It's all we do: play the waiting game and wait for something eventful to happen. Every minute of our lives is spent waiting for something. People love to say that it's time to stop waiting for things and go get them… well, technically most things we can't stop waiting for. When we are awake, so many of us are waiting to be able to go to sleep, and when we're asleep we're subconsciously waiting on our bodies to wake up. Let me prove how much waiting we humans actually do with these 40 things we don't always realize we are waiting on:
1. Waiting for your morning coffee to brew
And if you don't make your own coffee, you're probably waiting in line at Starbucks for your large cold brew.
2. Waiting on the shower water to get hot
3. Waiting on your car to warm up in the morning
4. Waiting on the work day to be OVER
5. Waiting on your leftovers for lunch to heat up in the microwave
6. Waiting on the World to Change
