WAITING

Introduction

Waiting is so annoying sometimes when you just want to make whatever you are waiting for, hurry up! Most people don't like to wait and I don't, so that's why I want you to think that waiting is the worst thing ever!

Firstly, you are late for work and you are at the last intersection before your work and the light terns red.  oh no you are even later for work. you have 5 minuets for your lunch Break and you want to get a coffee, so you go to get one but the coffee machine is out of order, you ask the worker how long it would take to fix it. He said 5 minutes. good, you say but the worker needed to go to the bathroom, so you say be quick so the worker goes to the bathroom but he is taking a long times so you call him and you say "Hurry up", so the worker Hurry up but you are not paying attention to the time and a hour past and the worker has finally finished fixing the coffee machine but suddenly, your boss walks down the steps and you get fired for being REALLY late back for and for him having to what for your or a hour And, you didn't even get you coffee!    Have this ever happened to you? What was your reaction? 

secondly, waiting it takes up to much time and if you wore at school it would take up valuable learning time too and if you are in a test and you are waiting and you have a light bolbe and think of a stratigy but you are waiting to long that you forget that stratigy.
