Same here Foxy. People used to say to me 'You are so patient with things'. Now, I tend to smash them up and bin them.

Re: Tolerance

I am patience itself -with animals.
At times some people however would be greatly improved by a piece of two by four applied to the scull .

On the other hand as my Grandma used to say
'You can't knock nowt where there is nowt'

Yes Longdogs, that sums me up to a tee these days....
Time has become too precious to mess about repairing stuff. Bin it and buy new.....

I'm the same with animals and (when I was a youth worker) young people. I have never been very tolerant with adults however. People at work used to wonder why I had so much patience with the young people I worked with but almost none for my staff. My management style was - "Look, you're getting paid for this. The least you could do is put some effort into it. If you don't I can find someone else who will!"

Re: Tolerance

I just have this feeling of - been there , done that , and got the tee shirt . I used to be really giving and patient , I've given to those in need , I've been there for those who needed me , I've done and seen and heard it all , and it's still happening , in fact I made no difference to any thing .

Definately less tolerant sadly

Re: Tolerance

Well, let me think.
I thought as I got older I was becoming more tolerant
But as it turns out,
I just don’t give a ____ any more

Re: Tolerance

I think Ive become more tolerant as I grow older,things dont seem so black or white,I can understand better how some people feel.But I do agree alot of people on this site have no tolerance
