How tolerant are you?

I think the older I get, the more tolerant I get. I don't mind standing in line, even if I don't think there are enough check-outs operating. I have stopped expecting people to hold a door open, so it doesn't bother me. There are things, though, that I won't tolerate. I can't stand bad language, and this is becoming worse and worse, by more and more people; men, women (I won't say ladies) and children. When people are swearing and using foul language in a public place, I will sweetly ask them to desist in the presence of a lady. In a supermarket, I have often told men that they should complain to the management if there is so much blood around. If the language is really foul I haven't yet told them to get out into the gutter where they belong, but one day I might. There is one thing that annoys me more than foul language and that is any abuse of children. I am completely intolerant of this. We hear so much mental abuse as mothers struggle to control their children. One of these days I'll probably land myself myself in trouble, but I cannot do otherwise than approach the mother. At first, it is usually an offer to help or a gentle reproach, but I leave them in no doubt of the harm they are doing their children. I think I am a tolerant person, but when it comes to swearing and any form of child abuse, I have almost zero. Another good discussion. Thanks

I like to think I am tolerant - yes! Of course everyone has bad days when they feel tired or stressed and get a little more impatient than they should do - but on the whole I try to see life from others' point of view as well as my own. About the only thing I am truly intolerant of is others' intolerance and bigotry if that makes sense!

Yes, queing when there's not enough check out operators annoys me too, but what really gets to me is when you're in a supermarket, in a hurry and there's two cashiers, that seem to believe their job is to talk to each other, and hold up everyone waiting to pay!

I tend to be a very tolerant person I think. When faced with such a situation as you mentioned above, I always think perhaps that person has had a really bad day and just try and forget about it. Sometimes it does upset me, but I would never say anything to the person. I'm like your wife, lol, I'd get embarrassed too.

Depends on my mood. Usually I could wait in line if it's short. I have to admit I've left a shop because I didn't want to wait.

I am pretty tolerant to most thing but if my Internet service starts running slow and it is their fault it really steams me! And I hate rude people at the store that push their way in front of you like they are the only one's that matter on this earth! And I think the worst thing Ever Ever is someone popping and snapping their gum in my ear!! *grrrr*
