As an employee of da Department of Natural Resources, da perpetually-hotheaded Bob Stuyvesant would likely have major "angler-management issues", both in his manner while fumingly waiting for said stream-bases sportsmen to hunt through their backpacks to locate their paperwork, and bawlingly lamenting about "da one dat got away" --- i.e., da occasional rod-and-reel wielder who managed to slither off before da overzealous-and-obsessively-by-da-book Bob could have a chance to check his catch or ask to see his license.

Get the angler-management issuesmug. Tevye and his fellow "Yiddishmen" were so "imparverished" largely due to their obsessively following da foolish and woefully-outdated "Old Testament" ways ("Tradition!") of their equally-closed-minded-and-clueless forebears.

While it's completely true that it is indeed unhealthy for everyone involved if someone cannot display a reasonable degree of calmness when having to postpone financial gain/reimbursement, the opposite "extreme" can also be used abusively, as well --- in other words, the person(s) responsible for doling out said greatly-desired funds to the aggravated-with-the-delay individual can invalidly identify the person's tearful foot-tapping as "impaytience", when in reality it HAS INDEED been an unreasonably-long period of time that said person has been waiting for his promised cash-reward, and so he could NOT reasonably have been expected to just placidly wait that long.

Get the impaytiencemug. The act of not requiring someone to bid one or more other humans farewell if doing so would be too emotionally distressing. Or the uncomfortable person himself decides to just "sneak out early" before others are awake to observe his departure, so that he doesn't have to endure the whole "long tearful parting" crap that would otherwise be "socially mandatory" if the other folks knew he was leaving.
A prime example of "waiving goodbye" is related in the classic "origin of the yodel" joke: the traveler heads out "at first cock's crow" from the farmer's barn where he'd been sleeping overnight, so that there wouldn't be any embarrassing --- and possibly dangerous! --- explaining to do if the farmer's wife and/or daughter decided to do any joyful "crowing" of their own about the wonderful things that the traveler had performed with his own "cock" on them the previous evening when they had separately gone out to the barn to bring him food and wine for his supper.

Get the waiving goodbyemug. Indijestion can be triggered by at least two different situations, either from laughing too hard --- or for too lengthy a period --- at other people's humor, or from telling/composing your own jokes for too long a time.

Get the indijestionmug. Due to all of the muddy and cabinet-battering misadventures that he often goes through, R2D2's beeps and trills occasionally become a bit irregular. so his vocally-emotional copper-jacketted friend performs C3PR on him to "even things out" again.
