The person who is always in a hurry! #1 (permalink) Sat Jun 17, 2006 21:34 pm   The person who is always in a hurry!
 

Hello everybody

I would like to know " the term/ name/ noun" for the person who seems to be always in a (terrible) hurry, and does everything hurriedly (and sometimes makes a mess too).The example is following.

I do not think the term impatient would qualify for such a definition. What do you think? :D

1- My boss is such a -----------. He is always making me
nervous.

Thanks

Tom

Too many qualifications, I think, Tom. For partial qualities, you might try

Noun:

eager beaver
headless chicken
worry wart

Adj:

frenetic
panic-stricken
hasty
impetuous
