I know I am a terrible estimator; it's definitely something I want to improve. For example, I thought this post would take me one minute to write and it ended up taking me five.

But in terms of things that don't take longer than expected, in my experience those tend to be situations where someone else stands to make money. I always dread movie lines, then the next thing I know I'm at the front.

The corollary is that getting a refund or exchange almost always takes longer than expected.
