Hi pancakes – yes I know exactly what you mean. I try to occupy myself when in a line like that – I might read some comments on this forum on my ‘phone, or play a game on it, or try to think nice thoughts. I have to tell myself there’s a line and there’s no point in being impatient. Of course it doesn’t always work.
When I get ignored or someone is rude in that situation it’s always made worse if I am already irritated. I try not to respond now and console myself with the thought that they’re having a worse day than me and if they’re like that all the time then they’re just horrible people. Either that or I get really grumpy and then I have a worse day!
I take ritalin now and that med has helped enormously with all that kind of stuff. I expected it to help me in other ways like focus, but the biggest bonus is it reduces my impulsive irritability and impatience.
