 3 hours a day worth of waiting, in a month, thats 90 hours, in a year, thats 1080 hours, over 66.12 years, thats 71409.6 hours. In percentage, thats 12.3% of our time in life spent waiting.

I mean, HOLY SHIT!! The term waiting, means that we are mundane and unable to do anything else as we WAIT for a particular action, acitivity, person or speech. That means that time is being wasted. I don't know about you, but i think 12.3% of time spent waiting is just a waste of time. What about you? Still think waiting is fun?
