Faced a brutal grocery line once that snaked into the frozen foods. I decided to just look at what people had in their carts instead of checking the clock. That lady has three kinds of pickles, interesting. It turned a frustrating wait into a weird little game. Now I try to find one odd or nice thing to notice when I'm stuck waiting. It makes the time feel like a small break instead of a waste.

Ever try setting up a mini assembly line with kid-safe zones, @lily_murray68?
