Dude, I feel you. Wait in webdriver is like a fickle cat—works when it wants to.
I swear by explicit waits, but for *really* slow elements, I’ll sometimes add a *tiny* Thread.sleep (gasp, I know). Just as a last resort.
Also, Selenium IDE (the new one) has cool wait commands built in. Great for prototyping before coding.
Random timeouts? Check your network latency. I’ve been burned by VPNs slowing things down.
