I hate 'Waiting'

What exactly is meaning of 'wait' ? The dictionary I have in my N70 describes wait as 'Stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or occurrence'; 'be delayed or deferred'. I did not find any other satisfactory answers online other than this one.
This seems like trivial meaning to me. Nowadays everyone (be it human or animal) is rushing behind golden egg. No one wants to wait. Its like everyone has developed an allergy to 'wait'. Those who wait are called 'Losers' by this world. Waiting causes stress and trauma and makes one anxious.

Thinking of 'wait' makes me relate to these f***ing instances:
  • Waiting at ATM centeres (most annoying thing there is you have to unwillingly over hear the conversations of peers in line)
  • Waiting to get tokens in self-service eateries ( most annoying when the person billing is very slow and its female. I just hate that. and worst when you end up eating bad food)
  • Waiting longggg to get results of interview (most annoying when you realize that your name is not in list).
  • Waiting to load a Web page (most annoying when net is damn slow but you don't have any other options)
  • Waiting for someone, who puts me 'on hold', while speaking over cell phone (most annoying when the call gets disconnected)
  • Waiting for any competition results ( most annoying when you prepared very hard for it and ultimately you are eliminated)
  • Waiting in queues to get movie tickets ( most annoying when the lady who giving tickets is dead slow / at times ultimately you end up not getting tickets at all)
  • Waiting at Hospital (most annoying is even though you have taken appt a month before and yet wait for your turn like any other patient)
  • Waiting in a traffic jam ( most annoying when an a****le having f***ing 10 feet long car blocking way for others to take over or any f***er have his car hit or any jacka** who never realizes when the signal turns green)
  • Waiting for your roomie to come out of rest-room (most annoying during urgent nature call ;). Everything seems out of focus and numb)
  • Waiting for share market prices to go up (most annoying when you lose your wealth in this gamble)
These are very few of the instances I can recollect. Please feel free to add any to the list.

In one of the article I read a human waits at least one year in his/her entire lifetime. phew!! That sounds huge. Assuming an average lifetime of 75years. Then every day, one has to wait for at least 20minutes per day.

cheers.

Waiting for your manager to end his bakwaas, which he started at 7.20 pm and your cab is at 7.50 pm. If you miss this one, you have to wait for 8.50 cab ;)

This has happened with me!
