Protagonist Of Patience Pillows

"Apparently in 'managed care,' you manage by yourself."

'No, Mr. Simmons, your MR images aren't in yet. We have older equipment, which takes a little longer to process.'

"Why do they call it rush hour when no one goes anywhere?"

A tortoise running along the side of the road, panting.

All of our representatives are busy right now. Stay on the line and someone will be with you in a few miles.

Armed forces waiting with nothing to do.

"Don't worry, darling. You'll happen."

"But this time, Lucky, when I throw the ball... you bring it back!"

"Are we done yet? ... Because I'm turning around now."

Test your patience, back in one hour.

"Sorry for the wait, our computers are down. We have to do everything manually."

"I said, 'You must be waiting for 'Mr. Right,' too.'"

'Are you done yet?'

"Tia Carmen, did you ever wish summer was over...so you could be in school?"

Fishing.

"Wanna play 'Waitin’ on the Cable Guy'?"

'I'm ready! You ready?...You ready?'

'I just couldn't wait until eight!'

Waiting to do the second coat was the worst part. It was like watching paint dry.

'You wouldn't believe how hard it is for me to unwind after work.'

"Your call is important to us. Your estimated wait time is less than five hours."

Snail crossing

Women

"I think my Harry must be practicing some sort of Tantric fishing. He'll be at it for hours and not catch a thing."

Margaret got tired of waiting for her ‘slow-brew' tea.

Road work next 15 years.

'This is wonderful. It will help millions of people.'

A knowledge of where the fish are likely to be located can save hours of frustration.

'I like to spend my train journeys reading fiction.' (He looks at Rail Timetable. Sign says 'Delays expected'.)

"Get rich slow"

Due to higher-than-usual caller volume, your wait-time is nine minutes. That's over an hour in wolverine minutes.

Yes, I am slow, but my life expectancy is way longer than yours, so I can still achieve a lot in life...

"Two minutes, 40 seconds. Next ... Two minutes, 53 seconds. Next ..."

"I'm just phoning to tell you your 'cheque in the post' has just arrived."

'Why do I always pick the slow moving queue?'
