Mr. Bee says that I'm a chill, patient person in general, but I have absolutely no patience when it comes to Charlie's whining. It's true! Gah I can't stand whining. I'll take tantrums over whining.
What is your patience kryptonite?
-
Traffic.
-
hormones?
-
People not using their blinkers.
-
Long lines!
-
Stupidity.
-
People who do things at a snails pace!
-
A tie between interrupting and mouth noises.
-
Stupidity.
-
Blinker usage & whining are definitely list toppers! I'm embarrassed to admit it but G is always talking... like ALWAYS & it wears on my patience quite often. I need quiet to think!
-
Tie between bad drivers and whiny kids (especially whiny kids who are also tattle-tales).
-
Bad drivers. They test my patience daily.
-
pouting/whining and talking back. Drive.me.insane.
-
S screaming. He has taken to screaming when he is frustrated/for attention and it just makes my blood boil.
-
Tiny voiced girls who act dumb but really aren't. Think Victoria Jackson...
-
@bree72: Word.
-
Bad drivers. I have terrible road-rage!
-
Name-droppers. If you name-drop, I almost want to not do what you're asking me to even more.
-
I hate when people don't listen when I talk, and then ask me to repeat myself from the beginning because they zoned out. happens to me a lot at work, and drives me bonkers! haha
i also walk a lot, and i can't stand when drivers (or bikers) just completely ignore traffic laws or just drive right through a busy pedestrian walk way without looking to see if they are about to hit someone. I've seen so many people get hit!
-
@2PeasinaPod: Yes! My SIL's ex was a habitual name dropper. It was ridiculous. I could not stand him!
-
traffic/idiot drivers!
-
My dog licking his feet and other parts.
-
when our dog barks/whines at the furnace (it clicks and he goes nuts all of a sudden) - I cant.handle.it
He is getting old and losing it a bit.. so I really try to be patient .. but sometimes I have to defer to DH to deal with him.
-
Incessant meowing.
-
noise! I cannot stand unnecessary noise. Dog barking/loud tv/ etc. I probably need to figure that one out before we have kids!
-
Whining and people who don't listen!
-
@Mrs. Champagne: Same here. For what it's worth, although my daughter is only 10 months old (so I can't vouch for terrible twos and the like), the adjustment hasn't been all that difficult. But the rare day of her having a bad mood and screaming/crying often makes me want to run for the hills.
-
@Mrs. Champagne: I'm at a vendor's offices right now where they purposefully have white noise throughout their entire building. It's driving me bananas!!
-
Rude people. Especially when people are having their own issues with things, yet take it out on you and your situation.
Dealing with that right now.
-
Hunger. By which I mean that it doesn't matter what's irritating me, if I'm hungry, I'm MUCH less patient.
-
Stupidity.
-
when DH lounges on the couch watching tv while I cook and clean...
-
Crappy drivers
-
Being OBLIVIOUS.
Drives me nuts in so many aspects of day to day life... Like in the grocery when someone is in their own world or -worse- on their damn cell phone, and so they stop smack dab in the middle of the aisle where no one can get around them and they're just totally oblivious to the world around them!
-
bad drivers. Rude customer service employees.
-
@PrincessBaby: I.Can't.Stand. people who stop in the middle of the sidewalk/aisle/whatever because they're on their cell phones!
But what really wears on my patience is not listening and interrupting. I have a co-worker who never listens to anyone, and then interrupts to say something that either doesn't make sense to the conversation, someone already said, or she asks what we're talking about. I want to jab my pen through her eyes.
-
@yellowbird: Same!
-
People making noise on the Subway. This includes, but is not limited to: music so loud I can hear it despite headphones, playing games with the sound on, singing out loud, clipping fingernails. Ugh.
-
Not being completely in control. I hate compromising (especially with DH) and I hate relying on/waiting for someone else.
