Saying "real quick" after an hour long task does not make it any quicker, nor does it make the task APPEAR any quicker.
"We" is plural; as in "me AND you." Using this word when not including yourself is incorrect, improper and missleading. Even though it is intended to evoke team spirit, unity and solidarity, it fails in all of the above intentions when the person talking does not contribute. It feels more respectful and less condescending if you just say "you."
Saying "thank you for your patience" when the person has, had and will have no patience is condescending. It does not convince either party that anyone is or was patient.
