15 Little Frustrations Chronically Impatient People Will Understand
14. When The Person In Front Of You In The Supermarket Queue Has An Irrational Number Of Items
Queuing up takes long enough as it is; the situation is only exacerbated when the person in front of you has seemingly done the shopping for one hundred people instead of just one. Does this one person really need all this? More importantly, do they not realise that you have neither the time nor the tolerance for this malarkey? There are so many more worthwhile things you could be doing with your life at this moment, but they've all been put on hold by the sheer volume of this person's shopping list. Hopefully they're happy with their dragon's hoard of foodstuffs, because they've effectively ruined the day of every impatient person currently wasting away behind them.
13. When A Package You're Expecting Takes Longer To Arrive Than You Ever Imagined It Would
Alright: after days of deciding on a purchase, you've finally clicked "order." Your package is on the way! ... so where is it? As more days go by and your package doesn't arrive, you get more and more anxious, and checking the forever-empty mailbox becomes increasingly exasperating. The shipping company's tracker says that it has been in your area for days now so why - pray tell - is it not in your hands? Has it been stolen by fairies, or perhaps a dragon? Or has it fallen into some deep, dark abyss with other lost packages? Wherever it is, it better find you soon because what little patience you have left is about to evaporate.
12. When Your Friend Takes A Ludicrously Long Time To Text You Back
Texting is a miracle for impatient people; it makes communication so delightfully instant! That is, until your friend decides to take eons to get back to you. At first, it's alright. Perhaps they're in a meeting, on the phone, or driving, and you can't well text when you're doing one of those things. But as time goes by, it becomes harder to accept that they've simply gotten caught up in something. Why aren't they responding? Have they suddenly lost the ability to type? Was their phone stolen by a rogue pterodactyl? Whatever happened, your friend better watch out: you are now thoroughly annoyed. No impatient person can endure the agony of a slow-responder without wanting to crack some skulls.
