You know that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet? This is the word for it.
That seems appropriate to this thread.
Also, pedant:
L’esprit de l’escalier (French)
Literally, stairwell wit—a too-late retort thought of only after departure.
Literal translations tend to be more literal than that, and this flies in the face of the spirit of the article since the English version (stairwell wit) is actually more compact. Even more so when you consider that afterwit is an actual word that exists and has the same meaning.

Boing Boing Executive Board Room
Cory and Mark sit at chairs furthest from door laughing at a chart detailing Boing Boing store profit margins
Rob: You sent for me?
Cory: Come in Rob! Have a seat.
Mark: Rob, why we asked you to come in today…well…
Cory: What Mark’s trying to say, Rob, is that our readers are not happy.
Mark: OPEN THE FUCKING SAFE ALREADY! OPEN THE GOD DAMN SAFE!
Cory: Mark! Mark! Mark! Time out! Time out!
Cory hands Mark his Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher which soothes him
Cory: Rob, please get the safe open. I don’t care how. Just make it happen.
Rob: Yes sir. Right away sir.

I really have a hard time imagining that obsequiousness is part of Rob’s vocabulary.
