Expecting

From Twitter:

I wasn’t _____ rain. That’s why I don’t ave an umbrella!

a. ‘Waiting for’ is not the answer, because only farmers and poets wait for rain.
b. ‘Waiting on’ is not it, because we wait on friends and it means wait for.
c. ‘expecting’ is the answer, because it means ‘thinking would come/be/”waiting for” (sort of).
d. ‘Expect’ is not right, because it doesn’t fit the grammar; we need the continuous tense.
