Hi all, The "patience statement" as I call it, used to get on my nerves. Now, I just answer what I see as the issue: "Actually, I do lace and needlework because I don't have the patience to sit doing nothing or to sit in front of a television." I then go on to explain that if I sit in front of the television with nothing to do, I tend to be asleep very quickly! (I don't usually admit it, but I don't go to the movie theater for the same reason!).
To me, patience is what you need when time seems to slow down to a crawl. You need patience to wait in line (I bring a book or tatting) or in a doctor's office, you need patience to sit and wait for something to happen, at home or anywhere else. When I have something to do, then the time goes by quickly, and I don't have to access my limited supply of patience. In fact, I am not patient, but books, needlework and lace make the time go by and keep me from getting bored, thus requiring no patience whatsoever.
