Talk about a place for people who enjoy waiting…
I don't think they enjoy it but they don't have a choice. lol

I don't have the patience for that anymore.

Waiting to test drive a 2022 Suburban Z71 6.2 and see it in Auburn Metallic or Midnight Blue Metallic before I order. Due to the shortages....been trying to get this done for 2 months! Might just have to pull the trigger and hope all is proper. $80k roll of the dice.

I can’t do it. Every decade or so it’s almost like my mind gets wiped and I think “Hey! Let’s go to Disney!”. As soon as I get to the line to get into the overpriced parking lot it all comes rushing back and I think to myself "WTF did I just do!!!???”

I mean all you do is wait in line. Like literally that is what you spend 90% of the time doing. Line to get into parking, line to get through security, line to get into park, line to get into ride, line to get food, line to GTFO….. then the ride is like 5min if you’re lucky and half of them haven’t been updated since the 70s!

However theres a bunch of Disney super fans who love nothing more. I don’t get it, but hey they employ a bunch of people so. The only way I would ever consider doing Disney again would be with one of those VIP package things where you don’t wait in any lines for anything, but I’m not spending that kind of $$.

I did that once. My company and a few other companies had Disneyland for the night and we didn't have any lines to wait in. That was great. Go on a ride (Matterhorn, for example) and as soon as it's over you go right back and ride it again, no waiting.

This thread feel super relatable. I'm always waiting for something, even years out.

- Waiting for my father to own up to being racist, change his ways and be accepting of my partner
- Waiting for the 6mo mark in June for my company ESPP to hit so I can see how that's going to work for me.
- Waiting for the 1yr mark at the company i'm with for my initial 25% of stock to vest
- Waiting on the 4yr mark there so ALL my stock will have vested
- Waiting to see how my house will appraise for or possibly get listed for next week
- Waiting to see how a potential move will go

Smaller things:
- Body shop estimate on the M4 real bumper re-paint
- THEN i'm sure i'll be waiting on the M4 for forever lol
- New tuner/tune to get here for the Cobra
- Having some time to get the Cobra dropped off to get aligned

I am waiting for the pandemic to ease, my work as a freelance photographer has been decimated and have earned about 25% of my normal income. Funny, I was contacted seven days after relocating back in 12/19 about a rebranding project for a large regional group and the budget was approved. Then I waited while they had delays, then the area was hit by a major tornado and they had further delays. The following week, the pandemic started and I'm still waiting for clients to resume projects. At this point, I've waited more and been force-fed a healthy dose of patience. Now, I'm waiting for the Super Bowl and hopefully things will improve along with the weather.

The wait may be coming to an end. Driving home, I was behind/beside an i4 test mule.

It looked like a normal sedan!!!

I'm waiting for this covid crap to be over so I can get back to whatever life we had before this crap . Sorry, but I'm just getting tired of this covid-19 taking so long. I have all my shots and I don't care what anyone else does, I just want to see a normal world before all this covid-19 took over before I die.

Okay I'm waiting for 3 of those stones for over 2 months now. One or another I don't care, I just want to get my kitchen countertops done so my wife can get off my back. Jk

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I'm waiting for the new gutters I contracted for back in the early fall. That'll have to wait for the weather to get warmer now.

Good to hear. I'm hoping to have better luck with these than my GE Profile set - which I've pretty much repair yearly.

I can state, the KA dishwasher is the shit. 3rd rack is awesome and it's nice to have clean dishes again.

I paid my 2019 taxes, clearly writing on the check "Tax Year 2019". They applied it to 2018. Then mailed me a refund for overpaying 2018. Then fined me for not paying 2019. All of that happened in 2021.

There is something about the Covid supply chain mess that doesn't add up to me...

Factories were closed in most places for a really really short time and we easily should have caught up by now... Housing suddenly nowhere to be found? you mean to tell me that during Covid suddenly everyone decided to buy a house? Car chips? I know the whole back story on supply... but what suddenly demand spiked 6x or what for other chip uses? It doesn't add up.

I am not a conspiracy theorist but there 100% is some sort of profeteering going on in the background... (also part of this is massive injection of money into the economy that drove demand up far above what it should have) - that part I do believe but nothing would add up to the extent we are seeing things now.

I’m waiting on things to slow down at work so I can lower my blood pressure and take some time off.

I’m waiting on parts for approx 45 vehicles at work which causes the rise in BP and the fact that I can’t take off

And right now I’m waiting on my wife to get off the damn phone with work on a Saturday so we can get out of the house on this 70 degree day. Sorry not sorry
