Do these things make you crazy impatient?
Waiting in line
Getting stuck in traffic
Long car rides
Sitting through movies
Waiting for people to get to the point?
One reason why people with ADHD tend to be impatient is because of their hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness and nearly phobic fear of boredom. Even for the ADHD adult who doesn't have the hyperactivity/impulsivity component but instead is more inattentive, patience is often not a virtue typically seen.
If our bodies aren't hyperactive, our minds certainly are. And being stuck with nothing to do can be incredibly painful. Our minds are racing with thoughts and ideas, and we have little patience for people who might be on a slower energy track; whether it's mentally or physically.

I was about to conquer the world but then I got distracted by something shiny.
