Have You Got Less Tolerant as You Grow Older or More Tolerant?

[Pyrotequila]

Much less tolerant, especially with time wasting in any form.

Tolerant of what?  Women are still told to sit down, be quiet and accept what makes them uncomfortable, or what they disagree with, although of late it often comes with a demand to 'be kind' or face the consequences.  No.

Tolerance is massively overrated, in my opinion.

 

Being honest is much more important.

 

That often involves being intolerant to some people.

More tolerant than I probably should be.

 

Like almost 7 and half years ago I lost a very good voluntary job because a "colleague" called me a "deaf C U Next Tuesday" when he thought I couldn't hear him and I actually DID hear what he said, 6 months previous I'd have belted him, I just walked away and said I'd remember that.

I am more tolerant in some circumstances . But ,I am less tolerant of a lot of situations now .For example , the "woe is me lot " . People who just think about nobody but themselves .To name but a couple

Probably less tolerant since retirement.
In a work environment, as well as one of my outside interests (motorsport), I felt the need to always act professionally.

Part of that was not arguing about stuff to which I strongly objected, as that wasn't why I was employed; it seemed more appropriate to either bite my lip somewhat, or occasionally gently to offer an alternative perspective.

Now I'm more free to chose with whom I associate, and am much more prepared to call out most of the "isms" which I personally find offensive; racism, religious hatred, sexism, etc.

More generally I'm able to speak out against those folk who seek to pick on others, as a means of dividing, rather than uniting society.

My circle of contacts is now smaller than previously, but rather less stressful.

I've always been tolerant Helen.

Always act daft (Which I'm quite skilled at)

Then it all changed when I was struck down by the "Fray Bentos Syndrome"

It's not funny Rich.

I love a Fray Bentos steak and kidney pie.

My larder was full of them, But then I found it was easier to get into Fort Knox than get into a Fray Bentos pie.

They've completely wrecked two new tin openers, I've tried every thing, hammers, chisels, drills, saws, screwdrivers, pliers, you name it, I've tried it.

Mi kitchen was like an operating theatre.

So now every time I see a Fray Bentos pie I go into a frenzy.
