Patience

Patience is a virtue...one which I find hard to hold onto. Ironically I lose my patience with people who are impatient! Ha- Those people standing in line tapping their foot- when it takes a whole 5 minutes for you to check out at the self checkout, or the rude driver that cuts in front of you when they could have waited after you drove by- when there is no one behind you... On the flip side I am the one cursing (impatiently) when drivers block an entry/exit instead of leaving a gap for me to get out, I am also the one being kind enough for you to walk from the grocery to your car, yet tapping my foot because you are walking entirely to slow...then again a little evil part of me wants to run over those people that walk out right in front of you and don't even look- DUH a car is bigger than you!  I think one day I should write down when I am being impatient..out of curiosity of what I really don't have the patience for...And have you ever noticed your patience threshold varies on whom are with or whom are dealing with? I tend to force myself to be patient with customers, while losing patience with my family- I would argue that you assume your loved one know better, but the drivers I get impatient with are not my loved ones, so maybe it's really a matter of manners..you can be rude in your car..no one can hear you..lol- I think that is it..you can (although you shouldn't) be rude to your family, but you can not be rude to the people helping pay you and you can be rude to those that can't hear you...maybe manners is the virtue...not Patience...
