Do you have the patience to wait for something or someone?

i believe there is an alloted time to serve customers in line in a fast food chain. am not pretty sure how long. as for waiting for the food while sitting down to be served i believe 15 minutes is the recommended time of waiting. but as with other cases, i love to read anything and everything. you can look it up the net to find out how long it is alright to wait in different circumstances .

When I was in the U.S and other countries like Singapore, and Hongkong it did not take 15minutes. It was quiker, employees in a fastfood restaurant had a system. Unlike, here where I am from most of them do things in circles. And tend to forget to punch an order most of the time. Just like today, I ordered a sandwich, and coleslaw.. The cashier forgot about it completely, she even said, something about if i had anything I wanted. When I asked, where is my coleslaw she said ow sorry I forgot to punch it in. WTF is that?

Well, I know waiting is always part of life. But, when do you think waiting and being patient has to end? Because sometimes or most of the time people where I am from abuse patience. One example of this is, fast food joints here, I really thought it was fast food. It took the cashier to get things done after 20mins. And all she did was go in circles. Now, that my friend is a waste of patience. This happend to me multiple times.

I understand this post by hunterkim_07. I've just applied for a teaching position in public school. I had passed my requirements last February. I did the demonstration teaching, interview and examinations last April. They say that the result of the ranking of grades will be posted this end of May. However, it will be June already and yet, there are still no news on our application in public school. I am starting my Master's Degree soon and I have to spend money on it. I am looking forward to have a teaching job in high school this opening of classes so I can have money to spend in my studies. My cousin who is a high school teacher waited for so many months before he finally get a job on a public school. He keeps on telling me to be patient and just look for another job while waiting for the result of my application in the public school. I also keep on praying with God to give me a chance to work in a public school. I am not quitting in waiting. I know that if I have faith and belief, God will make a way for me to realize my goals in life.

Yup, that is hard and understand how you feel bro. It is really hard and still be patient about things specially when you have been waiting for so long, like for a job. I have felt this way before losing patience, losing motivation, and losing hope. Hopefully, things will be better and you will successfully find a job. Best wishes to you and Best of Luck. Thank you for sharing and responding. Happy mylotting to you!

Well, yeah but what if you are waiting for a unicorn? It might not come and you lose out on something. Waiting is a gamble, either for an object or for someone.

hehehehe. Waiting for someone is sort of good and bad. But, most people I know specially westerners do not have the patience to wait. All even know a japanese businessman that my dad partners with, and he does not want to wait for long hours.

Well, yeah patience is important. But what do you plan to do if a person abuses your patience? Patience will always apply in anything we do. So, how will you be patient with a person who abuses it?

Thank you for your advise.. Patience is trained. I can see that because I am not that patient most of the time. I want things done fast and quick. Maybe that is how I was brought up, I want jobs done fast and quick without having to wait.

hahaha I know how you feel bro. When I drive I get so pissed at those slow drivers who are driving in the fast lane. But sometimes, I do get frustrated but mostly I try not to get it into my head.

I know the disgust when you wait for people who are "ALWAYS" late and seem to have a new excuse every time they are late. But, hey on the gadget side, it is always good to dream, dreaming and making good use of that dream will bring you somewhere. Dreaming and hoping for something and doing something about it will help you succeed too.

Well, either way even though you are in need of her services, as an employer or customer, the person providing will always need to be on time.

hahaha I am in the medical field, and I am in medicine as well. As per experience, Doctors should not be late. But, sometimes they have to do rounds and they may have emergency cases. But the proper thing to do, is to inform the secretary to inform the patients waiting for that doctor that he might be coming late.

I am in the same boat. I was brought up to be on time, and to be punctual. If the appointment is at 9am I would arrive 15minutes earlier to make sure. But, hey you can never avoid being late, you know some things just happen. But, if it goes on for awhile that is a whole different story.

Well, at least you have patience mostly. But for me, it depends on the mood. If I am on a good mood I might have extended patience. But, for those days that I woke up on the wrong side of the bed, patience seem to be like as small as an ant.

I think so too. As of now, I can not wait to get that gadget that I have been wanting for 3 months now. But, with the scheduled releases, I think I will wait. I might get something better if I do. But, in regards, to a person, I think I did find the person that I think I would happy to be with. Time will only tell.. So, hence, I still need patience. I am still in Med school, I can not leave Med school to start a family, I am incapable of supporting a family just yet. Hence,again I need patience. Thank you for a good response! Happy Mylotting to you!

Well, I know how you feel. For one thing, I waited for a shirt that was suppose to arrive 1 week ago, but did not come. Now, the company sending the said shirt informed me that there is now a problem. Another, situation was when, I had a problem with my DSL, the tech support person said, a technician would call me, I waited the whole day for it. But sadly, no one called or even came over. I was so pissed at that. Service is service. I pay the right price and at the right time (on time), is it too hard to ask for on time service as well?

That is perfectly reasonable. Waiting can be such a pain from time to time. And people should in fact be on time when they have appointments.

Well, I am weighing the odds still for waiting for a new gadget to be released. But for people, I was brought up to be on time. Sometimes I can tolerate people being late. But in this country where I am in, most people are 1 hour late and it seems to be so annoying

It is nice to see a lot of people in mylot are patient. Well, the fact that most of us are here that means we are patient. Thank you for responding and Happy Mylotting!

Yup you are right. I think patience has it limits. People have limits and we can never blame them when they reach that limit. Thank you for your response. Really appreciated. Happy Mylotting!

Yup, I have tried that as well. I waited for like 2 months to get my car fixed. It had a problem with the mechanism that turns both tires to the left which makes it harder. So, the entire assembly had to be changed and more. Plus, parts had to be ordered from other places. I had to wait and take the public transportation for 2months carrying huge books. And after two months, I called, It was not done yet!! errrrrrr So, I had to wait for another week. Luckily, I got the car back. Then, something was wrong again, the plugs were not checked. So, I had to have it fixed again. It took a day because it was a busy day for them. So, I had to wait another day AGAIN!

hahahah you my friend is one of a kind having a lot of patience is very admirable. But, yeah if the wait is worth it then it is. Thank you for responding! Happy mylotting!
