Nobody's perfect and everyone has those days when their patience becomes drained.

Everyone is likely to become impatient on occasions. But there may be serious consequences when bouts of impatience are an everyday occurrence.
Health risks: For one thing, impatience is linked to frustration, irritation, and even anger. Such emotions can raise our stress level, which in turn can harm our health.
Poor judgment: Impatience will cost you. It can cost you money, friendships, pain and suffering or any number of consequences simply because impatience is often followed by bad decisions.
Loss of friends: Impatience can damage our ability to communicate. When a person does not have the patience to engage in meaningful conversation, he tends to speak without thinking. He may also get annoyed when others speak. Such a person does not have the patience to wait for others to get to the point of what they are saying. So the impatient listener may tend to rush others into finishing their sentences by putting words in their mouth or may try to find some other way to hurry the conversation. This can cost and mar any relationship or friendship built.
