EN: boring, tedious, causing impatience
The feeling of being stuck in EDSA traffic at 6 PM on a Friday. Or waiting for a series to buffer on a slow internet connection. It's that 'Are we there yet?' feeling, but for adults. Anything that makes you want to scroll through your phone out of sheer boredom is nakaiinip.
