Are you a patient person or do you have a short fuse?

i am the patron saint of lost causes and have the patience of job. I will cary on with something, or someone far, far longer than is good for anyone concerned. This is not always a good thing

No, I can imagine it wouldn't always be good, and that it could sometimes become lonely to be the only avid supporter of what everyone else considers a lost cause. It's admirable, however, to know that you hold on to your beliefs and don't allow the opinions and interjections of others to steer you from your path.

That's always good to hear. When you do get angry, is it easily managable?

It's good then, because you probably have to hold everything together and make sure they don't all explode.

I'm usually a very patient person, unless I am dealing with someone who is being lazy or trying to dodge work. Then I will get very annoyed and usually snap at them if they don't get my first few hints to pick up the pace. But if I am dealing with animals or children or someone who doesn't "know better" I am very patient and will explain things (or just put up with things, depending on the situation).

I think it's definitely a good thing to know when to be patient, and when to lose your temper.

Some people would say I have the patience of a saint. But I do find my self sometimes having a short fuse. I try to be patience with everyone, not alway an easy task!

No, it isn't easy being patient with everyone because some people really know how to push buttons!!

I think I am patient. However, when it comes to dealing with stupid people I have a very short fuse. How about you? Are you patient?

I have a very short fuse when it comes to people with no common sense. I'm trying to work on it though.
