What means: "just bare with me" at the telephone?

[pstein]

If someone says at the telephone:

"just bare with me"

what does that exactly mean?

[Pamela]

Hi pstein,

I guess you meant bear.

If somebody says on the telephone 'bear with me', he apparently means to wait a little bit.

I agree with Pamela that the spelling should be 'bear'.

To me, "just bear with me" means "be patient (with me)"

Hi Pstein,

In addition to Pamela's and Amy's answers I'd like to point that your question should read: What does "bear with me" mean?

Hi Amy,

I know the meaning of the expression in question but if someone asks on the telephone:
Oh, Jack, just bear with me while I am sending a message to my sibling.
To me, wait and be patient (with me) are almost synonymous in the given context. What do you think?

[Yankee]

Hi Pamela

Yes, when you ask someone to be patient with you, that often involves waiting -- patiently waiting.

I added my post because to me the expression "bear with me" is less strongly connected with the idea of waiting, and more strongly connected with being patient with, putting up with, or indulging someone. In my opinion, the fact that the context is a telephone conversation doesn't really impact or change the meaning of "bear with me".
