Worste timings for Duty to pop

Well I'm not complaining or whining.
I am just laughing at how often this seems to happen to me.

On dps, you wait for a looong time for your duty, so you do other things.
Without fail, as soon as you get into a CS that you want to watch, it will pop.
I was watching the new year's CS when mine popped, I tried to read faster to no avail.

Anyways, just seeing if anyone else seems as unlucky with duty pop's as me.

And Happy New Year's!

EDIT TO ADD- While I was writing this, my duty popped......

Haha mine popped during the last CS as well. The odd thing is that I usually wait 20 to 30 minutes for a party as DPS, so I figured I had time to watch the scene. My party popped at 5 minutes. It was bittersweet.

Early on I was on a rented choco that cut through an area that had mobs much higher level than me. I think it was the area outside AK.

Got a DF invite. Did the run. Popped back out with no choco and died in 2 seconds from aggro.

Was in DF as a DPS for 40 mins, went to the bathroom, it had popped and gone when I returned...

This! And my useless GF, who I told to hit X if it popped was too busy painting her nails... :(

Sometimes I get carried away doing Leves/Fates while waiting on DF, and it pops up right as I start a Leve making me waste an allowance. :(

Mine always pops when I'm in the middle of a leve -_-

Queued up as drg, "I guess I'll go to the bathroom real quick" since I can hear it from there if it pops. The second I get up, it pops >.> "Or not..." lol

What's worse is when you were just about to do something and it pops, then someone withdraws, then it pops, withdraws -.- then it does it a few more times, then it just sits in que again...for 25 mins, but you didn't do what you had to because it might have popped again.

I know I can register as DPS and wait till forever....OR I switch the job to DOL and can be sure that a minute later, the quest pops up as soon as my GP are close to be able to use a HQ spell. In the 90ties smoking a cigarette in a restaurant was taking care that you will receive your meal before you can end your cigarette, no matter how long you waited before. I guess this is the 2013 mechanics to make up for it since you can't smoke anymore in restaurants. :P

Gathering levequest while waiting for que. 39/40 items gathered and que pops and I cant gather one more item and am forced to abondon leve or wait another 40 minutes as DD.
