There’s a limit to everything in life and patience is in no way an exception. Even the most tolerant of us might not have enough composure to repeatedly deal with certain aggravating situations.

Surveys suggest that nowadays people’s supply of patience is very limited. For instance, they can only keep calm for 16 seconds if the webpage doesn’t load and are only willing to sit still for around 14 minutes waiting for their food to arrive in a restaurant.

These are just a couple of examples of how impatient we get for one reason or another; and there can be thousands of them. Redditor u/SpicyHashbrowns was curious to learn what is something people no longer have patience for, so they turned to the ‘Ask Reddit’ community with the question.

Fellow redditors described plenty of things and situations they can no longer bear, which you can find on the list below. Scroll down to see if any of them stretch your patience to the limit as well.

So I'm neither religion but I want to add that sometimes that thinking doesn't all way line up with the religion in questions core beliefs. Some people manipulate religions to complement their own beliefs and pull in others. Of course most people probably know this so if you do pay no mind.

    Keep your s**t to yourself. I always hated it. Even as a child already. When I was like 12 - 14 years old, I had this fantasy that if I could conjure things like a wizard, I would make the trash they left somewhere magically show up in their own house, and if they would throw it out on the streets again, it would show up again in their house. Just as long until they got rid of it in the proper way.

    I live in a beautiful mountain wilderness, but didn't grow up in it. My parents rarely took us camping, so I didn't learn "pack it, pack it out" until my 20s. Just seemed common sense. I couldn't believe how many faraway places in the woods we'd get piles of beer cans and diapers and nonsense. I may not exactly be an environmentalist, but how hard is it not to be a lazy a*****e???

    Time is the most valuable thing we have. You can never get it back and its a gift to anyone you spend it on. Things happen. If you reach out to let me know you will be tardy, I will wait indefinitely unless its time sensitive (I'll leave your ticket at the box office - I'm not missing the first act of Hamilton). If you don't reach out, it proves you don't value your time with me so I'll leave. Why waste another minute on someone who doesn't want to be there with you?

    Depends how late they are. 'Time blindness' is common among folks with ADHD, and even though I try my best to be on time, that particular quirk of ADHD frequently makes me a few minutes late. I still value other people's time, I'm not being lazy or irresponsible; I'm just wired differently and haven't figured out a better way to keep myself on schedule.

    Another perspective. 1. Had a lot of roles that required on-call/24X7 coverage. Yes, it was difficult being called out after a long day. Missed some stuff. But if I / my team(s) didn't work, other people couldn't do their jobs. Customers Have to do your best to look after your teams when extra work is necessary. I know a lot of managers that DON'T do that, but many try to. 2.Had a surgery recently that took longer than necessary due to complications. Glad my surgeon didn't leave at 4 pm when their shift was up.

    Yes!! (With the obvious exceptions, many have already mentioned) I'm so tired of people looking at their phones, typing non stop and saying "keep going, keep going, I'm listening"... Recently, a friend of mine (let's call her TF) was telling us (me & another friend- let's call her FB) something super sad... I was paying attention to TF, obviously, but I could tell our other friend FB was typing away on her phone but "paying attention" to the conversation. Well, at one point -out of nowhere- FB starts laughing out loud, interrupting TF mid-sentence... TF was talking about stage 4 cancer...

I don't mean you should be servile - there is a vast difference - but do your job with a smile and a readyness to give your customers a good experience. You'll find that your day becomes much more enjoyable and honestly, most people are nice. If you look as if you're held there against your will people won't warm to you.

That alone has gotten my problems saved SO much faster. My sister is in customer service and you definitely get better answers if you're nice and can communicate effectively. Also, they deal with shite people all day so it's nice to say "you have such a nice speaking voice" or "you were so patient with me and I appreciate that" and it goes a long way. I e literally had people thank me for "making their day". Gosh, really?? Can you imagine how many a******s they speak to all day then??? Just one compliment or nicety can go a long way.

    I agree. My partner has a trans nephew, whose mom is not ok with it, and she has said some messed up stuff to her son. Last Christmas, she said she was done with them, then after Christmas I saw a picture of the Mom resting her head on her son's shoulder while sitting on the couch, while having one of those "feel bad for me because I'm just soooo upset and people need to feel sorry for me" looks on her face. That picture pissed me off because she was being an incredibly terrible person just the day before, but people keep letting her get away with that c**p, which only lets her keep doing it.

    I hit this point with my sister 2 weeks after my mum died. Its been just over 4 years now and I've been completely NC, and apart from missing my mum like crazy, I've never been happier. My sister was/is a purely destructive and toxic force, definitely has NPD and a pathological liar to boot. My nan had finally stopped asking me if I'll speak to her again "because she's FaMiLy" and "I was an only child, I wish I'd had a sister" after a fair few chats actually explaining what that wretched creature put me through, she finally, mostly, gets it. Blood doesn't give you automatic permission to treat someone badly, nor does it mean you have to accept being treated badly. Family is what YOU make it, genetics are irrelevant.

(Other traffic on the highway, as an example) Our political systems are infested with the fallout of this effect, politicians who pretend to care about you, but see you as nothing but a statistical obstacle to their goals. It is often from this, that we can fairly say many of our issues are caused by external stimuli.

    I believe any medical situation that happens with a person while they are trialing a drug gets reported as a possible side effect whether it's related or not. For example, if patient A smokes 4 packs a day and gets diagnosed with lung cancer while trialing an overactive bladder drug, the cancer will be reported as a possible side effect even though everyone knows it was 100% due to smoking. It's a way for Big Pharma to cover its a*s.

The other was for a doctor I started seeing whom told me my back pain that made me unable to stand for even 30 minutes before it locked up, told me "well, you are getting older and so you will start having some pain." I was 28, and had previously been to the hospital twice for a back injury. He argued with me about getting an MRI on my back, because I knew an x-Ray wouldn't show anything since it didn't show anything on my last hospital visit. I switched

    Ten years before the pandemic I was doing remote work. One was a company I was only a mile from the office. But because it was an open office space, if there was a big project, they'd send me home - I am in advertising and I cannot focus on that environment. Ringing phones and people talking - terrible. Was grateful they let me do that. After that tho I never worked for an open plan space again. I knew it wouldn't be a good for for me. Plus working remotely lets me start work earlier. I have always been WAY more productive ever since. Depends on what you do I suppose, but it works for me.

    My friend was a police officer and he could not just "not think about work" sometimes. So he would put a coin in his pocket, and when he came home would put that coin on a brick outside before he came home to his family. That coin was his worries. I thought that was extra.

    I get dinged constantly on my yearly reviews for not responding to after hours / weekend email or calls. If I'm not on the clock then assume I'M LIVING MY LIFE. I'll check my mail/messages on Monday morning. I don't get paid to be on call, don't expect me to be.

    30 People Share What They No Longer Have Patience For “friends” who aren’t friends. I used to go out of my way to stay in contact with people. Try to grab a coffee with them or hang out. I’ve basically lowered my friend group to three people IRL. There are other folks who I used to consider to be friends, but I’m only going to ask someone so many times to hang out and being rejected before just letting that ship sail. We make time for what’s important to us. If someone doesn’t text, call, or make an effort, I just consider them gone.

    True friends neither need nor expect daily or regular contact. True friends are people you don't see or speak to on a regular basis. They are the people who carry on the last conversation you had with them like it was yesterday. True friendship transcends time and distance.

    Amen. Sometimes I talk to my best friend for hours on end 3 days in a row. Sometimes we go three weeks barely saying a word to each other and then simply pick up the conversation where we left off when we finally find the time/motivation to chat.

    Yeah exactly. If you don't make time for me and I'm just whenever its convenient, I'm gone. I don't have time for this. I don't care how busy you are or how anxious you are, if you don't TALK to me then you don't get the privilege of my company. That's just how it works?? Hate this 'mutuals' thing people are doing 'oh i never talk to them we just follow each other' what the ACTUAL f$%&. That's not a friendship. You need to TALK and spend time building a relationship like good lord put IN some effort!

    Without meaning to be rude, people have to choose friends based on their own preferences but sometimes it's just not that easy for some people. I have a chronic health issue, It's an enormous struggle to get out, I can't eat at cafes or drink, and making firm plans is also impossible. To a lot of people this seems like lack of effort or disinterest. I imagine there are quite a few people like me who have few friends (most of them old friends) because of this. Of course it could be that i'm just very boring lol.

    This is a tricky one. Here's my advice. If you have to keep chasing someone, either they're really busy or they think you want something from them. So give them a break. If however the person DOES have something to offer (interesting, attractive, wealthy, educated, etc), then by all means do keep trying, but never send more than two texts before you let them have a chance to reply. Otherwise you come across as desperate or wanting something. I have found most of my work and good further referalls from pursuing people and bothering to check in on them. Sometimes it's good just to drop a text message and see if they're ok without asking for anything at all. In fact someone once said to me that what they liked about me was they'd not hear from me in ages and I'd still come back and check in on them months later, like I had never forgotten them.

They always try to direct me towards what’ll get them the bigger commission but I’ll ask to speak with another sales associate when they try that on me! Usually only takes one time and that behavior is done.

But once I picked a vehicle and he started talking loans and I said I didn't need a loan, when it hit him I was just going to write a check...such a funny look on his face.

Where an when did this all come about. I can remember growing up always waiting to check out, lines where long. Now a days if there are 3 people in a line people will freak out.

    This is a touchy subject, but it has to be said. Children raised by really insecure people that are constantly insulting and blaming themselves for everything DOES affect the children's happiness and self-esteem, frequently leading to mental health problems. At the same time, don't make insecure people feel worse. I have a very deprecating sense of humor (towards myself and others) and I intentionally refrain from making those jokes towards people I know are insecure or have expressed that they don't like it.

    For me this is at its worst at work. When people log cases on our helpdesk and they don't give us any information or they leave out the key thing we need to know. Then they drip feed answers to us asking for more information.

    It's particularly irritating when a manager communicates poorly - then blames the staff for not delivering what they wanted/expected. My last manager did this. The fact that it happened multiple times, with multiple team members, who all pointed out the manager hadn't specified a certain delivery, still wasn't enough for her to acknowledge she was the problem. She used to get really nasty and passive-aggressive towards staff who hadn't delivered to instructions that were only in her head (TBH, probably not even in her head. She was a very muddled thinker).

    It could be the person in front of you has absolutely no human interaction for who knows how long? Working from home has it's drawbacks, and one of those is not talking to another human being for hours/days. That's why I found a job that gets me out of the house now. I used to be that person chit chatting because I was so damn hungry to talk to another person. I mean, I love my dog to distraction, but he doesn't talk to me at all!

    This is a city/rural politeness divide. OP Is from the city and the politeness there is to not take up time or space bc both are in short supply in a city; however in a less dense area it's more polite to chat with everybody to show you care and are respecting their being part of the community with you. :) Good to understand when you're travelling about or moving.

    Small talk has a purpose! I used to hate it until I realised it's 1) like herd animals constantly calling to one another 'hello i am here and I see you! I'm a human!' 'hello I see you also and I am a human too!' etc. It's just a neat thing group animals do. 2) It's a good way to get a feel for someone before investing trust in them. Small talk helps you get to know one another's way of conversational rhythm and greases the first awkward steps or just helps with easing the way. Humans are a social animal and we communicate verbally so we need little back and forth verbals to signal we are acknowledging one another peaceably. n_n
