Are you patient?

no

yes. i frequently wait for an hour at the bus station.

I work with people with learning disabilities. For them, I have patience in bucketloads

Didn't realise chatting to anxious and facts was a career!

I'm generally patient BUT - if I get hypoglycemic I have the patience of a steroid addled crack addict needing a fix.

Today I hadn't eaten and almost commited manslaughter on my bin merely because something wouldn't fit in it and fell down the back, this isn't my normal behaviour!

We've still not made up. I'm using the bathroom bin tonight, we'll see if we can patch things up tommorow .

That's not patience that's repressed anger, which is what makes a forum member a forum member.

It's difficult to say whether you get more patient as you get older as the world has changed and is becoming much more focused on instant gratification. No more traipsing to the library for the information, going to blockbuster to get a video, having to fastforward or rewind a tape to get it to the song you like, finding a phonebox, or having to leave a message as someone is not home. No more having to wait 4 and a half minutes for your game to load on your Amstrad CPC464. 3 TV channels has become 300 channels.

If I want something, I want it now now now, I can't wait any longer than that these days. Oooh gotta go, the microwave has just pinged.

I don't think we should be patient with those who don't deserve it,IE,the red taped little bastards who place their little tiny laws above people.But,we all should try to be as absolutely patient as we possibly can be when we are dealing with those who deserve patience and those who are vulnerable.
