What is the one thing (if anything) will you tolerate from people?
I find my tolerance level is rather low in my advancing years....an example of mine is lying. I used to just let things slide, now I have a 3 strike rule x |

I tolerate anything from those with the inability to help themselves. We can't all be perfect and some of those who cannot help their ways have other highly admirable qualities.
e.g. I have a friend who is a moaning pain in the arse but he's intelligent, funny, sexy, generous, loyal, reliable, steadfast , good to look at , great cock ....
Long may he moan I say.
I wouldn't tolerate something that was harmful to me in any way. |

Sometimes you don't know that the first time is a lie though. |

It depends who it is and what the lie is. I'm more likely to forgive close family and friends than someone new in my life.
A new person in my life, one lie is enough for me to walk away.
Other things like, if I've noticed behaviour that makes me anxious, I've communicated that to them but they still do it, then I don't give a second chance.

I've usually found out the truth by the 3rd strike.

"I think iv gone the opposite way as iv aged iv far mor patience i think its cos i dont much care about most things anymore tho"
You do care. You've just realised that there is very little in life to raise a sweat or worry over......
The chill years

I'm pretty tolerant to most things regarding social friends as i don'thave a level of investment in them per se, if it causes me angst then I walk away and shut that door immediately.
Inner circle wise, I'll let anything slide in the moment, because we all have off days and we all know that there will be a family discussion about it  |

So basically by the time you figure out there is one lie they have probably reached 3. So its a one strike rule |

I don't think I'm all that tolerant but then I also can't be arsed dealing with certain things so I inactivity tolerate them.
So I'm a lazy intolerant mess |

I am amazingly pragmatic and resilient and can forgive almost all things with time and reflection.
I find i sometimes have unrealistic expectations and standards of people and when they fail those, it takes me a little while to get back to normal
But on the whole I'm tolerant of most things, except you know the standard racism, bullying etc |

I give them 3 strikes to come clean if not then I am done with them. |

I guess it depends on where you allocate people relative to the tolerance you afford them. Nothing is quite as black and white as we'd like to think.
No one is perfect and sometimes their position or behaviour can be the result of surroundings rather than deep rooted malice. People can change and it's nice to afford people that flexibility to do so.
That being said, dishonesty and cruelty, those things really are lines in the sand that when seen, get logged and remembered. If you can treat them in such a way, I'm surely not far behind. |

I have no tolerance for arrogance. If people don't talk/treat me the way in which they would like to themselves then they are told to 'go away' and try again later!  |

... I agree that advancing years have brought on decreasing tolerance.
One of my current gripes are those people that speak as if they are an expert on a topic - but basically they haven't got a clue. I used to just ignore them - now I feel more likely to challenge them
