I have no patience for people who struggle with a problem, but refuse to take council or make ANY changes that will address and fix the problem - I run into far too many people like that.
I have a hard time believing they gave you this label just because you are a white male over 50.

Yesterday I was having lunch in our little town diner/restaurant. A customer at the table behind me started having a conversation on his cell in speaker mode. At first I thought "surely he'll wrap this up quickly," but no....he went on for 10 minutes in a loud, obnoxious voice.

I was ready to rip him a new one. My husband gave me the "down girl" eye so I didn't say anything. I think the owner of the restaurant was ready to approach him but the customer finally left.

That's what I don't have patience for anymore....inconsiderate behavior. I never did but now my blood really boils.

We're having road-rage type behavior for cell phone use in public places. Even have a murder case (defend your ground) here in FL over a cell phone case in a movie theater......we have too many crazy, unstable people here in FL that it probably is the best policy to ignore, move, and leave alone. Very hard to do because you feel that you're spineless, weak, timid for doing so.

I've lost patience with stupid people. If you have a job, then do it. The level of inadequacy we encounter on a daily basis is astonishing. Raise the minimum wage and the bar of intelligence will go up.

Depends on their level of zealotry. There is a certain cant of self-shaming expected of us these days in some circles. If we don't adopt the proper self-loathing and garment-rending approach, we have failed to 'check our privilege' and are thus automatically The Enemy. Our actual views and actions aren't relevant; what's relevant is that we were more obligated than others to parrot the orthodoxy, not less, and we failed to do it with sufficient conformity and enthusiasm, thus we suck.

Technology. I am missing whatever gene it is to keep up with it.


Sound effects on TV that blast you out of your seat, but you had to keep the volume that high to hear the dialog. I don't recall that being an issue in the past.

I unashamedly use closed captioning.

Even if I can clearly hear the actors, many times they talk too fast. I enjoy shows with good writing and I don't want to miss any of it.
