1. Depends on what I'm waiting for
Traffic doesn't really bother me, or waiting for a prescription or a particular date or that sort of thing.

Waiting for people who are late - now that sets me off.

6. I'm okay with traffic and shopping. Bureauocracy gets to me...
I applied with the Veteran's Administration months ago for assistance with PTSD and hearing loss. I finally took a hearing test yesterday. The diagnosis? Severe hearing loss in the upper ranges in both ears. Now I get to wait some more...

15. You're OK with traffic?
You probably dont live in Los Angeles, then!

I was on one highway (CA highway 60) and five lanes of traffic -including the car pool lane - all completely stopped. For about an hour, did not move.

2. Most impatient I know
but only when waiting on people.

Other things, I don't really care much about.

3. I'm pretty patient
Driving trucks for a living will do that to you or else you'll go insane.

18. Copy that
Got to my 0800 appt. yesterday and was told that production was lagging and that there would be a little bit of a wait. Finally departed 1715 (yes, a NINE hour wait) and had to haul ass all night for 0100 appt. this a.m. If you have no patience in this racket you will go insane in one quick hurry.

20. Nah, by and large I'm a pretty patient person.
However, about some things I can be VERY impatient. :D
