🚦 Ever feel like you’re always racing against time? Turns out you’re not alone! A recent poll of 3,000 Brits reveals just what grinds our gears when it comes to waiting around. 😤
🙄 At the top of the list? Transport delays, slow internet, and yep, you’ve guessed it—those snail-pace walkers! 🐢 Nearly half of us get majorly annoyed by train delays, buffering online, and people who take their sweet time when walking.
🕒 The study shows that patience is getting thin, with almost a third of us unable to wait even a single minute for a webpage to load, and a mere 12 minutes being the limit for transport delays. It’s clear we’ve become an impatient nation, but who can blame us when life’s moving so fast? 💨
💡 In response, Sky Broadband is trialling ‘Fast Lanes’ in places like Leeds and Glasgow. Imagine getting to duck the dawdlers on busy streets, thanks to these speedy new pedestrian lanes! 🚶♂️💨
📈 And for you tech lovers, Sky’s also rolling out the country’s fastest broadband yet, so you can say goodbye to the dreaded loading icon forever.
🚀 Whether we’re pulling faces at the slow service, furiously tapping our screens, or pressing the lift’s ‘close door’ button like it’s our job, the desire for speed is real! From Boomers to Gen Z, we’re all feeling the itch for things to hurry up—especially since delays seem to hit some generations more than others.
🧘♂️ So, while some of us scream at our smart speakers or drum our fingers impatiently, remember—sometimes taking a breath might just help. But if not, there’s always Sky’s ‘Fast Lanes’ to keep us moving at a pace we love.
