Waiting in line is one of life’s great annoyances. When it’s the U.S. Post Office that keeps you standing there shifting your weight from one foot to the other, your blood pressure can really soar.
To help, we’ve bringing you a few ideas for how to entertain yourself while waiting in line at the U.S. Post Office to ship your package.
If you had the foresight to load your mobile phone with fun apps like Scrabble or Tic-Tac-Toe, that might keep you occupied. How many Scrabble matches could you pull off in the time it takes to slowly work your way up to the front of the line? Long waits can tax your patience to the breaking point, but a game of Scrabble could give you a needed health boost.
Here’s another idea: Squeeze in some YouTube views of the latest crazy cat vids. You’ll need a set of headphones, so have a pair handy. Then pop those ear buds in and ignore the postal worker who gives you the weird look. You deserve some harmless entertainment. Did you know endorphins released from laughter provide a significant health boost?
Whatever you do, don’t take that mobile phone and shoot a quick video while waiting in line. Postal workers are still a little jumpy after that anthrax scare of a few years ago. You definitely want to keep them happy so they don’t forget what they did with your package — the one that has to cross three time zones in 24 hours.
Of course, you could have shipped your package with Intuiship – the intuitive choice for busy entrepreneurs. There’s still time to turn things around. You don’t have to stand in long lines. That should put a smile on your face!
