6. Take this quiz - Are You Impatient?

You Are Impatient

You hate to wait, and you hate to waste time. You get antsy quickly.

You have zero tolerance for any situation you don't like, and as a result you get stressed easily.

You have a short fuse, and its easy for you to lose your temper in a major way.

People tend to annoy you. You don't have tolerance for anyone else's crap.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times? again 10 minutes

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads? back roads...the highway traffic freaks me out

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it? Recently when a lady was adamant about using a million internet coupons in Walmart ahead of me and none of them would scan...I had all my groceries on the belt and had Griffin with me so my patience were thin...I'm sure I gave one of those "Oh come on!!"

6. Take this quiz - Are You Impatient?You Are Patient Enough In most cases, you are patient enough to keep it together.

You may feel impatient on the inside, but you don't usually let it show.

However, if you're made to wait for too long, you will usually crack.

You're only human, after all. You don't like for your patience to be tested.

[Pawie 6]

1. Where does your patience suffer the most?

When I have to deal with rude, ignorant, persistent people.

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away?

Very long. Per Murhy's Law - if you change line your old line will go faster.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times?

20 minutes.

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads?

I would go the slow and winding road, playing Beatles ;-)

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it?

I can't recall ever have done that. It's not their fault. I can get irritated if the chashier and the customer before me chit chats personal matters while I am waiting, especially if I am in a hurry. That's rude.

If people rip into me when it happens I either just hold my piece or tell them what I think at the time....

[Doxiejoe 1]

1. Where does your patience suffer the most? Work

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away? It depends on how pressed for time I am and how important it is that I make the purchase right then. I can wait a pretty long time.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times? No limit. I can multitask while I wait on hold.

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads? I'm not a big fan of winding roads. I'd probably just stick to the highway.

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it? I don't think so, at least not intentionally.

6. Take this quiz - Are You Impatient?You Are Very Patient You are an incredibly patient soul. You rarely get rattled or frustrated.

You have the makings of a great teacher, parent, or leader.

You are able to deal with people's annoyances and quirks. You don't let yourself get angry.

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away?

I remember learning about this in business school. There's an equation to figure out a company's lost profit from a customer's wait. A business loses money if a customer leaves. You have to balance it against staffing cost associated with shorter wait times. I'm pretty patient because I'm busy thinking about this when I'm waiting in line...lol

3. What is your limit for phone hold times?

I'm usually too busy to wait. If I have the time and I need to talk to someone, I'll hang on the phone while I'm doing other things around the house. I've waited 30-45 minutes on a tech support call.

1. Where does your patience suffer the most?

I don't like long red lights. All that wasted gas.

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away?

I'll wait as long as I need to.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times?

If I'm on the phone it must be important so I'll wait as long as is needed.

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads?

Probably the back, winding roads.

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it?

No, I don't think so.

1. Where does your patience suffer the most? About ten hours into the twelve hour drive to Indiana...

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away? Depends. If I have somewhere to go, I'll walk away if it's going to make me late. Otherwise, I'll wait. I'm pretty patient.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times? Depends on the urgency of the call - I'll say ten minutes, but I've held longer when necessary.

Sunday Sixpack -

1. Where does your patience suffer the most?

Can't think of anything really...maybe driving....slow people....

I will wait pretty long...I have to pay for the things, lol....but if there is a problem with the item or they are checking something and I see another line open up I will go in that...

If it is something I need I hold until they come on..

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads?

Yep, I am patient....I am a gardener...:sun_smiley:

[Refugee 7]

1. Where does your patience suffer the most? - Lately? Just about everything. Mostly with the human race. I don't handle people who irritate me very well, and especially those with one track minds.

2. How long will you wait in a check out line before walking away? - Depends on my mood and if I have somewhere to be.

3. What is your limit for phone hold times? - About 20 minutes

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads? - Just stay where I am, the congested highway, I mean what's the purpose of a slow, winding back road? If it doesn't get you to where you are going faster, why bother?

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it? - Yes, on both counts. If the person in front of me is not ready at the cash register, then step out of line and do the rest of us a favor and let us move forward and get the hell out of the store.

Yes, working in retail, I do deal with those who, like me, are short tempered and can't wait. Some days it makes me laugh, other days, I say my peace, and that usually ends that problem, real fast. I can be a real bitch, but I do smile while being one.

4. If they took the same amount of time and got you to the exact same place, would you rather take a congested highway or slow, winding back roads? - I'll take the slow winding road every time.

5. Have you ever been rude to a fellow customer or a store employee because you've had to wait in line? Have you been the recipient of such behavior? How do you handle it? - No but you can probably see from my body language that I'm annoyed. I can't recall every being the recipient of that kind of behavior.
