False Advertising in Life After 60

About the only thing that is true of some signs, is they are false Advertising. Okay, I am a male and we all know what that means. I want what I want and I want it now, no waiting, and I want it my way.
I went to get a hair cut but instead of going to the usual place I tried out SuperCuts. Why? The sign in the window said, “No Waiting” in red neon. I took that to mean just that, no waiting. I foolishly thought I would walk in and be served immediately. But just as I walked toward the door another customer beat me to the desk. Still, the sign says, no waiting. They are surely fully staffed on a Friday afternoon.
25 minutes later I am finally called to the chair. The sign said “No Waiting!!!!” Why did I have to wait? Don’t they have a stylist on standby just waiting to fulfill the promise of “No Waiting?” Maybe their definition of “No Waiting” is not the same as mine?
But then I know men and women speak a different language and me being a Computer Tech only adds to the fun. “My computer isn’t working? You mean it won’t take out the trash or pay attention to you? Yes, I take things to the extreme but if the sign says “No Waiting” I don’t expect to wait. Am I wrong? The phone lines are open. What is your pet peeve?
