Hello once again my friends, I am just curious to know how will you hold your time waiting. Yes, as for me, I think I can wait a little bit longer from what we've been arranged (time) provided that the concern party would really come. As what I observe there were lots of people that has no patience in waiting. Are you one of them? Let's talk about your stand on this.... Thanks. Mobhomeir...

Hi Mobhomier, Before, "WAITING" is one of the words and actions that i hate so much. But this time i was able to manage such feeling. Waiting is part of life and there will always be time that you need to "wait". So instead of stressing myself out while waiting, i do productive things like crocheting, listening to music, reading magazines, humming a song, and taking a nap. Stress-free, relaxing and productive right?

i agree with you. it depends upon the situation. if you have another schedule next to the recent one-- coming over for the scheduled time is a must. But again an allowance time must be taken into consideration. Thanks for respecting my views.

Frankly speaking, I hate waiting. This would be the worst thing I would ever like to do in my life be it anyone or anything. However, I will agree that I have a lot of patience in waiting. Infact, I should not be boasting, but I do bhave some patience to bear things happening around. If obliged, I can wait. For example, Right now, while I am posting a response over here, I amw aiting for a call from one of my friends whom I have to meet in another half an hour. Perhaps, that gives me some good reason to be here. But as i said, waiting would be the last thing I would do on this earth

Hi mobhomeir, Yes, I am one of them, if somebody promised to come for a particular time then didn't turn in I may get very angry. I don’t have patience, what to do. But when the person comes I may ask that what happened, how long I am waiting etc etc.. and may try my best to relax and not to show my anger. Otherwise I may make call in between and find out what is wrong with them.

I'm actually pretty patient as long as I haven't cut myself short on time. I try to always allow plenty of time between here and there when I go shopping. I never expect to get in and out of the doctors office either. I think if we prepare ourselves..we can control our patience a little more.

I have always been a patient waiter. Even as a child I had more patience than most grown ups I knew. It's just the way I am I guess.

Hello zoetao, you're right in your statement. But for me it depends on the situation. Like, I can extend waiting as long as there would be no other time after that time scheduled...thanks for responding...and welcome anyway to mylot...hope to read more your topics...

Hello winterose, I understand you have more patience now compared before I don't know the reason why but maybe because of some experience in your past waiting-moments. Well, I am just guessing. Thanks anyway for responding...God BLess...

As long as I don't have to be anywhere in particular at a set time, i am usually pretty patient. Every once in a while, though, when I am waiting in a line and I see other lines moving way faster, I will find myself getting a bit anxious. It's at this time that I have to remind myself that I really don't have to be anywhere and just to relax. If I am waiting for someone, as long as I have an approximate time, or they let me know that they are running behind, or on their way, I don't lose my patience.

hi!!! good morning! when it comes to me I can wait for someone for a longer period.what makes me get irritated is that when that someone already with me and he/she's doing something(make-up or chatting) that we cant go to what ever we are about to do ... this is specially when I'm or where are meeting someone because I dont want to be late. I always see to it that I;m always on time,,, but I do admit that there are times that I also get late for a valid reason... I rather prefer to wait than be late... thats all ... thanks.... have a nice day!!!

I am usually on time but I have to wait for my friends who are always late. Of course not all of them, but most. I am used to having to wait for someone, so I guess I have a lot of patience. If I get ready or whatever a little late, figuring whoever I am meeting will be late, they are on time.

No not me! I am the most impatient person I know. My mind is always racing, and I like to multi-task. I don't like sitting around. It doesn't mean I like doing something productive, I just don't like waiting. Even here at work, I have a small seconds-counter at the corner of my desktop, that counts down the time I could get off work.

Hi. I would say it's a case to case basis. I could certainly wait for my doctors and family members even longer than an hour or two. But with friends and subordinates, I don't think I'll have that much patience...unless of course, they have valid reasons for being late. I seldom get late on my appointments. I always come at least five to ten minutes ahead of the scheduled time. That is how I respect the time of other people. Most of the time, it's inevitable to wait for other people. I always bring a book or a magazine just to kill some waiting time.
