How often have you gotten impatient with an older person for ?

Question

moving so slow and holding you up instead of looking at what might become of yourself? How will you want people to view your own limitations?

Answer 1

If they're on the road, doing 30mph BELOW the speed limit... yeah, I'm impatient!!!  It's known as "obstructing the flow of traffic!"

In the store, with the shopping carts, I go around and give a quiet "snuff" to them.

Call me callous!  

When I grow to that age when *I'm* the slow one, then I'll also be so decrepit as to not notice or care.

Have a polite day.

Answer 2

My Mom is 79, so I've learned to have patience!!!

Answer 3

I am very patient and try to help them by letting them go in front of me or just waiting or helping them out when I can. I know I will be in their shoes one day so it is just out of respect. I hope that I am only fortunate enough one day for people to treat me with respect too.  

Answer 4

I am an older person and I sometimes find it painful to walk, but I have to keep going, It will happen to almost  all of you in time,And yes, I do have a soul as do all the oldsters I know., unlike the kind of person who doesn.t care about others.

Answer 5

we should never ever get inpatient with our senior citizens as one day we too will be there.

Answer 6

I don't get impatient if they can't help how fast they walk. I DO get impatient when they are driving a car and drive about 30 miles per hour. They can help that. They can help how hard they push the pedal.  

Answer 7

old people dont have souls so who cares

Answer 8

I get impatient at times but I say nothing and smile at them because it will be me one day... only i hope I never get to the point where I just stop dead in my tracks in the middle of a super market and stare at the corn selection while not realizing there are people behind me ... lost in my own little world .  

Answer 9

Never.
