Waiting 2.0

In the future, will people have to wait a long time for things? These are some of the major events in life that often take too long:
(a)  Waiting for Santa Claus
(b)  Waiting for the bus
(c)  Waiting for your name to be called by the Department of Motor Vehicles
(d)  Waiting for your luggage in baggage claim
(e)  Waiting for the right person to come along so you can find love or marriage
(f)  Waiting for your career to take off
(g)  Waiting to die when you're in extremely poor health

My suggestion would be to assess each person's capacity to wait without going bonkers, and then keep their waiting times under that threshold. If this works, you could do the same for pain. Or even disappointment, if you don't mind a somewhat broader category.
