“Tender the goods to me immediately!
I’ve no time for your excuses!
I want the merchandise now,
wanted it weeks, months, years ago, in fact!”
Such a conversation may get the goods,
but it will burn all our bridges in the process!
Patience is always best, though it can be difficult.
I guess that’s why they say
Patience is a virtue!

Tactfulness is a dying art. In all things, be kind.
I just read a meme that said patience is not the ability to wait but how you act while you’re waiting. Sums it up.
I’m the one who is the patient one in my household and I know it’s unnerving to the others.
