According to a new survey of 2, British adults, all of the luxuries of modern life have made most people incredibly impatient — across pretty much every aspect of their lives.
Three quarters of those surveyed said they believe the dominance of digital technology, such as smartphones and on-demand TVs, are to blame for this ever growing lack of patience. Respondents reported becoming frustrated after just 16 seconds of waiting for a web page to load, and after 25 seconds of waiting for a traffic light to change. Often times, all it takes is mere seconds of waiting for people to lose their cool.
For example, respondents reported losing their temper after just 20 seconds of waiting for ink to dry on a greeting card. Surveyed Brits also reported losing their cool after just 18 seconds of searching for a pen. Even a cup of tea , an undeniable symbol of British leisure time, incited anger among respondents if the kettle took more than 28 seconds to boil.
Surprisingly, despite all of that impatience, the survey revealed that most people are still willing to wait a few days for a package or letter in the mail. People who answer emails right away, and people who will not email you back unless it is a total emergency or necessity. The former group frustrates impatient people to no end, because not getting an answer to a question is unbearable, and emailing several times makes us look psycho.
I love getting an email that says my book has shipped and then actually getting it like three weeks later. Cool, Amazon. I love ordering clothes online, because leaving my apartment for most reasons is just unacceptable. However, convenience comes with a price. You have to actually wait for your clothes to arrive, and this may take a couple of weeks.
Waiting for the release of a book or movie in which your heart and soul is invested. Martin right now for taking his sweet time with the Game of Thrones series, but I remember back when J. Rowling was pumping out Harry Potter books every year, and the second after I finished a book would be the worst because it meant waiting a year for the next installment. And empty. As though someone forgot about me.
Surprises give me anxiety. I cannot deal with them. Waiting for a surprise is just too much. Now you are stuck in an airport for hours with overpriced Burger King and limited WiFi.
What did you do to piss off the gods now? Like, truly depressing. Everyone around you hates life, and it shows. Some may use traffic as a time to listen to their audio book, or collect their thoughts, but I use it as a time to feel sorry for myself.
