It can be. Normally long is an adjective (a long walk, a long time) but it can act as its own adverb form in uses such as "Have you waited long?" (i.e. for a long time) or idiomatic uses such as "all night long."
YES! I looked all over the place for the answer to this question myself, and nobody had a real answer, they all just said it was gross. And when in doubt, throw it out. Bogus. Well after not finding an answer I decided I should just test it myself. I had taken a hotpocket(steak and cheddar, original crust) out of the freezer and put it in my purse around 9am. It was consistently 68 to 70 degrees in my house until around 9pm, after that it was about 66. I found it the next morning around 10am. It's was completely thawed, but still cool to the touch. I opened the package and heated it up for 2 minutes 15 seconds(my little effort to kill the germs lol). Then I ate my snack and waited. Over three weeks have gone by and nothing happened to me. I didn't get sick or even have a stomach ache. I conclude that you can eat a hotpocket after 24 hours, when left at a room temperature below 70 degrees. If you get different results let me know, I could have just been lucky.

Waited
I found I had waited to no avail. As the patient feral cat waited for a passing mouse, he seemed frozen in place prior to his pounce. I waited and waited for for my waiter, but I just had to get out of my waders.
15,000 customers lined up here on opening day in 1994. The line at the drive thru was seven miles long.
Depends on how many customers to which you are referring. If there were one angry customer in front of me, I would say, "This customer's head looks as if it were about to explode." If there were an entire mob I would say, "These customers' emotions are running quite high as they feel they waited in line for nothing."
The past of wait is waited: I waited for the bus, I had waited for the bus for over an hour.
