N a t i o n a l___I m p a t i e n c e___D a y
I hereby call for a National Impatience Day.
If while waiting in traffic at a stoplight, when the light turns green, and the person in front of you hasn't gone within 5 seconds, you may, with all good feeling, lay on the horn and yell at the driver to Go!
If, while in a restaraunt, your waitperson does not take your drink order right away, you may complain to the manager. Let alone if they don't take your food order in a timely manner. If the food isn't forthcoming, you may leave your table, make your way to the kitchen, and dress down the cooks.
All the high maintenance people in your life. While they are being difficult, you may raise your hand and tell them to talk to it. You may reflect their difficultness (complain about your coworkers, the boss, the working conditions) and even give them the finger behind their back.
If you're studying for a test, and the knowledge is not exactly forthcoming, you may drop the manual or textbook you're reading, or you may cease writing the paper you're preparing, and then you may completely drop the ball and not keep pressing on. Feel free to drink heavily instead and invite friends over for an impromptu party.
Make up your own National Impatience Day instances. Be a freestyler! It may involve your spouse, your siblings, your children, your boss, your pastor, your dry cleaner.
The key is to live in the moment and the moment only. If the moment isn't happening the way it should, feel free to intervene and make a scene about it.
