The waiting time paradox: why is my bus always late? (2018)

But, somehow, lighting a cigarette at the station makes the bus spawn instantly. 100% reproducible.

As a non smoker, I'll buy some cigarettes and see if I can reproduce.

Thanks for the tip!

I don't understand all those smokers that are lighting a cigarettes seconds or 1 minute before the bus reaches the halt. Most of the time you can see the bus from a distance yet they still light them up.

maybe they know they can't smoke on the bus, so they "need" to smoke as late as possible before getting on to survive the ride? idk, not a smoker.

Waste of time because the universe knows you don't actually want that pleasure of the cigarette and will be further punished by the cigarette for your hubris.

Filter tip only, I hope.

Eh, a bus ride is a bus ride. They're all outside of the 'comfort window' so to speak. When I was heavily dependent on nicotine I could still go a couple hours and not really mind it.

Maximizing the minutes doesn't track but people are irrational. When I got an e-cig my use went way, way higher.

I've been told by the manufacturers that cigarettes increase the odds of reproducing.

For me it is shorter : I don't understand all those smokers.

I wish there were an r/AngryUpvote thing here
