Do you hate waiting for anything?

Seems like everything is moving in slow motion lately.
Nothing seems to be moving fast enough online. If a page won't load in five seconds or less, most times I get bored and move onto another tab. Later, I come back to that tab and I've forgotten what I wanted on the page. I guess everyone has times like this.
Maybe it's the tiredness that's making me feel this way. I'm trying to work as fast as posisble on everything, but technology and time are not on my side. Everything seems to be dragging today. Actually it's been dragging the entire week.
Maybe I have spyware on my computer and that's making my pages load slow. I've noticed it at every site that I visit. And, it's not possible that the entire Internet has slowed down. So, must just be me.
But, it's not just the Internet. I'm getting impatient waiting for anything. The microwave is too slow. Traffic is too slow. Lines at the mall are too long.
Do you find that everything seems slow lately on the Internet? Does tiredness or fatigue make you feel as if everything is moving too slow?

I'm usually pretty patient, and don't mind waiting a reasonable amount of time for something. I always have lots of tabs open when I'm online, so I'm always flitting around from one thing to the next. I usually don't even notice that things are loading slow, as long as I'm not a deadline.
The one thing that drives me crazy, is when I have to wait around for my husband to get ready to go somewhere. If we have somewhere to be at 10 am, I better start trying to get his butt up at 730, so that maybe he will actually make it out of bed and into the shower by 9!

Isn't that the worst! I just let mine sleep late, and there are never any complaints. He works late anyway, so I kind of owe it to him. Thanks for dropping by!

Yeah. The internet seems to dissipate as time goes by. Maybe it's because it has gone too big and we got distributed too much. :D I have a job interview that has been taking so long.... i'm starting to get anxious. (sigh). I had to do some other things just to try and speed up time and I get tired.. :(
Best of luck! I'm sure you'll do fine.@zeroflashx2 (2491)

Yep we live in such a rush world where there is so much to handle, I know I do, my hubby is sick and it seems all is left on me to do, so I am up to my eyeballs with this needs to be done and that needs to be done now, and the faster I seem to work the be hinder I get.
i pay a good price for HIGH SPEED internet so when I change pages i expect it to change, not to have to sit and wait and wait, if I wanted slow I would have dial up service, check out lines too slow, at places like Wal Mart I will go through the lines that you check out your self, that way I can doit at my speed, after all I have other places to be, and you said it all, tiredness and fatigue is what it is all about, some days I just say ok today is mine not going to the doctor appointment, not going to get groceries, not going to the mall, it is my day and I am not doing anything but what I want, I think we have to take a time out or it will swallow us up and we won't be doing anything. Too many things too little time,

Yes, I have been extremely impatient my entire life. If I can't get something done almost immediately, I will give up on it. I hate I repeat hate long lines and traffic. I will do almost anything to avoid them. I think you are supposed to get more patience with age;unfortunatley it has not worked for me.

There are quite a few things i hate waiting for,like the internet speed being slow,waiting endlessly for a bus or train or a flight.Waiting for the traffic to clear.Most of all waiting at the doctor's clinic inspite of an appointment you have to wait endlessly.It does put me off.Nothing can really be done about these one has to put up and carry on with life.

I feel the same... I hate spyware and virus .. i got my pc stuck for many times... cause my browser loading becoming slower and slower.... I hate waiting for that...
I waste my time so much just waiting for certain page to load.. normally,i should have done all my work in a very short period of time ... but spyware and virus problem will make me to take more time than it supposed to be..
Im so frustrating... argh... :C

I hate waiting for anything which is why I can be bit whimsical and tend to multi task. When my internet is too slow I open a lot of tabs so that I will not have to wait. When I get my mind on doing a project I tend to work overtime so that I can finish it and stop thinking about it. I've gotten used to fast food, the MRT for a faster commute that I think I've gotten used to having everything on the minute I wanted it. I'm so impatient at times that when I have to wait I get moody - especially when it's a very long wait. I am trying though to be more patient. After all, they say patience is a virtue. LOL ~

Hello beautyqueen,
I hate waiting but it is lucky enough that my internet connection is very fast- till now. I feel like everything moves so fast, leaving me behind - very hard to catch up with everything. Maybe, you are just so tired that makes you feel everything is too slow for you. Take care!
