We wait a lot. LIke A LOT for this.

We wait a lot for this. Six f’n months according to the WTF Question

We wait a lot. Like, A LOT.  Being able to wait for stuff is a constant test of our human patience.  I'd venture a guess that other animals in the natural world don't wait for stuff like humans do.  If an crocodile sees a tasty treat, do they wait on line before eating it?  Hell no!  Yet, when I go to Strollo's for an Italian Ice I'm always waiting in line before my taste buds enjoy that cold and creamy sensation.  Meanwhile, my pal Mr. Croc has devoured his meal in seconds.  I'm tellin' ya, the ability to wait for things sets the human being apart from the rest of the animal world.  Well, that and our opposable thumbs which allow us to hold tools (kinda a game-changer, amirite?)  Well, today's WTF Question is all about waiting.

The average person spends six months of their life waiting for THIS.  What is THIS?   

To clarify, that's an accumulative six months.  Not one long stand-and-wait type situation.  Add it up over the course of our lifetime.  We spend six months doing this.  Hmmm.

Wrong WTF Answers Only

As with most What's That Fact trivia questions, there's a ton of fun over on the WRAT's Facebook page when it comes to all the wrong guesses.

Some of my favorite wrong answers include:

Wrong, wrong, WRONG!wrat

Yeah, none of these are correct.

Raj waiting for the dinner decision is a good guess... but I'm thinking that's a bit longer, LOL!

And more wrongnesswrat

These are wrong, wrong, wrong!

Mike apparently needs more fiber in his life if he's still waiting for the perfect poop.

This wrong answer touches a raw nerve.wrat

This touched a raw nerve with me.

This pisses me off so much!  Laura's answer hits home!  Why are we even setting appointments anymore?  Waiting for the doctor to actually see me takes forever!  First comes the waiting room, never a good experience.  Then comes the second wait... that's when you're in the little room with the paper roll pulled out on the bench and you're still waiting forever for the doctor to come in.

And why is it that the representative from the pharmaceutical company gets waived back immediately?  Hmmmmm.

There's Only One Correct Answer For The WTF Question

And the correct answer for today's WTF Question was called in to The Morning Rat Race by Peggy from Point Pleasant, New Jersey.  Peggy's correct answer was, "Waiting for the red light to turn green".

YUP!  Great job Peggy!  Thanks for playing the trivia question.  Always fun to kick off the work week on a Monday!

As for other answers to other questions:  Have a look at these:

Look Back At W.T.F Questions

We love the W.T.F Question because it's a great way to ease into the Monday workday.

The W.T.F Question is a trivia question that always asks the same question... and that question is:  What is THIS?

It's the best way to slip into the work week, shake off the weekend cobwebs and get your brain started.

So grab your java and a pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich and join us for a scroll back through the W.T.Fs through time.

Something that people keep in their car.

Facebook had a field day with this one...

Turned out the answer was:  Toilet Paper

Male / Female relationships, question number 1,234

The answer to this one?  Clean Up.  Because, you don't do it correctly, guys.

Bad news riding shotgun in the car of broken dreams for this W.T.F

The answer is in the comments...

Please, don't say the answer is, "how to drive the damn thing".

Nah, the answer on this W.T.F was:  their license plate (Guilty as charged!)

Here's another car W.T.F that is STUNNING

The answer was: How to put air in their tires. Wow. That's incredible. Losing faith over here...

Here's another one that the Facebook audience had a field day on...

But the answer on this W.T.F Question wasn't so sinister.  It was, "the cost of the gym membership".

Ummmm... Yeah, I'm just gonna leave this as "age".

But the answer actually was, "dress size".  And quite frankly the way sizes change from designer to designer... it's kinda hard to know!

Well well welll....

Despite all her accusations the answer was, "Lose money gambling"

We think it's much higher around here

WTF 16 times a dayWRAT

This WTF Question was easy.

The answer was:  The average person CURSES 16 times a day.  No way that can be true about us in New Jersey.   We're way higher than that!

Prying minds would like to know

From their partnerWRAT

Yep, they don't tell them at all.

The correct answer:  A traffic ticket.

Mommy!WRAT

Really, guys? LAME!

Unbelievable but true.  Guys sometimes go to their mom because they forgot their social security number...

When Carl is not working at the greatest rock radio station known to mankind; a station known around the globe; a station that has the best music, co-workers, advertisers and most importantly THE BEST F'N LISTENERS you may find me doing any one of the following: Riding or making mountain bike trails. playing with his kids. playing sand volleyball on 5th Ave, cooking amazing food, including on his sweet smoker grill, going to concerts, swimming in the ocean, going to amusement parks with his kids, and other stuff that rocks!
