Define impatient?

Question

Define impatient?

Answer 1

My personal limit is 15 minutes.  Impatient?  Maybe, but to me, promptness is a matter of common courtesy.  I am rarely late for work or any other situation where I have promised to be there at a specific time because I want to be considerate of other people's time.

By the same token, I find it extremely rude and selfish when someone promises to meet or see me at a specific time and then makes me wait.  And I do know people well, who are perpetually late.  I view it as a power play on their part, however "unintentional" they claim that it is.

As I said, I will wait 15 minutes.  After that, if I haven't gotten a darn good excuse, I'm outta there.

Answer 2

4 phone calls from your friend when you are 5 mins late

Answer 3

I absolutely hate this word because "slackers" always use it to describe go getters. But impatient means that you simply Dont won't to wait, or you feel that you don't have time to wait.

Answer 4

I have a 15 minute rule too, for appointments and work stuff.  In the real world stuff happens.  Inpatient is not understanding that life gets in the way of your schedule.
