Brits spend the equivalent of nearly TWO YEARS of their life…just waiting

The average Brit will spend the equivalent of nearly two YEARS of their life…just waiting, according to a new research.

Researchers took an in depth look into how long us Brits spend aimlessly hanging around, with waiting in supermarket queues, delayed flights and waiting impatiently for phones to charge among the main time wasters.

The average Brit will spend TEN HOURS a year waiting for laptops and computers to load and 45 minutes every month will be spent waiting for video buffering to stop, according to the study by TalkTalk.

The research found 11 minutes a week will be spent waiting for our phones to update and the equivalent of nine hours a year will be spent twiddling our thumbs while TV and films painstakingly download.

With many of us online shopping, streaming films or watching live TV on the internet while using other devices at the same time, the demands of modern homes have surpassed standard broadband. 

It’s no wonder that waiting for the internet is causing Brits to lose their cool so much – 138 times year to be precise – that TalkTalk has coined the term “Load Rage” to describe this modern-day phenomenon.
