Lets be honest, no one likes waiting in line.
But its a small price we have to pay to keep things fair and respectful for everyone.
The woman in thisReddit story, however, didnt seem to care.
Little did she know, karma was about to catch up with her just outside.
After all, who actually enjoys standing around with nothing to do?
Butresearchsuggests its not the wait itself that bothers us; its just about everything else that comes with it.
The first one might seem obvious.
Isnt standing in line supposed to be inherently dull?
Well, not exactly.
If were distracted or have something to occupy us, we hardly notice the time passing.
Take 20th-century New York, for instance, when people started grumbling about elevator delays in the new skyscrapers.
The solution wasnt more elevators;it was mirrors.
Then, theres the stress of realizing a line is much longer than expected.
Depending on the circumstances, it can be considered torturous.
Imagine youre at the airport, inching through a long security line with boarding about to close.
Every minute feels like an eternity, and that anxiety is anything but minor.
Interestingly, were often okay with long waits if theres something worthwhile at the end.
They are not negative queues.
But how should we cope?
Perhaps we can take a cue from the nanny.
Commenters couldnt help but celebrate the satisfying dose of petty revenge
Thanks!
