Is anyone else exceptionally impatient?

[littlefireseverywhere]

Honestly, I’m worse than a toddler. I’m mid 40s, female, have a family name more impatient than anyone I know including my children. I texted a friend earlier today (2pm) and they still haven’t replied!

I know IABU but is anyone else? Or just me...

So impatient I didn’t proof read it first!

Chill out, you'll give yourself a hernia!

Oh god, yes, me too! Can't stand having to wait for anything!

About some things yes. I want to know instantly.

I blame the internet - having everything I want at my fingertips - amazon prime getting next day delivery (3-5 working days and not free??? Pah! I will get it off amazon...)

P. S. Sorry I didn't reply more quickly

Yes, but I'm a menopausal old bag. :)

I am. I cannot, cannot queue. Would rather go without. If I shout that dinner is ready I get cross when everyone meanders about for 10mins before coming to the kitchen. I get angry with slow loading Internet pages. I know I'm only driving myself mad but why is everyone and everything so damn slow 😂

SO pleased it’s not just me. ! And it’s not as if I can help it, there are some things I just don’t care how long they take. But others, well they have to happen now.

@Somethingsnappy apology accepted.

My mum said I was the most impatient person she knew when I was young! I also used to hate queues or having to wait for the bus each day for work or not having something done the minute I thought about it.
I'm better now I'm older and realized that haste isn't a good thing at all! Patience is indeed a virtue.

Yep me, I am awful. It needs done right now, I make my mind up quickly & never doubt my decision. if I want something I go get it. I can’t help being like this!

Patience is indeed a virtue, but I want it right now

I get the absolute rage lately about 'leaving the house'. I think ahead, warn everyone when it's going to happen, give them a 5 min warning but without fail it will take 20 mins of forgetting socks, needing a wee, needing sunglasses, just checking the back door, needing a wee.. Again before we're in the car. I don't know why I get so cross, we're only driving 5 mins to the local woods... Again... But it drives me mad. Get a bloody move on!

I’m pretty impatient, especially if I haven’t slept well, need the loo, or am a bit hungry. So most of the time!

Unfortunately I have passed this trait on to DC1.

All of the above and slow walkers in the street 🤯
Get a frigging move on!

I go mad staying with my parents.

I sleep in late, and would happily leave the house twenty minutes later after a slice of toast.

They get up before they go to bed, and enjoy serving a leisurely breakfast that they only start making once I wake up. This adds a whopping 1.5h to our start time. I've tried to negotiate that they make breakfast and I just roll down to eat it before we go (I don't actually want it but there's a whole other story there...). No deal.

The waiting is torture - and they blame me for getting up late!

Oh I am just a nightmare for this. I get a bee in my bonnet about wanting something, then need it yesterday. Just no patience or ability to wait at all! I recently decided to repaint the woodwork in the lounge, HAD to get the paint the same day, did the door and now I have a painted door and nothing else because I got bored. Sigh.

God, give me patience, and give it to me right now I'm the same. Usually I get it my way but it sucks to be so impatient. And it pisses me off even worse when I see how calm other people are😂

Me-Hi son did you have good day? Son(Pre COVID and at school) ‘thanks mum it was ok’.
Me-can you hang up your jacket, please
Son-I’m just in give me a minute
Me-please it would really help me
Son-ok will do it in a minute
Me-hangs up jacket, straightens shoes and follows him as he takes off school shirt so I can put in the washing because it’s been stressing me all afternoon I didn’t have quite enough for a white wash.

My life sucks.

Me! God yes, so impatient!
Can’t abide dilly-dallyers, especially in supermarkets.
And everything else in life.

Yes! I’ve always been impatient and still am. Just can’t help it, want to get stuff done now and not a moment later!

Yes, mostly with strangers (I’ve trained myself to smile sweetly with family and friends whilst screaming internally) and particularly in supermarkets. Supermarkets are not a leisure activity, why do people walk so slowly, choose so slowly, unload on to the checkout so slowly, pack so slowly and then still seem to be surprised by the fact that they need to pay, surely you’ve had long enough to think about it!!! Sometimes it worries me that I can actually feel my breathing get quicker whilst watching them but mostly I just conclude that I’m superior.

Yes I was just thinking today how impatient I am. I've been like it all my life. As in I walk ahead really fast and if I want something I want it yesterday.
