I am prompt. Everyone knows that about me, so consequently, I am rarely forced nor expected to wait for anyone more than a few minutes. Waiting in a line for service? That depends. If it's Christmas, I deserve it. If it's a consistent lack of staff and I can do business elsewhere, I'm gone. If it's a restaurant that cooks from scratch (which I love) I'm willing to wait for a properly prepared meal. (I know how long it takes, especially for food intolerances, and it's more than 7-8 minutes.)

If I have an appointment to meet someone, I will assume after 10 minutes that they have forgotten and leave. They won't be late the next time.....if there is a 'next time'.       :)

I heard something one time that I've never forgotten and try to live by. "If you are late, you are in fact, stealing someone else's time".

I reckon the time spent in a queue or just waiting would depend on the importance of the wait..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Everything the duck said, geez I love that bird.

I HATE BEING LATE FOR ANYTHING!

....depends on my mood or schedule 

.... I attempt to be patient

Oh so do I. My patience lasts about 2 minutes. lol

I don't have much patience. "It's Now or Never." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkMVscR5YOo

I was not willing to wait 45 minutes at The Olive Garden for a table last night. I buy theatre tickets with seat selection when there's down time - no show starting w/n 30 minutes, so no one in line. I avoid waiting and do my best to be early to meet a friend. 

I think the longest I've waited is overnight, 15 hours, for a rerouted flight. Airline supplied a hotel room, food vouchers. 

Grand Seiko fans might also link appreciate his thoughts on the hands and dial furniture ("I made the hour hand as thick as possible and the minute hand long and slender") and the prominent, deeply grooved indexes ("To make it easier to link read the time, the printed line that passes through the center of the hour hand and the groove cut surface in the center of link each index have been made the same width").

The example we have here is offered very simply as "running at time of cataloging" and the seller link gives us enough photos to see a clean possibly unpolished case and an honest dial. It might link be a bit much for some but I am quite drawn to the patina here. In the metal I am sure this would have a unique warmth. Vintage Heuer has crawled back link to a bear market so the price ultimately paid here should be very attractive.
