What does 'waste your time' mean to you DenverBrian?

Surfing the internet to compare OTAs only to find that they all offer you the same price is not 'wasting your time'? Or using your 'go to' OTA site without checking anywhere else and as a result not getting the best offer is not 'wasting your time'?

Or do you mean that if it takes 2 minutes to book online vs. 5 minutes to book by phone, that using 3 more minutes is 'wasting your time'?

What's 'quaint' DenverBrian is how someone could have such a simplistic view of what 'wasting time' means. If you pay $4400 to stay in a hotel using your method and I pay $1500 using my method, who wasted their time?
