Patience of a saint?

  Sometimes my wife gets annoyed with idiots. She even loses her temper a little bit about that as well sometimes. I have no problem with that though. The reason why? There are so many freaking idiots in the world that my wife makes a saint look impatient. There are people she talks to with clear problems in their lives and obvious solutions to those problems. She will talk to and gently guide those people to do the right thing. Do they listen? Like hell they do. I really think that to get through that my wife is far more patient than I am in that respect. If I run in to people like that I tend to ignore them. She will spend hours, sometimes days, trying to help these people though. All for no thanks and no realisation on the other persons side that they have been helped. In the few instances where someone does what my wife suggests and it works out they other person also rarely thanks my wife. So to my wife, on behalf of all idiots out there, I say thank you.
