How much time do you waste in a year?

You don't need to answer, I'm going to tell you.

According to a poll in the United Kingdom 2000 people, the average adult wastes a staggering

26 days per year to what they consider wasted time.

Isn't that really staggering 26 days?

Alright if you say so.

Apparently an average person spends nearly two hours daily doing a whole lot of nothing.

Over the course of a week that amounts to 12 hours of wasted time and more than 624 hours annually.

The respondents say waiting on a hold on the phone is their biggest time wasteer.

Really, that is not the biggest time wasteer I can think of.

Another 45% point to waiting in lines as a big drain of their time.

There's tons of sitting in traffic, that's a huge time wasteer.

Others can't stop browsing social media.

No, but when you're stuck in traffic you should be able to, you know, that's when you make your phone calls and search social media.

And of course in the United Kingdom waiting for the kettle of tea or kettle of water to boil for your tea is where you lose track of time.

Yeah well, a watch pot never boils.

You could multitask and waiting for your tea kettle to boil and scroll social media or you could listen to this show chewing the fat which is definitely not a waste of time.

Welcome, welcome to chewing the fat.

Yesterday we talked about, well, we talked about a couple of stories involving monkeys.

And I want to do a quick update on the monkeys that were loose in Pennsylvania on their way to an undisclosed CDC location.

The woman who stopped and helped the monkeys in the truck crash, now feeling unwell.

Oh man, she said that she stopped.
