We've all been there: After putting up with one thing for so long, you're suddenly like, "Yeah, you know what? I actually can't take this anymore." Very relatable!
U/SpicyHashbrowns recently asked the people of Reddit, "What is something you no longer have patience for?" At the very least, maybe it'll feel better knowing you're not the only one:
1. "Family drama."
2. "Working outside of work hours. I used to go above and beyond, now I only put in what is required. Life is too short to live only to work."
3. "Having to guess what people REALLY mean by something they said. I take everything people say at face value now and don't replay conversations in my head to find out the real meaning anymore. Be passive-aggressive if you want to, but talk to me like an adult if you really have a problem."
4. "People who text and drive. You're driving a giant piece of metal propelled by explosive liquid. Pay attention."
5. "People who attempt to force their beliefs and opinions on me."

6. "Waiting on people who are constantly late to plans. I will wait 15 minutes then excuse myself."
7. "People who can’t mind their fucking business and are always worried about what other people are doing. If it doesn’t affect you, fuck off. It’s literally free."
8. "Streamers screaming, losing their shit, breaking things, and having tantrums. I used to think this was so funny, but now I just can't stand it. I can't even watch a streamer if I notice they're not using their normal talking voice."
9. "Ads."

10. "People who smoke in non-smoking areas when there’s dedicated smoking areas. It happens often at work."
11. "Medicine commercials with worse side effects than what they're supposed to cure."

12. "People who litter."

13. "People who constantly blame others for the situation they are in."

14. "Anything that has 'influencer' in it."
15. "People being on their phone while in a conversation with you. Seriously. Put your phone away!"
16. "Poor communication. It is beyond irritating."
17. "Housing. So sick of it. Wish all short-term rentals would just go away and stop making it impossible for people to have basic shelter."
—u/Quixotic420
18. "I no longer have patience for slow Wi-Fi. Life is too short to wait for a buffering video or a webpage that takes ages to load. I mean, come on, it's 2023. I expect my internet to be faster than a sloth on Xanax. If my Wi-Fi doesn't get its act together, I might have to resort to carrier pigeons for my internet needs."
19. "People that go out of their way to pick fights with people, especially online. If you see something you don’t agree with, just move on — otherwise, you’re just wasting time and energy just because you think you’re right, which you might not even be and most likely will never change the person's mind. Also, if you try to make your point by insulting someone, you’ve already lost before you begun."
20. "Wasting time and energy on being angry."
