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.

Had one pop after I had gotten done eating super spicy food and the food just burnt through me. I was sitting there for like 20 minutes fine then when it hit me the queue popped after a total of like 40 minutes in queue.

Honestly, I've gotten to the point where I won't do anything in-game while waiting on a queue. I'll just enable the 'play sounds when window inactive' setting and browse websites while I wait.
Does tend to pop in the middle of writing up forum posts though...

The queue times are really getting to be annoying enough that I'm tempted to walk away though. Had a holiday yesterday and only got half as much as I expected done. :-/

Queue up on DRG "Right this should take 10 mins at least, I'll make a drink" come back with a nice coffee to see "Your participation could not be confirmed" /sadface.

Bathroom break is forever the bane of the DD Queues

I would do fates, and in the middle of them, BOOM, DF. Go on them, never get my exp back from the fate I did... :(

queues for dungeon as DD.

waits and waits.

switches to DoL.

realize I have enough philo stones for a 2 star craft

begins to craft astral ring

DF pops.
