When I get the "patience" question while demonstrating, I will sometimes ask the person what they do to relax. If they tell me some form of handwork, I will tell the person that lace works the same way for me as perhaps knitting or quilting for them. For those who tell me "computer games" or "sports" (I had one woman tell me she jogged to relax - *shudder*), activities that would make me crazy, I will look at them with amazement in my eyes and explain that their favorite activity would be the thing I would least like to do. I think it makes them re-evaluate, realize that people have differing opinions on what "takes patience" or what is "fun".
