well, if i have to answer that, i can say it depends on the person i am waiting for. there are different people that come to our lives and we can meet different people anytime of the day. let me enumerate the following type of people who will let me wait and see my reaction. i know each one of has have different patience level so my patience level will also vary on the people who let me wait.
1. my sweetheart or bf – if he lets me wait and hour and i will “feel” it was unintentional, pwes! when he comes, he can’t find me on the spot anymore. am off to the mall or maybe off to home. LOL! but if he lets me wait in an airport – i would wait the whole day if i knew he made the flight and he contacted me that i should not leave the airport even if i have to wait 5 hrs or more.
2. my daughter/son – i would wait. i would smile. even an hour will do but the sermon will be endless. hahahahaha.
4. my father – i would leave as soon as i get bored. hahahaha. he is already big and very much able to find his way. except maybe if i am gonna wait on him in a bus terminal or airport in a foreign place.
3. work related persons – incase am told to meet an official visitor at the terminal or airport and has not come in an hour or two, well, i don’t have to complain because am paid being there. hahaha. but if the place is not a nice place for waiting like being crowded and people smokes – haiii i would surely complain inside me.
4. friend – i would leave after an hour or two or it depends on the place. now that texting is available, i won’t wait that long it depends if he or she really asked me to wait for that long.
5. bus/plane/vehicle – long time before, i find myself complaining for delayed trip schedules. but as i get older, i tend to be patient. i would like to think that the time is now my own. it is God’s property. So i have to depend on him. Who knows a delay will prevent me from an accident. Who knows a delay will cause me to meet the future love of my life. Who knows a delay will enable me to help a person who really needs help. right?
and you? are you that patient or are you also impulsive at times, like me?
