Do you have the patience to wait for something or someone?  

Yup, you are right. I have waited on my girlfriend a lot of times. And she has waited for me. But, for gadget wise or object wise it gives me anxiety. But, I try to put it in my brain that I am waiting for something new. But, as like all other waiting situations, it seems to be harder and harder each day.

I also feel that way specially if I care for the person, but given they send me a sms and inform me that they will be late. But, if without any SMS being sent, I tend to get all pissed. I sort of get so pissed sometimes, specially if I called or SMSed the person before hand that I am on my way.

I am currently in a situation when, I really want to buy this gadget, and its cheap due to the rebates and such. But in the back of my mind, I know after 1 month to 3 months this gadget will be replaced. But, I will be left without that gadget and be bored as hell for 3 months. And not to mention thats only announcement time and I will have to wait for 1-2 months more for shipping to commence. Errrr Waiting is so tiring as of now.

Yup, I know patience is a virtue and it is one of the most important virtues to practice. But everyone has limits. I hope I can be patient enough to wait for months though. I am not that good at long term waiting sad to say.

Yup, I have tried that as well. I waited for like 2 months to get my car fixed. It had a problem with the mechanism that turns both tires to the left which makes it harder. So, the entire assembly had to be changed and more. Plus, parts had to be ordered from other places. I had to wait and take the public transportation for 2months carrying huge books. And after two months, I called, It was not done yet!! errrrrrr So, I had to wait for another week. Luckily, I got the car back. Then, something was wrong again, the plugs were not checked. So, I had to have it fixed again. It took a day because it was a busy day for them. So, I had to wait another day AGAIN!

Well, I am weighing the odds still for waiting for a new gadget to be released. But for people, I was brought up to be on time. Sometimes I can tolerate people being late. But in this country where I am in, most people are 1 hour late and it seems to be so annoying

Well, I know waiting is always part of life. But, when do you think waiting and being patient has to end? Because sometimes or most of the time people where I am from abuse patience. One example of this is, fast food joints here, I really thought it was fast food. It took the cashier to get things done after 20mins. And all she did was go in circles. Now, that my friend is a waste of patience. This happend to me multiple times.

i believe there is an alloted time to serve customers in line in a fast food chain. am not pretty sure how long. as for waiting for the food while sitting down to be served i believe 15 minutes is the recommended time of waiting. but as with other cases, i love to read anything and everything. you can look it up the net to find out how long it is alright to wait in different circumstances .

When I was in the U.S and other countries like Singapore, and Hongkong it did not take 15minutes. It was quiker, employees in a fastfood restaurant had a system. Unlike, here where I am from most of them do things in circles. And tend to forget to punch an order most of the time. Just like today, I ordered a sandwich, and coleslaw.. The cashier forgot about it completely, she even said, something about if i had anything I wanted. When I asked, where is my coleslaw she said ow sorry I forgot to punch it in. WTF is that?

that's why it is hard to be exposed to a better system. we end up hating those who are ignorant about it or those who choose not to do it. in the long run we end up hating our very own. i think this is why overseas workers didn't vote. why waste time in a government that never changes and unconsciously forced them to leave their loved ones only to provide them with food? they'd just continue working abroad rather than vote. they found a better system of government in another country. yes? somehow this in the same level we're going, i think. and this is how i think. peace no offense to those who have patience in taking in things par below the correct sytem.

Well, yeah. A government that does not help its self will never change. And in fact, the people here never change or never get the point. They seem to go with the trend

That is perfectly reasonable. Waiting can be such a pain from time to time. And people should in fact be on time when they have appointments.

Yup you are right. I think patience has it limits. People have limits and we can never blame them when they reach that limit. Thank you for your response. Really appreciated. Happy Mylotting!

hahahah you my friend is one of a kind having a lot of patience is very admirable. But, yeah if the wait is worth it then it is. Thank you for responding! Happy mylotting!
