hurry up and wait

A phrase commonly found in the military. This phrase depicts the day-to-day grind of soldiers where they have to "hurry up" to point B only to have to wait hours for the event to occur. This phrase also applies to anything that requires you to be on time but does not start for a good while.
Example A: While at the Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS), we were told to arrive on time at 6 AM but in processing did not start until 9 AM. We practiced the "hurry up and wait" policy.

Example B: I did 80 just to get to the doctor's office on time, and he did not even show up for another hour. It was another case of hurry up and wait.

But wait, there's more!

The cliche phrase uttered during every infomercial that doubles and sometimes triples the amount of stuff you get if you buy the product. Because everyone needs 128 sticks of mighty putty!
Informercial: Call now for your new space saving vacuum bags. But wait, there's more! Call in the next 5 minutes and we will double your order. That is 2 sets of bags for the price of one! Call now.

Consumer: Wow! What a deal. I have to order those.

Go wait in the truck

The equivalent of a time-out. This phrase is used towards a person who is negatively impacting the event you are at. It is often directed towards drunk people. It can also be used to mean that the person who is assisting you in a task is utterly incompetent or useless.
Steve: "I'm gonna fuckin' fight that fucker! He fuckin' spilled beer on my elbow!"
Dave: "Steve, you're drunk. Why don't you just go wait in the truck."
