I am Impatient

I am impatient by nature. I have never hidden it

I have long accepted the fact that patience is a virtue I cannot boast of having.

An acceptance which has long put me at peace with my self

I don’t suffer fools gladly and I see no reason why I should be around you if we cannot indulge ourselves in some degree of creative & intellectual sparring ( And I don’t mean all those Chemistry or History notes you crammed to pass while you were in school- try engaging me in that and I’ll be sure to flee from you. Not out of insecurity but just plain boredom!)

I don’t have the patience to wait for people to learn the same lesson over & over again especially when they’ve heard it 20 times before

I don’t have patience for people who are sluggish in nature, dragging their feet until the soles of their shoes scream for mercy

I don’t have patience for the cashier at the bank who takes a clear 20mins to perform a simple transaction- an exercise which is usually done in 10 mins, sometimes less

I don’t have the patience to sit down and wait for hours for something which technology has made possible to have in a matter of minutes

I don’t have the patience to wait for a webpage to load and tug at my hair, looking for strands of grey hair while I wait for emails to be sent or for files to attach

I don’t have patience for people who call themselves educated and yet their behaviors are worse than those of the people in the villages

I don't have patience for people who drive like they got their driving lessons from monkeys in the wild.


I don’t have patience for people transferring their aggression to me like I’m the one who’s responsible for the way they’re feeling- I’ve got enough of my own issues to deal with and clearly I don’t want yours!

I don't have patience for 'control freaks' and 'busy bodies'. Always trying to pry into your private life and take whatever control they can have over it- Quit minding my business and mind yours for a change!

I don't have patience for people who keep promising they won't do something again, yet they go back and do the same damn thing- If you've not learned the lesson yet then quit wasting my time & yours

I don’t have patience for snobbish, arrogant, rude & saucy people who treat others in a condescending manner just because they ‘believe’ they’re better financially & socially – like hell you are!

I don’t have patience for a boyfriend who likes to behave like he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me since the sanitary pad and goes on to disrespect me & my feelings. He should be intelligent enough to know where the door is so I don’t have to waste my energy showing it to him.

I don’t have patience for a friend who berates me and finds fault in everything I do and every decision I take just to make herself feel better-Go find someone else to ease your insecurities for you

I don’t have patience for whiners. They whine and whine about anything and everything and in the process, they drain your energy as well leaving you depressed for no reason- who said misery doesn’t love company? Quit whining and do something about it!

I don’t have patience for a lazy person who doesn’t want to make something out of him/herself but is content with mooching off others- either you get a life or you get the hell out of mine!

I don’t have the patience. It’s that simple.
I am what I say I am. I am impatient
