 Posted: 02/04/05 - 12:03 Post subject: So here I am at (Innuendo included !!)
the car Dealers getting my wife's car serviced and state inspected.
Came in at 0900, waiting time about 2 hours (There's other work being done). Found this PC so I'm killing even more time by posting away.
Sooo what are you doing to kill the time ? Hey, GREAT idea for a poll:
If you're "stuck" somewhere. What do you do to kill the time ?

Think of old magazines in a waiting room like stepping into your own personal time capsule, albeit one that only goes back five months!

sometimes i read magazines 
sometimes i play games on my phone 
sometimes i call people 
sometimes i complain and make them bring the car out NOW, i don't care if it's done or not, i'm leaving guys, it's been 3 hours and that is just plain stupid. bring it out now. they hate when i do that. now, they're very happy to shuttle me home and then---even better--they come and pick me up when the car is done. it works for us.
i can't stand waiting. you have my sympathies andy.

The girls are almost always with me if I'm waiting, and we all three pull out our books and sit and read.
