Are you patient?

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.

Not since I escaped! mwueeheeeheee!

I'm not that patient. I'm too easily distracted.

more so with non-human fellow beings. just caught myself recently, pacing in my gp's waiting room - yeah, as a patient, haha!

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.

My poor wife is torn. Like you, she doesn't want to sit through a bunch of previews. Unlike you, she likes particular seats and doesn't want to arrive after they're taken.

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 most of th etime. I really get annoyed though when people make a habit of not being punctual.

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.

My mother said I wasn't. My wife says I'm not. My daughter says I'm not. So — probably not.

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.

The only place was impatient was in traffic, now I'm happy with "We'll get there when we get there." Maybe it is what happens when you are over 70.
