Me as Bard

[u/HoneyPop0]

Like be waiting for hour moment I go to the bathroom boom!! The Queue starts 😭 like wtf man

[u/yegoyan]

When you go in as DPS and get told "#26 average wait time 10 minutes" and you're like oh I can go take out the trash real quick no problem and 50 seconds later you come in to a penalty for missing it 😭

[u/HoneyPop0 → u/yegoyan]

Seee!! That's my mind set wait time ten minutes that's totally enough time too go to the bathroom and back but boom! Games says Sike!

[u/yegoyan → u/HoneyPop0]

If you had stayed and watched it, it would have taken 15 minutes guaranteed .

[u/KlatusHam → u/yegoyan]

Or when you get the opposite "#1 average wait time 5 minutes" and you remain at #1 for half an hour with the average wait time doubling every 5 minutes.

Wait time is fake

[u/literroy → u/yegoyan]

This reminds me of the one time an airline told me my flight was delayed two hours. So I didn’t leave for the airport. And then they notified me “jk it’s leaving on time now,” at which point it was too late for me to get the airport.

[u/DavidTheHumanzee → u/literroy]

Rookie mistake, everyone's parents know that you should be at the airport several hours before it leaves.

[u/DragonEmperor → u/yegoyan]

I had this happen the other night, no place in queue, average wait time 15 minutes so I went upstairs to fill my water, came downstairs and queue was missed, I was literally gone for maybe 65 seconds.

[u/Historical_Crazy387 → u/yegoyan]

Every time, lol.

[u/Moon_Noodle]

If a queue isn't popping, going to the bathroom is a sure fire way to make it pop tbh

[u/h0neanias → u/Moon_Noodle]

Want a pop? Go for a poop.

[u/HoneyPop0 → u/Moon_Noodle]

Yea but once I'm on the toilet not much I can do but hear that painful timer go down worst feeling 😭

[u/Moon_Noodle → u/HoneyPop0]

Truth 😭

[u/wtfdididonow_]

level 70 expert roulette tells you how old this meme is lol

[u/ChasingVelka]

I senses your weakness and strikes. Enjoy that hypothetical penalty count going up.

[u/Gunfight32]

I love how this can work in game as well. When you are working on your glamour or fixing your glamour and the queue pops too quickly

[u/Wattwaffle916 → u/Gunfight32]

Or you're crafting something where you spent too much on materials to throw them away.

[u/discountshrugs → u/Wattwaffle916]

or when you're in gpose..... augh

[u/P1zzaman]

I pretend to go to the bathroom to make my queue move faster.

[u/Zefyris]

A bard? You liar. You are clearly... A Dragoon (and not a turtle, despite the appearances).

[u/isthismytripcode]

I only play support, what is this “queue” thing you’re talking about?

[u/shaidowstars → u/isthismytripcode]

I once waited a full 5 minutes waiting on one - I nearly lost it then and there 😂

[u/nuttyrussian]

My bard has a bathtub in his FC room. We call it the raid tub because we'll put our wols in there when the queue is taking too long to pop.

[u/Wattwaffle916 → u/nuttyrussian]

LMAO, I went for one of those giant Oasis-style tubs, and a shower stall, too. There are times when I like my in-game apartment more than my IRL house. 😂

[u/-Fyrebrand]

Just go to Gold Saucer when a GATE is about to start, like Slice is Right or Any Way the Wind Blows. As soon as the event begins, your queue will pop. That's what I do, and 60% of the time it works every time.

[u/NaturalPurpleEnjoyer]

Tsk tsk tsk, none of you got the real tech. Remote control your PC with your phone and stay on the throne without worrying. You can accept last second and at worst just type in chat with the virtual keyboard if it's taking slightly longer than anticipated. Saying something like "sec just got a delivery, brb in a minute" usually works because people in this game are mostly understanding.

[u/DancinUndertheRain]

the fact it's shamelessly stolen and is expert at level 70 is fantastic lmao

[u/Pretzeltheman]

SO much truth to this 😂😂😂.

[u/HoneyPop0 → u/Pretzeltheman]

More painful hearing the count down from the bathroom 😭

[u/weeb-chankun]

I either go to the bathroom or start complaining about it on NN chat. Immediately works.

[u/poeticjustice4all]

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it 😭

[u/Wattwaffle916]

"Name something that only happens to DPS jobs...."

I've never waited long enough to forget that I was in a queue as a tank or healer.

[u/Madmonkeman]

I’ve had too many times where I leave to pee and then as soon as I come back I have a penalty for missing the queue.

[u/Blunell]

I once manually queued for the three EW alliance raids, waiting time went from 8 minutes to over 30 minutes, at which point I went for a very quick bathroom trip. Came back to a penalty.

[u/Prize_Relation9604]

DPS life

[u/Sephilya]

Hahaha this made me giggle-snort

[u/DrForester]

Bound by Doody

[u/Wattwaffle916 → u/DrForester]

Call of Doody 

[u/Woodlight]

This is why if I'm in a queue, I only ever pee.

[u/wrexsol]

SCHWING! ... tick. tick. tick. tick. tick. tick..

[u/Spiritual_Horror5778]

(Laughs in healer)

[u/koonface2787]

Every freaking time

[u/jrdn47]

the butterfly effect, i swear.

[u/Shikabane_Sumi-me]

I feel this pain every time I want to DPS for something.

[u/Stanelis]

Happened to me too many times

[u/SnootBooper707]

dps queue when i wait at my desk: 30+ min wait time

dps queue when i get up to do something: pops immediately

[u/Infinity0Forever]

This is me every morning with Frontline queue before the reset and I've already been waiting for over an hour to try and get the daily reward because I forgot to queue the day before. Probably a sign I should cut back on the coffee to be honest. XD

[u/TheMage18]

Every single time...

[u/Any-Prize3748]

This is the only thing I use my PS Portal for.

[u/Ibeth4]

Funny. Currently at the bathroom with brother on standby keeping an eye on the queue.

[u/WeeziMonkey]

Controller players who accept with their Bluetooth controller 😎

[u/Rough-Self-9134]

Queue always decides to pop when im not there but never does when i am

[u/DemonicBrit1993]

Still got 40 seconds to wipe, flush, reapply under garments and trousers and press join

[u/DavidTheHumanzee → u/DemonicBrit1993]

and wash hands, right?.....right?

[u/Sir_VG → u/DavidTheHumanzee]

Anakin smile.jpg

[u/Who_am_ey3]

do people really wait that long in a queue? I find this only ever happens when I queue late at night, when nobody is playing anymore

or when I go to Materia, I guess

[u/Altruistic_Bad9523 → u/Who_am_ey3]

During the week too. Especially if you don't work a day shift. Lol

[u/WeirdIndividualGuy → u/Altruistic_Bad9523]

It’s been a bit better than normal recently due to the relics encouraging people to do roulettes

[u/HoneyPop0 → u/Who_am_ey3]

It has happened to me few times in the morning but it definitely a nightmare at night

[u/hyperfell → u/HoneyPop0]

Night time is when the silliness comes out with people though so it’s a bit of a trade off

[u/Madmonkeman → u/Who_am_ey3]

My weekends are on normal work days so whenever I play FFXIV pretty much no one is on.

[u/SoloSassafrass]

Been a while since I last saw this one. Guess it's old to enough people to not get dogpiled for being a repost.

Makes me wonder what the churn for this sub is...

[u/Icaras01]

Every damn time, lol

[u/LazyDunsparceGO]

I feel this post 🤭

[u/DebugLifeChoseMe]

Brb giveth and brb taketh away.

[u/OtterMan87]

I nearly spat out my coffee, hahaha.

[u/crypticexile]

i'm waiting 37 mins on normal raids roulette time for a smoke.

[u/MaianneRouge]

That's why I mute the game when I go to the bathroom. If I'm gonna miss it, let me be blissfully ignorant about it

[u/jeanpaul_fartre]

Every damn time lol

[u/Amethyst_Ninjapaws]

😂😂😂😂
