Everybody hates waiting in line and on hold... Plus their perceptions time / reality get whacked quickly when waiting in line.
If a person waits in line 30 seconds, they act like it's 5 minutes. If they wait 5 minutes, they act like it's half an hour, and if it's half an hour, why they've been standing in line ALL DAY.
People often receive excellent superfast customer service and yet think they got really bad poor service because they had to wait as little as 45 seconds to 2 minutes to get served.
I think it's more related to the falsehood that time = money myself. that was spread on every one since the 50's probably even earlier.

| Falsehood? For me time = money bigtime! On any given day I am usually working for a client, or between clients. The faster I get to the next one, the more I can cram in, and the more $$$.
Maybe you're one of those salaried corporate slaves who barely gets motivated enough to send out 2 memos a day? |

Exactly my point KrK.
Davros866 If your time is money then why bother sleeping why not just run around for life no sleep no food?
Problem is people don't realize there is more in this country then just them. Until this happens the country is going to continually sink to the ranks of a 3rd world country.
Time may be money for people, but they need to also realize running around like a chicken with your head cut off wears you thin. Is it worth getting an ulster or a heart attack to make that extra $100 at the end of the week? No wait uncle same gets their hands on that so let me rephrase, Is it worth it for that extra $58 a week.
I also do consulting and many server and pc repairs. I am not killing myself speeding down a highway for $58 more a week. I am also not going to put myself in a hospital and lose all my pay for a month or 2 either.
Being from the south where they usually have the laid back view of life knowing that they don't have to speed around to get stuff done should show ya Davros866. Personally I like the slow paced life down there sure as hell beats killing yourself for short money and at the end of a month having nothing to show for it but a headache / ulster / heart attack.
