Which explains why nobody cares about hold times, shipping speeds for purchases, or when other people are late. You can just make toast while you wait. More power to you, but I find the short pauses in apps the worst. If some function is going to take time to run and I expect that, absolutely, I can walk away and come back to it. I do this frequently. But these are not the sorts you generally see on phones - you get terrible 7-10 second pauses as something slow launches, talks to a slow server, thinks weirdly hard about something because of a slow loop, whatever. Especially when unexpected, 7 seconds is insufficient to task-switch, so yes, you end up staring at your phone.
