As I got older I became more aware of the words those use who actually get things done.  "Sure" is a prime indicator of 'don't count on me.'
Those who do not ask, 'When, where, how long, date, time," are also those who indicate 'time hole ahead.'
As 'older' becomes my identity, such knowledge allows me to embrace proper expectation and avoid the emotion roller coaster of disappointment.
If I recognize these things in the agent on the other side, I know I will be doing MORE work. Crying won 't help.

I have only one pet peeve and sadly, it infringes into all aspects of life:  People who will not do their job.    Not "can't" but WON'T !!  Whether it be laziness, arrogance, entitlement, lack of respect for themselves and others? . . .  whatever the reason, it drives me crazy! I want to say, Step aside and let someone who wants to work have the job

* Poor communicators - In every aspect of our business.

* Lazy, 'do-it-for-me' people - Those who say they can't do something but, really, they don't even want to try...they'd rather waste someone else's time!

* Braggadocious people - Most people acknowledge these folks out of courtesy but, truly wish they didn't have to!

* Name-droppers - Same as braggadocious - people just really don't like them. They think they are better than everyone else - and we all know they're not even in the same league as everyone else!!

I am more tolerant of some things, but less tolerant of others. 

I am more understanding that not everyone has the same level of commitment and that is OK.  Not everyone wants to be the best at everything they do and that is OK.  Some things that I take very seriously, others are doing as a hobby, and that is OK.

On a similar vein, I'm more tolerant of mistakes.  You can tell if this mess-up is a fluke or someone's way of being based on their history.  For example, if you have a history of showing up on time, but you are 20 minutes late once - I'm more tolerant of that than I was 20 years ago.  I have learned that none of us is perfect.  On the other hand, if you show up 20 minutes late all the time, I've become less tolerant of that.  I've learned that that is basically an indicator of respect (or lack of) and I've lowered my tolerance for that.

Lack of cooperation and common courtesy, lazy incompetence, those who do not return phone calls. There is no place for that in our industry and yet it continues, often placing the burden on one side to get to a successful end!
