I am out to buy some snacks and other stuff of kitchen. I have bought cookies, Namkeen, spices and peanuts. Now I am standing in the queue to have my billing turn and it's already been 20 minutes. I think I will be free from here in another 10 minutes. Standing in a queue for longer times is boring so I started mylotting.
What do you do when you stand in a queue? Do you have to wait this long when you go shopping?

@Skreekala I don't either. I mean the bending of your neck looking down at your phone must hurt your neck if done for too long. That must hurt the neck very much. I've read somewhere that it's a condition that can hurt your neck very badly.

@anamika161088 I still prefer to shop physically, because I can see and feel the material it is made of, and can see how I look on it right there and then.

This is always a better option. I prefer online shopping just because I get tired and bored standing in a queue. But sometimes I have to go to market physically..

@SIMPLYD This is the main advantage of physical shopping. Though some online stores are now offering this service as well. Like we can try newly bought things and it don't find good then easy returns are there

@anamika161088 I think about the people I'm looking at.
I've known myself for many years. It's not so interesting to think about myself all the time.
When I think my thoughts, I may compose a new mylot post. :-)

You think about yourself or about the people you are looking at that time?

I rarely go for shopping. I use gadgets when I am standing in a queue

Observing others is also good time pass. Phone makes best companions in such sticker places

i was in line with two loaves of bread and it seems the cashier was a new employee because each transaction of the customers ahead of me took so long.

I like to watch people and watch what is going on around me.

Since I am waiting I figure I might as well look around at others and see what they do.

Sometimes observations can make us smile. Sometimes it seems silly as well. What do you think?
