Slightly Offensive Depending…

I was at The Coup, my favourite restaurant in Calgary, one of the only places in the city that feel like home, and the following conversation took place.
Her, “I sometimes, right around the time of my monthly flow, tend to lose patience with people. I have to actually stop myself and ask people to start speaking all over again so that I can try to treat them with some patience.”
Me, “I once did this ski marathon (I did not specify half a marathon) and the most important lesson from a past participant was if something is wrong stop right away and fix it, don’t put up with it for even a minute. That’s not to say there aren’t some parts of it where you feel like you’re trudging on, but with so many factors that you can’t control you have to fix the things you can.”
Her, “I get it, that makes sense, but where are you going?”
Me, “Well, it’s the opposite of patience you’re actually choosing to never put up with a problem, patience implies that you are waiting for something but real people don't wait.”
Her, “Yes, and…”
Me, “Well patience is just something that real people pretend to show people who aren’t quite fully human when they want them to leave them alone.”
Her, “What!?”
Me, “Well you were totally late tonight but I never checked my watch, because I was sitting down enjoying the vibe here and feeling at home. Somebody else would’ve have been checking their watch, sending text messages and trying to exercise some control when everything was already perfect. I remember my buddy dumping one of his girlfriends and using an analogy along the following lines, ‘we’re like two people sitting on a park bench on a beautiful starry night and you’re feeling like you’re wasting your time and I’m just enjoying the night.’ When we show people ‘patience’ we are really just doing whatever we have to do to extract ourselves from the situation, ‘yes, you’re right, I’m sorry,' are just things we do to get people to go away.”
Her, “Yes, I get it now, I guess you’re right."
