Are you willing to share? Here are mine, at least from my viewpoint.

  • I'm impatient. It has gotten better since I've retired, but I still get impatient when things aren't going to schedule.
  • I always drive above the speed limit, and I get very irritated when I see people poking along or doing stupid things in traffic.
  • I'm a bit OCD. I like to have everything in its proper place. I don't like dirty dishes in the sink. Things need to be put away after they're used. We have cats that track litter, so I vacuum every day.
  • I'm not as good a listener as I should be. I sometimes find myself talking more than I should. I'm working on that because I truly do care about my friends. As the old saying goes, "the most interesting people are those who are interested in others".
  • I'm a bit of a Prima Donna. I don't like to be inconvenienced by unexpected events that take me out of my expected routine.
I'm sure there are many more. I will need to talk with my hubby. I'm sure he can come up with a few more. ;)
 

I'm irritable. People and things get on my nerves. I try not to show it. I'm getting better at that.

I'm a lousy housekeeper. Apparently you have found that elusive silent vacuum @dseag2 if you vacuum daily. 🤣 My cats would not be amused.

I procrastinate. I could be doing something more useful, more often. I'm trying to work on that. Did some useless crafting today and started two books.
 
Impatience is one. Especially in the shopping aisles when I'm just in to grab a couple of things, and there are a group of people yakking in the middle, having a catch up! Arrrgh! I think injustice is another...if anything makes me flare up in temper it's when I see it happening to others or to me.

You think sarcasm is a bad attribute? Oh my word, no....it's one of the best virtues a person can have, seriously. Withering sarcastic remarks are my forte (when deserved, of course...) :D
 
I'm very impatient... typically Aries...I'm better than I used to be but still it irritates the heck outta me if I'm kept waiting ...

I talk too much.. dunno if that's a negative but it probably is... ... and I'm quick tempered, haten to add, not bad tempered, but get on my bad side, and you'll know it fast... but it's over fast too...
 
I'm a nervous wreck and I can't calm down. My outer body shakes and so does my insides. I can hide it pretty good some of the time, but not all of the time. I get impatient fast, waiting makes me nuts. I do brave things, but mostly out of fear. Nervous wreck, that's me.
 
Mine is I tolerate too much that I shouldn't.. but from my viewpoint/experiences the reason it's such a bad characteristic is it gives people the wrong ideas.. they either think I'm a wimp who's afraid to speak up, or that I'm o.k. with whatever the situation is..
Neither is accurate. Depending on person/situation, reasons I often don't speak up when I should range from being so stunned by what someone does/says it's like I've been hit in the stomach with a brick and lose the power of speech, to being flat-out confused about a situation, to the approach if someone's a jerk they're a jerk and nothing I can say/do will make a difference.
 
Worst qualities? There are many, being a type A, OCD person, I've always expected too much from others, but I've mellowed with age..... over thinking, impatient, quick to judge, not opening up to others, afraid of what others think to name a few.
 
I am rotten, think I own the world, can't understand why people are so caring about everything and won't become involved in someone else's problems. I'm not interested in what people think and shun their advice. I ignore most people, even people I know because I think they are too needy. AND I have no interest in changing.
