Are you patient or inpatient?

How patient are you? Does it depend on the scenario?

Here are a couple of scenarios for examples. You don't have to respond to each, just a general statement would do.
-traffic
-busy restaurant, slow food
-having to wait for a table in a restaurant
-grocery store line
-waiting on people to get ready
-waiting for Christmas
-waiting on people you're meeting
-achieving a goal

You get the drift.

Let's see if my theory is correct or not. 🙂

Patient in all except Number 5 and 7. I find I am less patient when the situation involves individuals and not (as it were) situations or natural conditions.

-traffic
Patient. No need to rush anywhere.

-busy restaurant, slow food
Patient. If I'm not dead from hunger, I can wait a bit longer.

-having to wait for a table in a restaurant
Depends on the wait actually. If they say it'll be 1+ hour wait I'll just head elsewhere but usually if I knew a head of time I'd book ahead.

-grocery store line
Patient. That or I just choose a faster line.

-waiting on people to get ready
Patient. They can take their time. I'm in no rush. Well actually I lie. If it's not my gf I will most likely leave or let them know if they're not ready by this time then I'm goooone.

-waiting for Christmas
Christmas? Oh that's right! That thing that happens every year.

-waiting on people you're meeting
Patient. I'll amuse myself somehow if they are late.

-achieving a goal
Patient as fuck.

LOL @ self!

I spelled impatient wrong!

Yep, been working in healthcare for way too long.

Patience-LESS!! I still have none, which is ashame because I thought by now, at this age, I would have gained a little patience, but unfortunately, I haven't. Still a work in progress. And traffic, OMG..I don't even want to go there, and I mostly work from home...LOL. I have to go into the office once a month or twice if it's educational stuff, and I still complain and fly off the handle about other folks driving or lack of driving skills. I have road rage like no other, but I'm working on that too
🙂

Honestly As long as I can find something to do to occupy myself I can usually have patience with waiting on things to happen...

I have more patience then almost anyone I know when it comes to achieving a goal... I have to cause sometimes it takes me longer than others!
😛

I can have patience with rude people IF they are acting that way due to a legitimate concern or fault of my own...
HOWEVER
I usually can't stand that shit or extreme selfishness. Nope I got zero patience for that noise.
Stupid people who think their smart and try to make you look dumb are pretty high up there too ^.^

Sooooo impatient, only time I'm not is at some beach bar...on vacation... And even then 😄

-traffic: I really couldn't care. If I'm late I take a snap of the traffic and show it to my boss.

-busy restaurant, slow food: Depends. If all I ordered was a beer that takes like 2 minutes and if it takes 10 I'm leaving an awful review. If I ordered some huge lobster bucket I'm going to wait. If I have to wait behind some dude in a coffee drive-thru for over 5-10 minutes oh for fucks sake that's why I just park and go to the pedestrian window on the other side.

-having to wait for a table in a restaurant: If its packed, its packed. I'll wait!

-grocery store line: I'll wait. I'm grocery shopping, ain't got nowhere else to be!

-waiting on people to get ready: OMFG ZERO PATIENCE. If ME as a CHICK takes less time THAN A DUDE just.. OFJDSOKFSDJL NO.

-waiting for Christmas: I like halloween.

-waiting on people you're meeting: I *used* to have a ton of patience. Then my virgo ex came into my life and now I'm pretty much WHERE THE EFF ARE YOU ITS THE SCHEDULE MEETING TIME. Be early OR BE ON TIME! Hell, I'll just leave after 10 minutes unless they're super lost and in contact with me. I enjoyed the constant updates from a scorp. "In my car. Got home, gonna shower. Out of shower, leaving now. Got on the freeway. Barring traffic now. Traffic is easy. Just took the exit, on camelback. I'm here.. THIS PLACE ISN'T AN MSU BAR!! Oh wait it is. Last booth on the left!"-- thank you and thanks for texting while driving! (he sent me a "yolo!" ugh)

-achieving a goal: So much patience! Results are not instant!!

Sometimes I have more patience than the average person would in certain situations or with certain people. And then other times, I am completely 0% patient! lol

-traffic....DEF. IMPATIENT. I HATE IT!

-busy restaurant, slow food....DEF. PATIENT. I'VE SERVED BEFORE SO I UNDERSTAND THERE COULD BE 1,000 UNDERSTANDABLE REASONS WHY THE FOOD IS TAKING SO LONG

-having to wait for a table in a restaurant....PATIENT

-grocery store line....IMPATIENT LOL WHEN I'M READY TO GET HOME, I'M READY TO GO!!

-waiting on people to get ready...50/50 ON THIS ONE. DEPENDS ON WHERE WE'RE GOING.
-waiting for Christmas...PATIENT.
-waiting on people you're meeting...IMPATIENT.
-achieving a goal...PATIENT

I'm patient in traffic as I don't have a death wish nor wish to inflict death on other people.

I'm patient with busy restaurants but I have low threshold for slow workers if I'm waiting on my morning coffee and the barista is fucking around and talking to staff and just being casual it will piss me off lol.

Yeh I'm patient to wait for a table I suppose though id rather find a restaurant that is less crowded or at least make a reservation.

I'm patient in a grocery store line I let people in front of me if they have something less that my trolley or basket.

Waiting for people to get ready lol??_..Whenever I get in the car with friends and we go somewhere I'm always the first one out of the car and I'm usually already inside or at the door of the house that we're going to before my friends even get out the car door??_??_.I also feel anxious when I get into a car with my friend he takes so much time to leave he starts the engine, plays around putting shit into a bag putting his wallet into the console, gets himself a mentos buckles up and this whole time I'm watching the revision mirror because there is a car waiting to occupy our park and I just want to tell him to hurry the fuck up and get out and he's taking so long doing little tedious annoying things and then the car leaves and then he scoffs and says "if they had only waited a little while longer they would have had this park" on the inside I'm hacking his head off, I think I was feeling empathy for the driver.

I remember I could not sleep the night before christmas I even remember when I did fall asleep and thought to myself that I was growing up lol.

This sounds weird but I have a complex with meeting people on time, no one ever meets me on time and no one is ever where I want them to be, like theres some sort of off timing I have with people its like that movie sliding doors with gweneth paltrow. I have don't my time waiting on people and I make no apologies for waiting no longer than 5 minutes for someone. 7 if you're hot.

I have all the time in the world to achieve my long and short term goals lol
