Watch Earth’s plates separate.
And they are:
1) The wait in an urgent care’s waiting room on a Tuesday morning after Labor Day. 2,700 people were there 15 minutes after opening. (All the people who would have gone on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday stampeded the facility today.)
2) Road repair. (The jury’s out on this one, but I suspect plate tectonics is a little slower.)
3) Watching a foreign move because your good looking date wanted to.
4) The line at the DMV.
5) Red lights. (There’s always a direction of traffic that gets massively favored and one that gets screwed.)
6) Any line when you have a bad back.
7) Reading the last 200 pages of War and Peace. (Again, another close call.)
8) Parties where you are the only introvert, don’t know anyone, and have no ride home.
9) And there are no snacks to eat and no animals to pet.
10) Recovering from Covid.
11) Watching a pot of water and waiting for it to boil.
12) Games of Risk(tm), Uno(tm), and Monopoly(tm).
