If why I'm in a long line is worth it, I'll wait.  If not, I'll leave.  

I patiently wait for packages.  Also, a patient driver.  

Some things we have little control over.  

I have little patience for those slacking off and those doing sloppy work.  No patience at all for incompetence and poor customer service.  

Several corporate strategic planners told me one time the most important department in a company is customer service.  They confirmed what I thought, too. No tolerance at all on my part.  

In some cases, I equate patience with tolerance.  How long and how much are you willing to put up with...tolerate?  While I'm patient in some things, I don't allow people to take advantage of me.

I am a very patient person, but that was not always the case. When I was younger, I was sometimes a powder keg just waiting to go off, and grew impatient easily. I think about it now and chuckle to myself, because it takes A LOT to try my patience these days. Maturity is a beautiful thing!

Apparently I am, my co-workers always summon me to deal with an irrate or unruly customer, lol.

I'm more patient than I used to be, but I still have a looooooong way to go!

[Sooner]

Yes.  Of course I am.

What else do you want to know?  Come on!  Out with it.  What else?  I'm waiting. . . it's been quite some time.  What's your next question?  Hummmm?  Go ahead and ask for crying out loud!  Look how long I've been here! 

See?  I'm patient!    Just ask my husband!

Great topic - I'd have to agree with others, depends on the situation or day. 

I will say having patience is a good quality to have, strive for.

Sometimes. It depends on the situation.

I am normally a patient person but today I had to hang up on a Comcast person.  I have no patience for someone that is beating around the bush instead of getting to the point after I asked a question.  I am patient in the grocery store line, patient waiting for the UPS guy (he showed up close to 7 pm but he is the best); patient at the post office in line.

I am a pretty patient person, esp. with those I love no matter what they are going through.

Where I really lose it is with red tape and customer service and dealing with stupid press 1-10 and incompetent government services.
