Jeff. Your attitude of entitlement and impatience will have some combination of the follow three effects in the future:
1) you will develop health problems from the constant tension you are keeping yourself under (possibilities include: ulcers, high blood pressure, indigestion, migraines, insomnia, depression, and possibly others)
2) you will annoy the people you want things from, causing them to dislike you, which could lead to degraded service, or can cause you to actually get the things you want
slower (for example, when you yell at the clerk about how long the line was after waiting at DMV, you will probably be kicked back to the end of the line).
3) you will be continually disappointed in life, and never truly happy. this will lead to troubles making or keeping friends or other relationships, and possibly an inability to hold jobs.
...none of the three possible effects is "
you get what you want faster"
.
Just something to consider. You may want to take up meditation or something to learn to relax, because
I've been just like you for quite a lot of my life(*), and the end result was only depression, pain, disappointment, and a life of ash where I could have had a life of flowers.

Think of some time you've tried to make something. Was there a time during that in which threats of violence would have made your work better? Would they have helped your attitude towards the person doing the threatening?
Even if we remove the threats as hyperbole: has someone screaming at you to "
work faster"
ever
actually made you work faster?

(*) see, I'm not insulting you or putting you down in any way, I'm talking from experience. I also suffer from high blood pressure, indigestion, and insomnia, and have been in and out of depression for some time.
