Impatience is a component of a Type A personality, and it's where I shine. I'm realistic, and don't aspire to be the best at anything, so why delude myself that I fit that trait of a Type A. Some examples of shining, with impatience...
Fast Food Drive-Ups
For drinks and/or food...are you kidding me? Don't get in line behind seven cars! All I wanted was a Diet Coke. Please, let's just go...I'll be fine without it.
Chess
I play 3-minute games. I've tried 5-minute games, but it gives my opponent way too much time for pondering. I used to play 10-minute games and found I just really didn't have the patience.
Broadcast News
I have to admit, that I don't watch broadcast news. Not at all, for a minute. That doesn't make me uninformed, though, as I read (voraciously) network news (both sides of the fence), 5 newspapers (digital, not dead tree), editorial opinions, etc. As far as broadcast news...I don't like the small talk, the bickering, the commercials, etc. (That list goes on for quite a while).
Traffic Jams
WHY does anyone not take the first exit they can, when all they see up ahead, are cars pretty much dead-still stopped. As you crawl along, and there's an "out"...if I'm your passenger and you crawl on by this "out," I may not show it, but really? I was in sales, with a 6-state territory...trust me, sometimes the back roads will get you there more safely and quickly.
That's probably enough...for now. 😉
Love this one, Linda! I had to take my car for service today up to Milwaukee, and did not take the interstate, love the side roads! No speeding, no traffic, was quite quick and totally enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThank you! In the big cities, I ALWAYS prefer a route through the city, rather than the highway. Always fun to drive along Lake Michigan...my preference!!
