Though they say that patience is a virtue, there are moments that you are being tested whether you are patient or not. It is fine to wait if there is really something to be waited for. At times you are never even sure if there is an assurance for waiting long enough especially if you never receive any word from the people concerned nor at least hand you an explanation for keeping you waiting.
when this happens, I cannot help thinking that there are really some insensitive creatures walking on this earth failing to realize the cause of trouble they are getting others into for keeping them waiting.

I'm the kind of person who always or if possible kept what I have promised especially appointments. And in circumstances that is unavoidable, even though I have done everything to keep that promised, I'll let the person know in advance the reasons why. And this is where technology comes in, through telephone or text messages so that the person involved will not be waiting.
Yes, there are some who are really insensitive about the feelings of others especially people in the government offices.

Yes, you owe the person an explanation of course. But if one really has a bad habit of making people wait, that is another side of the coin!

Well, the wait, which we like it or not, it is part of our daily lives.
Based only analyze a single day common, and already we come to understand how much time is spent waiting.
Of course, we await the hope that something "arrivals", I must say that unfortunately sometimes we are disappointed. This very sad!
In line at the supermarket, in the queue at the post office, waiting at the bus stop, or, as in my case, waiting for life takes me to ... something good!
Many say, "Just wait ... something will come!"

You have a point there! It really depends on what we are waiting. if we are waiting in line just like those situations you mentioned, then I think it is okay to wait because you know for sure that your turn comes soon

Oh yeah I do believe that this is happening because many thinks that it is okay to keep people waiting. I have a friend like that and I have made sure and told her that I will never meet her anymore of she will keep me waiting m I have her two chances and the other time I was there and I purposely tried to make her wait like what v she always does. She soon learned and had known the feeling how it was too wait for someone.

My friends know that very well. They know that I am not really patient when it comes to waiting and they know also that I do not keep them waiting.

One of my very best friends is one of those people that makes you feel like you are constantly waiting on him. In fact, I tend to think that he has his own time system and I, along with many other people, have referred to it as Donnie time. It is something that does get quite frustrating at times, however, I am able to deal with it because of the fact that he does a lot of favors for me and really doesn't ask for anything in return. If, on the other hand, I was doing something for him, this would be a characteristic that would make me very upset with him.

I've been through this kind of dilemma many times.i really hate waiting. almost every time,i wait for people.when i was dating with my husband before marriage,i also always waited for him.i don't know why this kind of people always late,but i can say they donot respect people at all.
if a person keeps me wait for three times,then i will dump her/him no matter what kind of excuse she/he has.

With the use of cellphones, one can just text or call if ever they are late or whatever.
But to keep one waiting without even a text, could really be infuriating. Hence without any of that, i will be out of the waiting period.

Exactly! What is the use of technology if we cannot use it properly? People sucks may times...

I just follow the simple rule" care for those who care for you". Those who kept you waiting without reason. Just ignore them, and keep yourself busy with your works and keep them waiting and wondering for you.
Happy mylotting.

I am an impatient person. I try to be more patient, but no, I'm not patient... but actually I try not to complain about people who keep me waiting in public. But sometimes some people just get on my nerves, who keep me waiting out of carelessness, not due to the circumstances.

If a person is perpetually late in all our meet ups and clearly doesn't have any respect for other people's time, then I make it a point not to get in touch or meet with that person again. Or I will ask her to meet up at my place so if ever she's late, I will be comfortably waiting right in my home without being bothered to wait outside. And if she cancels, then at least I am still home. 
But if meeting up cannot be avoided, I usually tell give her half an hour earlier than the actual meet up time. That way, we wouldn't be waiting for her long when she shows up.

I know exactly what you mean,this person when he picks me up, he keep me waiting and we are always late,but when he picks up this other person, he is always on time and I can't understand that about him, he knows what he is doing, some people plan when they are going to be late, and keep you waiting, and they plan when they are going to be on time.

I know people who are always late and they never say a single word for an excuse.They are good for themselves but a real danger for the others.They never feel responsible or guilty for their behaviour.In some countries punctuality is not a virtue.So when they say coming in an hour it means one day.But nowadays nobody can loose time for waiting so we must teach such people to be accurate.
