In the given cue card, I'm asked to speak about a situation when I had to wait. Well, I have had to wait for a very long time throughout my life. Here, I would like to talk about a situation that happened recently when I had to wait a little longer. So, last week, I went to a passport office to apply for a passport. I had applied two weeks before and they told me to reach there right at 9 a.m. But I was late getting there. I arrived about 15 minutes late. So, I reached the passport office at 9:15 a.m., and they asked me why I was late. I couldn't say anything because it was my fault. They said I had to wait until the next 10 people came in and applied for theirs. I was so stressed. I had to wait around an hour just because I was 15 minutes late. They made me wait a little longer. I had to wait for an hour, and I was thinking, what is this behavior? I couldn't say anything because it was my fault. But I had to wait for an hour. So, I waited an hour, and then they let me in, and I filled out all of the information. I left there after 30 minutes.
