How do you kill time when you wait for things?

I guess we should make the best of the time when we wait for a train, a person, a movie, etc. When I wait something so badly, it seems that a second changes to an hour! Apparently, the time hasn't been made full use of! Time is so precious, as you know, I shouldn't kill it anyway!
Do you wait something anxiously or do you wait as you don't wait? haha

That's a great idea! I will put my book in my bag next time when I wait in line! Thanks for sharing! Just pay attention to purse when there is a crowd! Don't give an opportunity to the theif! haha

Waiting for something is really very hard. To avoid waiting I try to go to places on the exact time but still sometimes I have to wait. I don't listen to music while I'm outside because it distracts me from paying attention to the road(everyone should avoid it). I just sit and think of something interesting until I have to wait no more.

I crochet or do some other form of needle work while I wait. I make chemo ball caps for kids with cancer too. That keeps me very busy. I take a lot of elderly folks to their doctor appts., so I get a lot of crochet and needle work finished that way. I give it all away too.

Normally I will just read my books or jotting down notes on my old Nokia phone. I was hoping to get a Blackberry or Nokia E71 so that I can type faster but due to financial constraints, I cannot do that yet. LOL. But yeah, I won't just sit or stand there doing nothing. It's a complete waste of time. I will make sure I go prepared with books, notes, pencil, etc.

hi hiddenwing, There are certain things I do while waiting it depends who that person and if he or she is worthy of my waiting. If I really need to wait I will seat in a corner then using my cellphone I will read the Bible or playing games in it. I have my waiting time limits up to one hour I am sure that is fair enough. Thanks, can you be my friend and add me in your list?

Yeah, absolutely! Sometimes, I also play some phone games! Since I am still a postgraduated student, I guess I should make full use of the waiting time to study. Taking some word notes with me, I can try to recited some next time! It is just my dream! I don't know wether I can realize it. Haha

Usually if I am waiting for something for a while I listen to my ipod or I talk to someone that I haven't for a while on the phone. But another good idea would be that if one is at a bus stop to see if there is anyone inviting to have a conversation with. They might have a lot of things to say. I usually call a friend on the phone and this is a good time to return calls that I have missed when I was busy at work.

When I expect a delay, such as waiting at the airport for a plane, I always take a book to read. However, I just as frequently spend the time conversing with another person who is also waiting than actually reading my book. I used to take some handwork to do while waiting until home security banned needles and scissors in carry on baggage.
