Yes.
This happens.
A lot.
Have no patience.
For anything or anyone.
Since day one.

Hah, it's me with maths. It would make me want to bang my head on the table everytime I did an equation as I would have always forgotten part of it and have to relearn the method or have to look at the question 11 million times just to make sure I had gotten everything correct.
I never got to meltdown point though, I'd always get frustrated, then very angry with myself and then give up before it got too bad. :oops:

I am a person with little patience also.

I have been fortunate enough to find a partner that has the very MOST patience.

What a great relief to my madness!

Having a partner with loads of patience seems like the way to go - to even out the rough edges among other things....;-)

I have slowly become sort of patient.
When I start getting tense I sometimes remember to sing a little song from Bullfrogs and Butterflies:
Be patient,
Be patient,
Don't be in such a hurry.
If you get
Impatient
You'll only start to worry.
