'I have waited' vs 'I have been waiting'
I can't understand the difference between these two:
A) I have waited for you for two hours.
B) I have been waiting for you for two hours.

"I have been waitING" with the ing means that you are doing it right now.
"I have waited" means that you have already done it. Either right now or last week or a year ago.
So you have waited two hours but you can still be waiting.

If you use the time period of a process like " for two hours", you should use "have been doing"
