Patience is indeed a virtue.
Some people are lucky in that virtually nothing gets on their nerves, and even if something does, they can control their temper and deal with it calmly.
Others, however, are not blessed with the gift of patience, and even the littlest things will completely and utterly set them off.
However, no matter where we stand on the patient level, we all have some things that truly get under our skin, and try as we might, find our temper going completely out of control.
Often resulting in groans from bystanders, who have trouble understanding if the reaction was merited.

And the best thing we can do is take a deep breath and try to move on.
As there are much more practical things we can direct our anger at.
