Even with my day-to-day I am very patient, waiting in lines, for food or other service, anything really.
Stuff is going to happen or come when it happens or comes. Getting weird about it will not change anything... makes no sense to me.

I am exactly the same when it comes to driving. I did get 2 parking tickets but they were legal parking spaces where I didn't move my car in time - an error on my part rather than leaving the car somewhere it shouldn't be. I've never had anyone comment on my driving style, but I think that's because they know they'll get a lecture if they do.

Oddly I am totally the opposite when walking. I can't bear people walking slowly in front of me when there is no way of passing, stopping abruptly in front of me or stepping out of shop doorways without looking so I have to spring sideways rather than collide with them. My sense of anger and frustration is way out of proportion for the actual delay. The crime of Being In My WAY is practically a hanging offence in my mind.

I'm about to go out for my lunchtime walk and I just know there will be at least 3 occasions where I want to shout and/ or wallop someone.

I can only assume this is what road-rage drivers feel. It's not how much sooner you arrive, it's being able to move at your own pace. Walking quickly doesn't break the law or kill you though.
