When one pays a visit it is for the purpose of wasting other people's time, not one's own.

Lord Goring, Act IVOscar Wilde
There is no more time-wasting process than that of believing people will act, and then finding that they will not.
Bill Mollison
The power of fantasy is so strong that people think they are having a good time when they are merely wasting money.
Vernon Howard
[Chess] is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever, when they are only wasting their time.
George Bernard Shaw
Paul here is unhappy because unhappiness is second nature to him but more particularly because he has not the faintest idea of how to bring about his heart's desire. And I am unhappy because nothing is happening. Four people in four corners, moping, like tramps in Beckett, and myself in the middle, wasting time, being wasted by time.
J. M. Coetzee
If swindling pays, then it will not stop. The definition of the good society is one in which virtue pays. I can now add a slight variation on this; you cannot have a good society unless virtue pays. But here we get very close to the whole subject of metaneeds, and also of the ideal conditions where dichotomies are resolved and transcended.
