To a point. Even all of the empathy in the world sometimes isn't enough.

I’m patient when I’m paid to be (during work) and an impatient asshole outside of work. 

I use up all my empathy on dumbass buyers who drag out signing contracts, and the ones that “want to test one more thing”. So, I have none left for every day life.

I'm very patient, until the final part where I get too excited and sometimes ruin it.

I'd say I am not patient at all. I temper it by always working a lot of different deals. I'm able to be more patient by knowing that momentum is always heading in the right direction.

I'm patient getting the deal.
I'm highly impatient waiting in lines.

All things work related, yes I'm patient. Outside of work? Hurry the fuck up.

I'd say, in general, we are. There's always the exception, that one person (or type) that pushes your buttons but that's manageable.

We have to be. But from the outside, people don't think we are.
