Patience is a virtue. I don't have. Do you?

I hate waiting around. I hate waiting for the internet to connect, pages to refresh etc...I can feel my blood boiling sometimes (well, maybe thats a bit dramatic!)

Tell me your patient or impatient stories...

i did a thread on this a few months ago, cos i know what you mean, james. i can't handle waiting around, i've gotta always be doing stuff. i get really shitty if i'm waiting.

I guess if we are expecting someone at a certain time and they dob't bother to call oreven show up at all can be stressful. I get miffed with that.

What, what? Like I have time for this. ;)

Why is patience still considered a virtue? We live in an accelerated age, not the age of speed but the age of the instantaneous. Impatience should be considered the new virtue because it speeds us towards the future, which we worship.

I am highly impatient. Especially with other people. What is wrong with them, that they cannot progress at the speed I wish them to?

i agree with Kate, but all the impatience and constantly having my expectations crushed by SLOW PEOPLE who do not do things NOW and GET OUT OF MY FREAKIN WAY in the tube station etc is making me v stressed and a prime candidate for early heart attack. or maybe a GBH charge when i PUNCH THEM. sorry Cabbage, i'm gonna have to take up the yoga lessons and start that aromatherapy course...

Did anyone else read Kate's last paragraph in the style of Mojo Jojo?

― RickyT, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I am mojo jojo. Mojo jojo am I. There is only one. It is me. Bow before my will! My will insists that it be bowed before! There cannot be more than one Mojo Jojo and that is I. All else are imposters! Not I, the only Mojo Jojo!

(that is the best depiction of my personality that I've seen, the episode where Bubbles thought she was Mojo Jojo.)

I am surprisingly impatient. And rude to people when they obstruct me. Foo's that step slowly onto escalators. Or cannot use ticket machines adn keep putting money in when it says 'no change available'.Or wait till they get on the bus to find their travelcards. Or don't recongnise that pavements are narrow and their hogging of it means I have to RISK LIFE UND LIMB and step into the road to get past. Basically, everyone apart from me is a twat. Oh yes.

(sorry to Di for asking the same question, I was too impatient to check the archives! :)...

That Smashing Pumpkins documentary last night has put me in a great mood. I love everything, indeed!

As a young Catholic I had a tape of 'Bible songs' that I used to listen to. One was about patience and it was sung by a snail who claimed 'Remember, remember, that God had patience too - and if the Lord had time to hurry you could hurry too' ...? I never got that song.

I was sitting next to a guy in a cafe and we were both using the internet, and during the half hour session he muttered constantly 'come on, come on, fucking internet, fucking bastard ...'

I hate it when 2 fat people walk abreast of each other and block the sidewalk arrrghh!

― turner, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

boy yeah, I hate that! & fucken people that stand on escalators, I wanna kick em. I mutter "Get out of my fucken way" & stuff at people in the st. all the time like a nutty old man.

― duane, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And let's not forget grey haired arthritic ladies who have the NERVE to walk in front of you! THey think they fucking OWN the sidewalk because they are old and feeble!

― turner, Friday, 23 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

three years pass...

I find myself both being impatient and being impatient with impatient people, which is an unusual contradiction I suppose. (Then again I think a lot of people are desperate for some kinda mental fix that keeps them from thinking about real life, but that's another matter!)
