M: Yes, I sometimes act impatiently, honking my horn the moment the light changed, speaking sharply to someone slow to understand. We really should learn various approaches for calming ourselves in stressful situations. I have even found some books to help me. There is some useful advice.

M: Well, one of the books says that we should allow for marginal error.
F: What does that mean?
M: That means it is better to provide a margin for error. Impatient people don’t like to waste time, so they cut things too closely. For example, if you are going for an appointment, you should plan for delays.
F: Well...
