Why do people whisper in the waiting room?
@Einherjar Just in case it scares off the thing that they're waiting for!
@patchwork_mind If that were the case I'd just not go there... It could be me though
@Einherjar Honestly a good question... perhaps people are used to only waiting in certain situations... doctors? dentists? Solemn places.
@patchwork_mind Waiting for food in a restaurant? Waiting in a queue in a supermarket? Waiting at different bureaus to have the paperwork rejected and deemed insufficient?
Naah, we wait too much to be limited by "solemn" waiting places.
@Einherjar I think you're right there actually. I wonder what it is then? I wonder if any sociologists have studied the phenomenon...
@patchwork_mind i wanted to ask the GP when I was in, but forgot :)
