Im so glad you revived this thread! I saw the title and thought "DD crying for no apparent reason - I neeeeed to be able to fix whatever is bothering her and make it stop!" then I saw that the thread was 5 months old and wondered what I had said 5 months ago.....</p> <p>"Not being completely in control". Well, there you have it. That's my problem! </p> <p>Why can't I control my 5 week old????

But yesterday, I was thanking my lucky stars that so many of the people who didn't want to be there were sleeping/doing other homework/reading/playing games on their phones silently. I'm a TA, so we get to police the back of the room. Yesterday, I had three rows of 18 year olds drawing giant penises and throwing them between each other, and one more who came drunk. It was all I could do not to lose. my. religion. If it wouldn't have been such a disruption to the lecturer, I would have thrown about 10 of them out.</p> <p>Today, it's funny. Yesterday, I wanted to kill someone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656885 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 08:59:35 +0000 pui 656885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clients who act like my job should take 10 minutes and should cost less than $100.

They stomp on the gas and cut in front of everyone. Omg it makes me nearly homicidal, especially when they cut in front of me really quickly, nearly taking off my front bumper, and then slam on their brakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656615 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 06:46:56 +0000 lomom 656615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I hate the line thing too.

I had to start sitting in the front row of all my classes because that made me so rage-y.</p> <p>@StbHisMrs: I stopped going to the movies because I can't stand the sound of people eating popcorn and making slurping noises with their giant sodas. And the sound of the crinkling bag. And if someone sneaks in an extra crunchy snack like potato chips....RAGE. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656588 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 05:41:36 +0000 ladyfingers 656588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>General stupidity. A lack of awareness of the presence of other people (ignorant grocery aisle dawdlers, wayward mall walkers who don't understand the concept of lanes when walking in crowded spaces, drivers who pull into the first gas pump, blocking access to the farthest one unless you back in). People who don't use their blinkers. Insurance companies. When my husband keeps doing something I've asked him not to (putting dishes on the counter after they're washed rather than in their proper place, leaving things out rather than returning them to the place he originally found them, perching glass bottles of condiments on top of other jars in the fridge rather than securely in the door cubby, leaving our infant Unswaddled when he puts him down for naps). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656585 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 05:27:49 +0000 MrsSCB 656585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMagpie: Seriously, I just got to work and there's this one middle-aged guy that plays the same game on his phone EVERY. DAY. with the sound on full blast! It's starting to drive me nuts. I really have to get on a different car but there's always a seat on his. What a conundrum... haha. Also the men I see never get up for pregnant ladies. It always ends up being me instead :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656577 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 04:31:53 +0000 mediagirl 656577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When they open a new check out line, say, "next in line" and inevitably the person who just got in line runs over. FFFFFFFFF youuuuuuuuuu. Not just the line runner but the cashier, too!!!! </p> <p>Heavy breathers, personal space invaders and bad drivers are up there, too. I should mention I have little patience to begin with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656533 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 01:10:13 +0000 MamaMagpie 656533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsscb: *shudder* when I lived in NYC it was all I could to not let the daily barrage of horrible noises on the subway ruin my day! I would always wonder "do you realize you're singing out loud? And off key?"</p> <p>Mine is definitely people who completely disregard social etiquette! Think line-cutters, taking up more than one parking spot, men not getting up for pregnant ladies or elderly (I don't care if it's old-fashioned), etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-patience-kryptonite/page/2#post-656462 Wed, 20 Mar 2013 23:12:08 +0000 StbHisMrs 656462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chewing noises are the bain of my existence. </p> <p>Bad/slow/oblivious drivers and people who push their carts down the wrong side of the aisle, think costco.
