I believe that Waiting For is West of Hwy 400 in Ford, Kansas and Waiting on is East of Hwy 400 in Ford, Kansas.
https://www.google.com/maps/place/Fo...25f92410d629ca I believe it relates to the large tornado that went through the area some years ago. It first hit Ford, KS and then the residents of Greensburg, KS were Waiting On the arrival of the storm that destroyed most of the town. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Ford...37.6027963!3e0

Where I come from, Knoxville, Tn, it is possible to do both. A person waiting to meet someone is waiting for that other person. A person who is already with another person, but that second person has strayed into a side pursuit not involving the first person, leaving the first person to wait, is waiting on the second person.

I'm sorry, but clearly in the context -
If your schedule is delayed while another person needs to show up prior to moving on - you are "waiting for" someone; wherever you are. If someone is bringing you your coffee & scrambled eggs - they are waiting on you. Glad I could clear that up!

Dave has it right.
A wait FOR my wife to get ready so we can go to a restaurant to get waited ON. Bob's distinction is also correct 'round these here parts . . . or maybe it's just me.

Waiting FOR a woman means that one hasn't come along yet.
Waiting ON a woman is a sure sign that you've got one.
