#3: Impatient George!

George Costanza has many character traits but to me the one that stands out the most is his impatience. In almost every episode his impatience and short temper is displayed in some way or another. Whether he is quick to snap at people or annoyed with others incompetence, it is almost always apparent the George is an impatient man. This is shown in many episodes including "The Bubble Boy" and "The Chinese Restaurant." In "The Bubble Boy," when George is playing Trivial Pursuit with the kid in the plastic bubble he quickly becomes impatient and attacks the kid over a wrong answer. In "The Chinese Restaurant" the subplot where George is waiting for the telephone, he again becomes extremely impatient. Once complaining about the first man who used the telephone for 10 minutes, he expected to be the next in line. Little did he know a lady grabbed it before he got to it. This led him to be even more impatient. The whole subplot he was complaining about how he should have gotten to use it first. An example of an impatient character in a more recent sitcom is Doug Heffernan from "King of Queens." He is constantly getting testy and impatient with his wife, Carrie, and her father Arthur. Just like George it only takes minutes for him start to fuss.
