Are you able to take more off the public now that you`ve matured, or do people wear your patience thin more nowthat you`re older, and you `d rather not cope with it ?

I know that I have become more patient with age, and I have seen others become more patient along the same pattern. My experience has shown me that people are more accepting of others as they age. We have insight as we age and we transfer that introspection to others. We see our own qualities in other people and we are more forgiving. That has been my experience.
Of course, there are exceptions, if you have a crotchety neighbor, she or he may be that exception.

I work in the public and deal with them all day long. Most of the time in my job I can pretty much know whats going to come out of there mouths so I try to solve the problem asap!! But as I get older my patience grows thinner and thinner. I have road rage like you wouldn`t believe and can`t tolerate BS. Just been through too much in my life to put up with 2 much!!!

I guess it all depends on the content...and my mood that day! Ha
Most of the time however, I find myself shaking my head. I don't let others bring me down but sometimes It's just so hard to believe that so many people lack basic common sense and respect. As I get older It's still definitely frustrating and I think It will stay that way. It will always astonish and stupefy me when people are vicious to others they don't even know. Everyone has a story.....choose your battles wisely. Instead of picking at differences, try to learn something!

I dont think I've changed with age. I've never had patience. And I still dont.
