Looking for examples of "fake clocks". Ones I have in mind: 1. Wait times in uber/lyft 2. Reading time estimates in Medium 3. Download countdowns or other sort of computer processing countdown Any others?

Yeah it makes sense - except maybe the risk that customers stop thinking the time estimate means anything.

Which is what actually happens. Myself I ignore it and guesstimate from map distance, or just accept it will take whatever

I did a traffic modelling project in Bangalore and looked at traffic times in Bangalore. When you hit the Google Maps API for time in traffic, it returns optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic times. The wait time was always significantly less than optimistic.

More than soothe frustration, there is also the sunk cost into already having waited 10 mins for a cab. What'll you do, restart the search? I've sometimes booked multiple cabs from different services and taken the first that arrives, but then you've to pay cancellation charges.
