"Do you get more or less tolerant the older you get?
"
Less.... much less 
As the old dear in the queue for coffee will confirm she decided to moan at me that she didn't like the slow service. Instead of just nodding and smiling and letting her moan I suggested she take her custom elsewhere
And then there was the grumpy staff member in Morrisons. ...
And the unfriendly member of staff in the shoe shop who I told off |

Certain things More so far, I'm far more chilled out than I was 10 yrs ago as a teen.
But I find I have far less tolerance of human stupidity and ignorance in regard to animal welfare, the longer I'm involved with rescues and animal charities. |

I understand issue specific intolerance.

"Much more tolerant, I am a nicer person now than 20 years ago I understand things better and realise my life was very narrow before. 
Is that because of your son?
"
Very much so..
I have learnt so much from him . The bigotry cruelty unkindness that people feel the right to give out. He is such a wonderful person kind and caring.
I understand now how hard life is for Gay's in the early years.

"More and less tolerant. Probably largely much more tolerant. I don't waste time and energy on stuff or people that aren't important, though that's about wisdom, and less about tolerance."
That sounds very sensible and wise.

Once they've put the cones out they need to to wait for the shovel instructions to arrive. One thing at a time.

"I'm almost 29.. 10 yrs ago I was 18, a teenager... 
That's when I was thinking of, started in care work then, and learnt much more patience and tolerance.x "
19 is still a teen but I understand what you mean.
I have been working 6 years longer than you've been alive, so I may have to change my mind about tolerating you young 'uns.

More tolerant, priorities change and I don't get worked up about things I have no influence over.
When I was young I thought I knew everything, now it seems I don't know that much at all, but I,m happy in my own skin.
Content, would sum it up. |

Content is a good place unless it become contentious.
On a side note, where is your tickly bit? |

I kinda guess when we are young it's a natural impulse to shout loudly about things in life we feel passionate for .....
I did a lot of frustrated shouting when I was younger,,,,,

"I seem to get less angry about things I can't control and have learnt which battles to fight and which ones I walk away from.
Smile and wave. Smile and wave! "
Rictus smile here with a very flappy wave.

"you know your getting old when your wife asks you...
''do you want to go upstairs and have sex?''
and you reply...
'' love my back wont take both...''"
That's totally unacceptable from a 22 year old!  |

I would say, less tolerant about some things, but much more so in other ways. I have way more patience than I used to with lots of tasks that I used to hate doing, but still do not suffer fools gladly. I am more straight talking now too, I say it rather than think it. |

Much less in many ways and much more in others .
Sexually my tolerance is now way higher regarding the tastes of others compared to 5 years ago before we started swinging .
On every other level it's way lower , my ability to recognise a twat is heightened , and my tolerance to the said twat is zero .

Patience, that helps a lot.

Have you issued a region-wide twat warning? |

Oh this is a tough question, I've become slightly more tolerant of some things, but in general my tolerant levels have always been low, Luke is the opposite to me and is pretty tolerant of most things! |

When I was younger I was too shy for my own good and non confrontational so I would have seemed very tolerant.
As I've got older I've become much better at dealing with situations of all sorts. Sometimes these require tolerance but sometimes not!
Have I answered your question?

"Do you get more or less tolerant the older you get?
"
Cue unhelpful answer...
In some ways more, in some ways no change and in some ways less.
I've less tolerance for bullshit and being messed around than I've ever had before. And I didn't have much to start with.
I have more patience and tolerance when driving. Idiots make me roll my eyes, but I let them head off to their next accident rather than getting enraged. |

Young for me, meant stupid, unthinking and selfish. Therefore intolerant. Old(er): less stupid, think more, attempt selflessness. Still intolerant but only of those that will not tolerate me. |

That's up to you. I'm just posing a thought.
True it hatched thinking about the railing at things by young people and the railing at things by older people and wondering whether we become less intolerant and whether there is a middle phase of tolerance.

"Im more patient..but less tolerant of bullshit"
Yup, I'd say the same - more tolerant with genuine effort or real friends, but less tolerant of bullshit and particularly disrespect.
"I'm not more 'moody' I'm just less inclined to put up with your bullshit!"
