Ella Doroudy, Margate Station
We were at the beach for the day, and now are on our way home.We don't have to wait very long, because we checked the timetable so we got here in time for the train.I just chat with my mates, really, and listen to music until the train comes.Waiting with other people is easier because you can kill time when you're talking about stuff.
Caroline Lacey, Streatham Dental Center
I don't really get nervous about seeing the dentist, but since these two fillings (补牙的材料) came out I've been in sharp pain.It's very bright and airy here, so it's quite calming.Usually I kill time by reading magazines.I've been coming to the dentist as and when I need to, but now it's got to be regular.
Katie Hawkins, Model Casting
I was a bit late today, which I'm quite pleased about because some of these girls have been waiting ages.You can't help but look at everyone else a bit - you look at the other girls and think: "I wonder if they'll like her better than they like me." While I'm waiting, I'm thinking:"Oh come on.I_do_have_a_life!"
Paul Thomas, Royal London Hospital
I feel pretty indifferent (满不在乎的) while I'm waiting here, to be honest.It's something I've got very used to since my motorbike accident seven years ago, I've had about 32 operations so far.It's no good rushing in thinking you're going to escape in five minutes, so I just sit back and peoplewatch, really.
