If you are more or less impatient in your daily life, it might be your brain. A psychology professor has found neurological differences in frontal lobe function between people who can maintain their composure and those who are more outspoken.
1. “My wife leaves the food like this after she takes it out of the oven and EATS it. We have children and a dog…”
2. “Someone took my bike and left one of the wheels.”
3. “My roommate throws out the dishes so she doesn’t have to do the dishes (I bought all our dishes and silverware).”
4. “All the places my wife keeps the toilet paper outside the holder.”
5. “Tough nuts…”
6. “I wanted to make poached eggs for breakfast. Turns out my wife baked them yesterday.”
7. “My mother ruined my screen because my dogs woke her up.”
8. “My brother poked through the ice cream to get all the candy.”
9. “I bought new colored pencils today and I saw this pencil label.”
10. “It’s -21 degrees and some kids just threw eggs at our house. They froze immediately.”
11. “I cut the crust off my child’s sandwich so he could eat the whole thing. I came back to this.”
12. “My McCheese snacks had no McCheese in them.”
13 “My brand new boots after 2 weeks of wearing them.”
14. “My flatmate hasn’t done the washing up for weeks, despite me asking him to several times, even though I loaded and unloaded the last 4 loads in the dishwasher”.
15 “I woke up to find my parents had removed my door. I asked them why and they replied ‘privacy is not necessary’.”
What would you do if you found yourself in one of these situations? Would you be able to keep your cool?
