For every saint-like human being dancing through life, there are at least five of us who are just trying to get through the day without committing murder. Here are the top 15 signs that you fall into the latter category.
1. Other drivers are the bane of your existence.
You find yourself stuck behind a slow moving large vehicle, or a cautious sedan cruising around on a workday morning, and suddenly you realize that you've been plotting the driver's death for the past 10 miles. You're about to attempt NASCAR-esque moves just to get around this person, and you know for a fact you're going to be late and it's all their fault. When you finally do get a chance to pass them, you give them the stare down.
2. People who tell long stories are literally torturing you.
Your best friend is trying to tell you about this hilarious thing that happened recently, and all you can think about is when will this story end?! When people try to describe anything to you in detail you find yourself fighting back the urge to interrupt. The entire time. No matter what the story is about, once you've been listening for more than five minutes it takes some serious self-control to be cool.
3. When your friend can't decide what to order at a restaurant, you nearly lose your mind.
You glare across the table as he or she stares at the menu, torn between the caesar salad and a burger. Each time you think the decision is made, they change their mind. Suddenly, you find yourself gripping your menu and trying desperately to help them choose because if they send that waiter away one more time...
4. When someone with more than 15 items jumps in the express register line, you actually consider dropping everything and coming back later.
Maybe you're grabbing a few things for dinner, or maybe you're stopping by to pick something up to bring to your friend's place. No matter what the reason, when you've collected everything you need and you're hovering at the 15 items or less register, you seriously think about running out the door when you see the person ahead of you lining up well over 20 items on the conveyor belt.
5. When you have a question in class and the professor calls on someone else first -- and they decide it's story time right then and there -- you freak out.
You have a serious question about the assignment, but your professor calls on the guy in the front of the room first and he decides to tell a long-winded story about something you just have no time for. The professor is engaged, though, and now you're waiting for their long discussion to end before you can figure out if you need two sources or three for your paper.
6. People who interrupt you to ask questions you were just about to answer drive you crazy.
As you're explaining something to someone, they cut you off to ask something that you were just about to talk about. It's mind-numbing, and you find yourself fighting back a really, really snide comment before you can even respond.
7. You're ready to go at least a half an hour before you have to leave, and you're sitting at your house just counting the seconds before you can walk out the door.
Be there at 5:30 p.m.? Okay, I'll be ready by 4 p.m and feeling a little anxious about getting out the door around 4:05 p.m.
8. You fast-forward through long intros when listening to music.
Beautiful 30-second-long musical score? Nah, I think I'll skip it and get right to the lyrics.
9. When your Netflix binge is taking too long to load, you click "refresh" at least 10 times.
This movie needs to load in, like, five seconds or it's not even worth it. Wait, maybe if you exit Chrome and restart it'll go faster? Nope. Okay, let's try another movie. Nope. Okay, let's refresh again.
10. Time- consuming projects are just not your thing.
This is the most obvious sign that you have no patience. Basically anything that takes longer than a few minutes to figure out/assemble is something you're not interested in. Whether that be a particularly difficult math problem or a spreadsheet on how to set up a kitchen table, if it looks like it'll take a while you're already pissed. IKEA, we're looking at you.
