I know it's weird to ask to rate yourself on patience...but what would you ultimately say? Are you genuinely patient with everything? Are you patient with some things and not others? What's your overall average patient rating?

I know it depends on the instance...but I'm just asking for an average rating...and an explanation.

Me? I'm not a patient person. I've tried working on it, but I'm not very patient, with anything. Sucks.

So, on the actual vote: 1 is impatient as hell, 10 is patient as hell. lol
 
I gave myself a 5. Inside, I can be pretty impatient, but outside, I am patient. For instance, if someone is talking on and on, incessantly, not saying much, I will usually feel impatient inside (thinking, "Shut up already, you're just babbling"), but outside, I am quietly listening, waiting for them to finish. Another example is waiting in lines. I don't like it, and it bugs me, but I've learned to just let it go and wait, because there's nothing I can do about it. So I would say I have a lot of impatient reactions on the inside, but I've learned to discipline myself to not act on them, so I behave patiently.
 
About a 3 here. I'm a big time type A personality. We're rarely patient. To level everything off I'm a big thinker and planner.
 
I didn't even make it through the whole OP.
 
Gave myself am 7. I can be pretty patient. I do have some loops. Like standing in line at the grocery store. I.. I have bad thoughts about the other people in line. :(

But that's one of the only times I really feel impatient. Of course also if I am late for something and I can't get past people (old people, lady with a stroller, multiple people taking up all the sidewalk).
 
I could never figure out my own level. I can remarkably patient to the point where I can take a punch to the face and still not lose my cool. Then on the flip side, I've decked a guy for next to nothing. That was all when I was younger though.
 
If the line in the store is long during the holidays, I may just come back later.

Is that because I'm to impatient to wait in line, or because I'm patient enough to wait and come back some other time?
 
Depends on the day. I can be the most patient person in the world on most days, but extremely impatient if I'm having a bad day or have a headache or etc.
 
I have a very high tolerance for taking sh!t and i never ever forget.

But to be honest nothing comes to mind lol. Ill tell you that in everyday life i definitely don't mind waiting as long as everything is fair.

What really sets me off though is when people skip lines be it at the grocery store or in traffic. For example every time some as$holes use the emergency lane to skip traffic i calmly move my car over in between so that i block them all off. Nobody can say sh!t. But that has more to do with anger than anything else.
 
I'm about an 8. Patience will get you thru life...if you're patient.
 
So when we're talking patient level are we saying like 0 equals getting a shot followed by a lolly pop and 10 equals being in the ER?
