What do you do when you are in the waiting room?  

I will always bring a book so that I can read while waiting. Either that, or I'll bring along a notepad for me to jot down notes on things which I need to do, or just to brainstorm some ideas for my personal projects. I always do that. I will never go to a waiting room without bringing anything.

what do i do when i wait? well if i have my mp3 player with me i just listen to music while waiting or often times i bring a good book with me and read..that keeps my mind off waiting...

when we wiat to see the doctors in the hospital i always play with the toys with my daughter,but if her dad comes i dont get a look in so i read a mag or if my friend is working that day i talk to her when shes not busy

i keep my mp3 player with me all the time..
and listen to some music

Waiting without doing anything is the toughest thing for me. I'd go crazy really so when I know I'd be waiting, I always bring a lot of magazines or book to read. I love reading so that will really help me beat boredom. And if the place permits, I would love it if I can bring my laptop so I can do myLot while waiting. Would it not be great?

I can answer this question the best. Ask me how many times and for how many long hours I have waited for different reasons and different places. During such extremely boring moments I try to observe people around me.When I do enough of that, I start playing games in my cell phone.I then start calling up people (unless i am required to maintain silence).Last but not the least, I befriend someone who is around and start a random conversation to kill my time(only if I find someone friendly and entertaining enough). When I am travelling and have to wait in stations and airports for long hours, I carry my ipod and listen to music. That I feel is one of the best way to kill time.

When i am in the waiting room,I read.There is always a good stack of magazines available.I also walk around a little bit to pass some time.When i go to my doctor's office,there can be a 3 hour wait.I just don't understand how the secretary books the appointments.She will book the appointments,starting at 10 or 11 in the morning and my doctor doesn't even show up until after dinner.He does all his hospital rounds in the mornings.I could never understand this?

I normally read a magazine or start a conversation with someone fortunately we have waiting system in England where anybody serious comes into the hospital they get treated first and the waiting time comes up on a banner then you can then decide whether you want to stay and wait or go and come back later.Up at the doctors surgery we have an appointment system so no one has to wait long if we wait to long we can complain and they do something about it.It is the same at the dentist and optictians it is pretty good here .

Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking Thinking just think why i am in waiting room why i don't have skills to People Wait for me on Waiting Room
Have a nice day.

Hey hey ,
Usually if I am with someone i will chat with them till they go to see the doc . I am kinda shy so chances are i will not talk and maybe just small talk with someone . Back in the day I would just day dream while looking at a mag or something . Now i will bring a book with me or do some writing and the time will fly by
