    which do you think is worse to spend your time waiting for something or someone...

    waiting in line???
    or
    waiting on hold (phone)???
     
    For me both are boring, but waiting on hold is worst, since Its going to be wasting minutes on my phone, can't talk with anyone, so boring. At least waiting in line I can speak with some other people waiting in line too, conversation will make the wait seem less.
     
    Id say waiting in line. I hate just standing around in a store waiting for something. At least if you're on the phone and you're at home you can sit down to wait.
     
    Waiting in line for sure. Waiting in line are more boring cause you have to just stand there. You can talk to people but that can be awkward for me. So I rather be on hold cause I can walk around at least and sometime they have good on hold music. lol
     
    Waiting on the phone, because I have to listen to the stupid music they have when you are on hold and the thing is, you can't ignore it because you need to listen out for them! :(​

    Waiting in line. At least if you're on hold, you can usually do other things. Waiting in line is usually limited to playing around on your phone or something, which doesn't really work out since you're so focused on getting out of there.
     
    Waiting on hold is worse, I prefer queuing, its described as my country's national pastime by the way.
     
    Definitely on hold, though it also depends what I'm waiting for in the first place. I don't mind waiting in line because it's more interesting and you can at least witness the progress, but one time the whole line was held up by a lady who wanted a thorough explanation on how to use her product and I was holding heavy stuff and it was really beyond frustrating. But there was also a time where I was on hold with Blizzard for over an hour and then the call just dropped so I had to wait all over again.

    Well anyway, in general I find being on hold more frustrating/tedious.
     
    Waiting in line.
    If I'm just on hold, I can wander around the house, go on Facebook, quietly listen to music, etc.

    In line I'm stuck standing there with a bunch of strangers. It's a lot more tolerable if I happen to be with friends, though (mostly because we act like idiots and probably irritate other people).
     
    Waiting on the phone is dreadful o.o
     
    Waiting in line is worse for me because I just have to stand there, doing nothing, until the line moves minutes later.
     
    I don't mind either to be honest. Lines, especially traffic if that counts lol, are relaxing in a way to me. And you never know who you'll meet in a line! Being on hold doesn't happen that often to me, and when it does, I'm right next to a computer, I'll do something until someone picks up.
