Please tell me I'm not the only one who hates the famous wationo feeling! Yep, I'm currently in the mood for neologisms, but please don't forget my rulebreaker (: | ||

Do you wait for another person? Does somebody else wait for you? Do you wait for a call? For a message? For a letter? For any other kind of delivery? For the right time to do something? Is the time of day relevant? If so: Morning? Afternoon? Evening? Night? Do you wait for a certain day? For the weekend? For the start of the week? | ||

Are you the one waiting? or someone else? Is the hated feeling because of the waiting itself? or because you later find out that the waiting was unnecessary or in vain? | ||

HINT: Until this morning, I had been experiencing wationo for three days. The longer it lasts, the worse it is. | ||

Are you waiting for a certain event? For a certain kind of weather? For something provided by somebody else? For permission to do something? Other persons relevant? Item relevant? Electronic device relevant? Money relevant? Repair or construction relevant? Does wationo usually last for several days? Or is it different every time? Can you experience wationo just for a few seconds? Guessing: Is being on a trip and having the feeling of having forgotten something important at home relevant? So that you wish to be able to go home to make sure everything is okay? | ||

Are you waiting for a certain event? For a certain kind of weather? For something provided by somebody else? For permission to do something? all could be possible. Not really a satisfying answer, but there are several reasons why you could experience wationo, and they all involve waiting. Children, for example, are more likely to experience a kind of wationo that involves waiting for a permission. Other persons relevant? can be, but not necessarily Item relevant? yes! Electronic device relevant? not necessarily Money relevant? no Repair or construction relevant? no Does wationo usually last for several days? no Or is it different every time? yes, good q Can you experience wationo just for a few seconds? no, it usually takes somewhat longer before the wationo feeling sets in. Guessing: Is being on a trip and having the feeling of having forgotten something important at home relevant? So that you wish to be able to go home to make sure everything is okay? very good idea, but no. | ||

Are you waiting for an answer, in order to wationo? Is a person who wationos feeling a sense of anxiety? Is it waiting for a job? A friend coming? A holiday? The weekend? A trip? Some news? In the Western world: One can not wationo in the Middle East? North Africa? China? Japan? North Korea? | ||

Are you waiting for an answer, in order to wationo? no Is a person who wationos feeling a sense of anxiety? no Is it waiting for a job? no A friend coming? possibly A holiday? possibly The weekend? possibly A trip? possibly Some news? no In the Western world: One can not wationo in the Middle East? North Africa? China? Japan? North Korea? under specific circumstances, you could wationo there, but I think it's much more common in Europe, North America and other industrialised countries. | ||

HINTS: ° I could have avoided my latest wationo by spending about a dollar. ° I have been experiencing an abnormally long wationo for months now, and I know it'll end on Saturday. | ||

Would spending the dollar only avoid a wationo? Or can spending the dollar also stop an ongoing wationo? A guess: Batteries relevant? Waiting somewhere without music to distract you? (I know how this bugs me) | ||

Here's a RECAP - The famous wationo feeling involves waiting. You could be waiting for a permission to do something, for something to happen, for the weekend, for another person (there's a BLOOOPER somewhere, I said no to "waiting for someone" because I didn't think it through at the beginning), for a certain kind of weather... All in all, you're yopishly waiting for the right time to do something. Wationo lasts from minutes to months or even years. Sometimes, it's pretty easy to avoid a wationo. An item is relevant. | ||

"All in all, you're yopishly waiting for the right time to do something." Is that "something" related to ...work/school/college? ...something to do in your free time? ...a celebration? ...a chore? ...food? ...sports? ...traveling? ...music? Can you be waiting for several of the things listed in your recap at the same time for one wationo? Or is it usually just one of those? Is an item relevant for every wationo? Or can you experience wationo without the item involved? Do you experience the wationo because of the item? Or can the item stop/prevent a wationo? Was the dollar with with you could've avoided your latest waitono the relevant item in that case? Is the relevant item something that's in your possession? Something that you carry with you? Can any of these be relevant for a wationo? A cell phone? A piece of clothing? A pair of glasses? A driver's license? A passport? Stamps? Food? A hanky? Paper and pencil? A map? An animal? A roadsign? Can anyone experience wationo? Can toddlers experience it? Can school kids? Teenagers? (Adults obviously can :-)) The elderly? Blind persons? Deaf persons? Mute persons? Paralyzed persons? Males? (Females obviously can :-)) Do you need to be of a particular age to experience wationo? | ||

So wationo involves waiting for an activity/occurrence? and also involves a physical object of some kind? Is the occurence prevented from happening because you lack the object? or do you need the occurrence to occur first in order to obtain the object? or to be able to make proper use of the object? When the wationo occurs, do you already possess the relevant object? Have you already performed some relevant action with that object (obviously distinct from the thing you are waiting to see happen)? | ||

Updated RECAP (with new info in italics Here's a RECAP - The famous wationo feeling involves waiting. You could be waiting for a permission to do something, for something to happen, for the weekend, for another person (there's a BLOOOPER somewhere, I said no to "waiting for someone" because I didn't think it through at the beginning), for a certain kind of weather... All in all, you're yopishly waiting for the right time to do something. Wationo lasts from minutes to months or even years. Sometimes, it's pretty easy to avoid a wationo. An item is relevant. When wationo occurs, you already posses the item and you've performed a relevant action with it. Wationos can be experienced by everyone except for babies, and they might even be stronger in children. To prevent an FA you might have: neither "wa" nor any other part of the word stands for "wait". | ||

Making plans relevant? Preparing for a certain event relevant? When you do the relevant action with the item, are you already aware of the wationo that's about to come? Do you perform the action in order to experience wationo? Do you do the action in preparation of what you get after the wationo? Am I likely to have experienced wationo as well? | ||

Do you get the item specifically in order to do something? Is watino the feeling of looking at your [gift|bathing suit|new car|awesome cake] and knowing you're not able to use it because the conditions required are not met? YES exactly! ********SPOILER******** Have you ever bought winter shoes in summer? Then you've probably experienced wationo! wationo stands for "wanna try it out now" and describes the urge to try out a newly bought product and the annoying circumstances that prevent you from doing so. I posted this puzzle after I had bought new (pink strawberry scented) ink cartridges for my fountain pen, and I still had to wait till the one I was using was empty. Sorry for my absence, things are kinda busy at the moment, but a new puzzle is on its way. (: Nice work, folks! | ||
