Patience (07) / #100DaysToOffload

Following on from my last post about the (increased) noise on social media, there’s also an increase in the number of people who have forgotten what it means to be patient.

From the frustration of a queue to enter the supermarket (that didn’t use to have a queue, before social distancing), a longer-than-normal wait at the doctors or on a call centre support call, and to the speed at which a tweet or status update is taken out of context and escalated to a previously unknown level of anger or resentment or trolling.
