Impatience arises when we start having expectations about people, things and the future generally. If we stop judging people and try to focus on their positive qualities this helps us have less expectations and so our patience increases. Also try to rest in the present as much as possible. Focus on what you are doing moment to moment - like the Zen master Suzuki Roshi said, "When we eat we eat, when we sleep we sleep". I agree that metta meditation helps us to feel good about other people and therefore have less expectations of them.
