Who is more impatient and irritable, men, or women?

Are men more impatient than women? They are in the supermarket, especially in the self-checkout lanes. When the (female) automated voice comes on, telling them to place their items in the bagging area, or telling them that their card has been declined, they are more likely than women shoppers to become irritated. Women, on the other hand, are more likely to react anxiously, especially when the automated voice tells them their card is being declined. They worry that they have been spending too much money, and how will the husband react when he finds out?

Maybe it depends on the setting. At the trout stream, where the man is casting a fly over and over, and the trout are not biting, he will just aim it in a different area of the stream, or go to his tackle box and try another type of fly. This might go on for hours, with no sign of annoyance or impatience on the part of the guy.

Unless the woman is Webutante, she is more likely to be sitting under a shade tree near the stream reading the latest vampire book or romance novel, or watching the kids play.
