A good take on waiting in line.
Some thoughts:
1. Perception is everything.
The same wait time was perceived differently by airport guests. It does say something for people thinking through how folks experience the same event. I wonder out loud what other areas of life would benefit from this kind of thinking.
2. I would dislike standing around.
It’s easy for me to feel idle when I’m standing doing nothing. Walking to a luggage carousel at least feels like doing something, even though the overall wait time would be the same. I’d rather take the same time driving around a traffic backup as I would waiting in it.
3. Uncertainty in waiting?
Well, one day I’ll give a big lecture about uncertainty in waiting and how I give that emphasis of this article a big thumbs up!
