Waiting for that one guy to pick a style from his phone gallery

I swear, he scrolled through pics for so long that I started trimming the air just to keep busy.

Just start cutting the air near their head. Did that once, guy finally looked up and said "you know what, surprise me." Real power move. Honestly, after two minutes I just set my timer. The silent buzz from my pocket is my cue to say "we gotta pick one." They're always paralyzed by choice.

In my experience, you gotta have a go-to move for this. I usually start scrolling through my own phone, like I'm checking a text or an email. Another thing is to just focus on your own stuff, maybe clean your glasses or fix your hair in a mirror. If it drags on, a light comment like "lots of options, huh?" can nudge them along. Your mileage may vary, but having a few distractions ready saves your sanity.

Doesn't scrolling your phone seem a bit rude? I'd rather just be patient and let them think.
