I always said patients wasn't something I was blessed with. But after having two kids and having to be patient with them I have learned to get over things like a long line at the store =) It doesn't bother me like it use to, I just look around and play with my kids instead of fumming over something I can't sontrol.

i dont think i am patient enough. sometimes i try to be patient but i get off the handle very soon. i have tried a lot to keep my self calm in testing times, but i dont know why i loose my cool.

I have to admit that I am not patient and never have been. Like some posters above, my tolerance levels for many things went up when I had my son, but I still cannot bear to stand in line or wait for someone to attend me in a store when I know they are only ignoring me because I am a foreigner. I do stand irritating people to a certain extent, but if it happens to frequently, I just figure that life is too short and get rid of them!
It is normal to have an outburst sometimes, especially if you aren´t frequently letting out the things that bother you, they just bottle up inside. So I wouldn´t worry about that if I were you! :)

I have enough patience to wait for things - I do fine with lines and stuff like that. I have a short fuse when it comes to people misbehaving. I will yell for the smallest things. I am trying to work at it but it is very hard. I am patient with kids though. From them I will have the greatest patience

Patience is definitely a virtue. I have always considered myself a very patient person, though lately my patience as has not been as strong as before. I do not have a problem with long lines as we have them everywhere here. I do have a tough time handling irritable or irate people. I find it difficult working with people who have horrible attitudes and who do not listen.

It really depends on my mood, if my patience will hold out or not. Some days I can handle the long lines and the pushy in rush sort of people, but there also days where I just can't tolerate them and get a bit annoyed with how slow things are moving or how incredibly rude someone is being.
