5 Situations We Just Can't Wait For

Humans are an impatient species, and when forced to wait for something or someone, it doesn't take long before we lose it. Some may be more patient than others, but here are five things most people hate waiting for and how long they are willing to wait. According to a Timex survey, the average person is willing to wait behind a car for 50 seconds when the light turns green. Few things are as annoying as people talking during a movie, with most of us only willing to wait 1 minute and 52 seconds before it stops. Depending on how strict your boss is, you can be almost four minutes late to work before getting in trouble. No one likes waiting in the airport security line before a flight, and on average, we wait 28 minutes before getting upset. Those who can't speak quietly during a phone call have only two and a half minutes before someone gives them a nudge.
