I've been told I'm very patient by most people. Except my husband who often says I'm impatient. This really only applies to one thing that I can think of, though. That is waiting. I don't like it.
I don't like being early for things. (Of course certain things like work requires it, but leisurely things).
For instance, I purposely arrive late to movies, because I don't want to watch 20 minutes of previews. Not super late, but I get there at about the showtime.
Are you by chance an INFJ type? I am, and check yes to your whole list. Especially the movies. My son laughs. My timing is almost perfect every show.
@silvereyes similar in ways. Makes sense.
I arrive right @ designated time in fact in fact when I did not arrive at exactly 6:30 for a poker game my friends called my wife to see if there was a problem which set in motion a series of events that wasn't very nice. They called the hospitals and the police just as I arrived 30 minutes late due to a car accident that held up everyone on the highway. My phone had died so no one could get in touch with me. I immediately called my wife who was very upset.
Second time was when I was on a two week hike and artrived 2 hours late for pick up. All went well however.
I'm pretty impatient a lot of the time.
However, I'm also chronically late for things no matter what I do. When I do manage to leave the house quickly enough, I'm the person who ends up hitting every red light or gets lost. Plot my course to avoid getting lost? Google leads me a merry chase all over town to end up in the wrong location. Start early? There's a wreck on I-5. Start even earlier? Arrive on time, traipse all over the building, unable to find the room I'm looking for, end up late anyway. I've managed to be on time for appointments about nine times out of ten, but social things is where it falls down. But if people want to drop me because of it, it's their loss.
I have heard that late people think more about themselves than they ought to, do you agree?
@Boudica Depends on whether 'think more about themselves than they ought to' refers to narcissism (for which one has to have a high opinion of oneself so lolnope) or being self-conscious (which I am, far too much).
Extremely patient. Except on the rare occasion when I'm not. Hit one of my triggers and I will snap. I don't like to be manipulated.
I've been a patient. I've known some patients. I have no patients. They are very expensive to keep.
LOL!
Not since I escaped! mwueeheeeheee!
I'm not that patient. I'm too easily distracted.
I am patient, except when dealing with idiot drivers or technology. I will pitch a fit if my cell phone or computer acts up....and I think people driving slow in the fast lane should be executed
Maybe just kicked in the balls.
You are okay. Dont see anything wrong and spouses opinion is often not factual.
No..I'm not patient. I'm told by my wife that I'm not normal too. I bring back the whopper if it don't look like the picture on the wall... that makes my wife mad. I tell kroger's that my pieces of chicken are to small and to change them out. My wife walks away from me. I want what's on the picture or I'm going to get a little louder. Just give me what I'm paying for and I want make a scene...lol.
I think I'm patient but I get pissed off at things that just don't seem normal to me. Today I was getting an oil change and they lost my keys. How ignorant. That's something right out of a movie.
Then I'm getting chicken tenders and wedge fries and the woman gives me a tiny bit of fries. Very small ones. I called her on it and told her I wanted the big ones. She says they won't fit the plate. That was when I told her they were there to be sold so she must have to remove the lid for the big fries to fit, huh? How stupid. I got my fries.
The funny thing is that I just talk in a normal voice but these strange things happen to me all the time. Often people act confused and seem like they are just going to cry. I don't get it.
It doesn't pay to be inpatient.. you only upset yourself and make yourself look foolish to be inpatient in this world.. I look at situtation where I must wait as "lessons in patience" and observe my surrounds or think of a poem in my mind.. However.. after a long period of paitence with some people.. I reach a saturation level then, I am DONE!
I am patient. I am so patient that some even named it "legendary" haha. No matter the situation, it takes a lot for me to get impatient. Like staying on wiat on the phone for 30 minutes waiting for the person to get back to me. Wait 3 days for an answer that I needed last year. But of course, if I am dong something important and that it cannot wait, I will be less incline to let my legendary patience have the best of me.
Exceedingly. I can't not think, "What if that were me? How would I want others to regard and treat me if the shoe were on the other foot?". It's automatic.
But I'm very regimented about it. Shit on me once, that one's for free; we all make mistakes. Shit on me twice, words will be had: clear, simple, and direct. Shit on me thrice, you're history.
I consider myself very patient but unfortunately, sometimes my patience gets abused and I can feel I am being taken advantage of. When that happens I feel backed into a corner and a need to be assertive. (assertive not agressive).
I am usually early and will bring something to entertain myself. When taking a ferry I am often very early, depending on the ferry and the particular quota (since there are several islands the ferry system can take some getting used to). At those times I will read, take a snooze or go for a hike on special trails located at both terminals. For the ferry it pays to be organized.
As an sculptor, many people tell me, I have the patient, of job.
In reality, I have little patient for things I don't like to do. Building with sand and snow sculptures I love in the moment. Building with wood or harder stone materials requires more patients.
