Our aim is to investigate the possible physical association between consecutive coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Through a statistical study of the main characteristics of 27761 CMEs observed by SOHO/LASCO during the past 20 years. We found the waiting time (WT) or time elapsed between two consecutive CMEs is $ 10 hrs, and it is more evident during the ascending and descending phases of the solar cycle. We suggest that this difference may be caused by a drag force acting over CMEs closely related in space and time.
