Waiting for Godot

When one is waiting for Godot, they are waiting for something. This something will never happen and this someone will never show up. Normally this person is hopeful and certain that this something will indeed happen and this someone will indeed show up, yet they are wrong.
This phrase comes from the play of the same title written by Samuel Beckett.

ESTARGON: Let's go.
VLADIMIR: We can't.
ESTRAGON: Why not?
VLADIMIR: We're waiting for Godot.

facebook wait

The invariably brief/lengthy gap in time between posting a status on Facebook and receiving your first 'like' or comment. Due to the crushing pressures of Facebook social politics, the wait can be an unnerving, soul-destroying experience, with unliked statuses often driving the user into near-manic depressive states.

Guy: You okay man? You're shaking real bad.
Guy 2: Fucking facebook wait, man, I posted that quote a half hour ago and still nobody's commented. Can't fucking concentrate until I at least get 1 like.
