A brief, entirely ordinary wait has consistently produced a considerably more dramatic reaction than the delay warrants
A Brief Wait Producing a Dramatic Reaction
A Fourth Former’s genuine, consistent impatience while waiting for the dining hall doors to actually open, delivered with what housemates describe as “genuinely more visible frustration than a fairly brief, entirely ordinary wait probably warrants,” has become a source of considerable house amusement. The boy, entirely aware of his own reputation, insists that “genuinely, once lunch is that close, every additional minute properly matters, whatever anyone else thinks about how dramatic that sounds.”
A Pattern Observed With Genuinely Consistent Housemate Amusement
Several housemates reportedly find the boy’s mounting impatience “genuinely funnier every single time,” one noting “he’ll genuinely start checking the actual time with increasing frequency the closer we get to opening, regardless of how short the actual remaining wait is.” Despite the consistent pattern, the boy has shown no sign of actually developing more patience for the brief daily wait.
A Habit Housemates Have Come to Find Genuinely Entertaining
Rather than find the impatience genuinely tiresome, several housemates admit they’ve come to enjoy watching for it, one confessing he “genuinely times his own arrival specifically to witness the mounting frustration build.” The boy has taken this attention with good humour, insisting his impatience is “genuinely just proper enthusiasm for lunch, whatever anyone else calls it.”
A Reputation Now Firmly, Fondly Established

A Genuinely Endearing, Entirely Consistent Personal Habit
Whatever future lunches he waits for, several housemates say the impatience has become a genuinely fond feature of house life, one summing up the sentiment simply as “he’s never actually going to wait patiently, and honestly, watching the mounting frustration build every single day never gets old.” Several housemates have already suggested a countdown timer be installed purely to properly document his escalating impatience. The boy has agreed to this proposal with genuine, cheerful acceptance of his own predictable pattern. Several housemates say the countdown has become genuinely part of the daily house rhythm.
