Just for the heck of it...in a doctor's waiting room what magazine do you go for?

Do you choose the celebrity magazine, the for your home magazine, or the sports magazine? Just for the heck of it, what's your choice first?

 

I'd do the home/woman's info mag.

I always take my iPad now, so I don't look at the magazines anymore.  I usually work on some sort of puzzle to pass the time.

I'm one of those "dinosaurs" who still gets the newspaper delivered. So l bring it with me to read, and to do the sudoku and crossword puzzles to pass the time. This is the only way l don't lose my patience with an hour-long wait.

Oddly, I have experienced very little wait time at any appointments in the recent past, doctors, hair, car repairs, etc. I can't remember the last time I was annoyed by a long wait. If I do pick a mag up, it would be sports or medical.

For me it would be any mag w/recipes. Second choice would be Celebrity.

I'm one of those "germophobes" so I don't like to touch magazines that have sat in a doc's office where people sneeze & cough on them. I usually bring a book or puzzle book to work on.

Hmmm....I never thought about that, good point!

 

I think I'll start taking my own mag from now on!

 Here is an interesting tid bit of info....

 I read that the magazines in waiting rooms are COVERED IN BACTERIA MOSTLY E COLI.

I can see that  as so many people pick them up with dirty hands.... just something to remember when you are in the waiting room and tempted to read a magazine.
