Top 10 Things Homeowners Can Do That Are More Important Than Waiting 4 Hours for Their Service Technician

  1. Watch Paint Dry
    It’s strangely therapeutic and you’ll actually see some progress—unlike checking the driveway every five minutes for a van that may never appear.
  2. Count How Many Socks Are Missing Their Partner
    A guaranteed way to feel productive. Bonus points if you find the mythical sock dimension portal.
  3. Read the Terms and Conditions You’ve Been Ignoring Since 2003
    It’s riveting stuff—there’s probably an HBO series in there somewhere.
  4. Alphabetize Your Spice Rack
    It’s amazing how quickly cinnamon next to cumin can change your culinary life. Plus, it’s a nice distraction from your technician’s “almost there” text.
  5. Start Learning Klingon
    By the time your technician arrives, you’ll at least know how to ask, “Where were you?” in a whole new language.
  6. Attempt to Fold a Fitted Sheet
    Four hours might just be enough time to master this dark art—or at least convince you it’s truly impossible.
  7. Try Out All the Functions of Your Fancy Coffee Machine
    By the technician’s arrival, you’ll be caffeinated enough to fix the issue yourself (or at least believe you can).
  8. Update Your Passwords to Something Other Than “password123”
    Let’s face it, it’s time—and your technician’s delay has finally forced you into doing the right thing.
  9. Recreate Your Home in Minecraft
    Because virtual renovations are quicker, cheaper, and don’t require awkward small talk.
  10. Write a Haiku About Waiting
    Four hours waiting here,
    Watching clouds drift by slowly—
    Service tech still late.
