Found out a random stat about how much time people spend waiting in line and it blew my mind

I was reading some random article on my phone while waiting for my oil change last Tuesday. It said the average person spends about 2 years of their life just waiting in lines. Two YEARS. I did the math in my head and figured that's like 17,500 hours standing around staring at a wall. Has anyone else come across a fact that totally messed with your head like that?

Calculate it out per day though and it's not that bad. If you sleep 8 hours and work 8 hours you have 8 hours of free time. Waiting in a line for 20 minutes here and there barely registers.

Huh, never thought of it that way. You kinda changed my mind, I've been way too dramatic about little delays.
