A quick drive down the street to pick up dinner should have been no more than 15-20 minutes. It turned out it was longer than I expected.
Why?
I forgot my phone!
I was alone and had nothing to do while waiting... not only that but once I got my food.. I was half way home to realize they forgot my side steak! I had to drive back and luckily my parking spot (right in front was not taken).
Super annoyed 
Now eating dinner!
Edit:
I forgot to also mention, I checked my receipt after ordering because I wanted guacamole, and sub guacamole so double guacamole instead of sour cream but the cashier put double sour cream!

Oh no! You had to go an entire 15-20 minutes without your phone? Oh the agony! How did you survive? Is that why I haven't heard from you lately? LOL

@moffittjc no looking at your phone at the traffic light :) what if it turned green and you get honked for not paying attention!

@infatuatedbby We have become so dependent on our smartphones, it's pretty crazy! I am the same way. If I am waiting in line somewhere, or if I am sitting at a traffic light, I will be on my smartphone. On those days where I don't have my phone with me, or I'm in a place or situation where I can't use my phone, I feel like I am missing out on something. It's that need to always be connected!

I hate waiting especially when I don't have my phone with me. My phone is the best cure for boredom.

I was awkwardly staring .... at my purse, at people - I had nothing to do and it felt 'so' long! Ha-ha.

It means you are very much addicted to your phone and if you do not have it, you just cannot pass your time waiting for something or somebody.

@infatuatedbby Yes, you are right that our smart phones work as a mini computer for us and when we are alone and waiting for someone, our phones help us keep ourselves busy.

I don't call anyone on the phone often but I like to browse :) It is better than awkward silence.

Worse would be driving a long way only to remember that you forgot to bring your wallet with the driver's license in it. Happened to me twice :)

Yeah but luckily I caught it before it was given to me.Regardless if they did scoop me two scoops of sour cream ~ id ask them to give me guacamole instead but I don't like sour cream so I don't want it to touch my quesadilla =P

Who would have thought that these days 15-20 minutes feels long when before we can wait for like an hour or two and still feel okay with it. What did technology do to us?

I m on facebook and whatsapp but i hardly use it. I m a women of few words, don't like talking too much all the time.
My husband gifted me a new handset last month which i never wanted to buy again. My planning was to be away from the phone as it has always interrupted my privacy.
But, it was the scene untill i was not signup on mylot.
Now things and thinking both are changed.

@infatuatedbby no...Not exactly. We use it to stay connect with our loved ones but all my loved ones live locally to my house so either they visit to me or i visit to them. So for me it is not much in use. It is specially in use for receving OTP or bank transaction msg.
