Depends on what kind of job your are applying for... If it is a customer service type job try answering that you tend to see and sympathize with the customer's point of view and get upset when you can't help them... This is exactly what they are hiring you to do anyways so it is not really a weakness..

The trick is to make your "weakness" sound like a stregth when it applies to the job you are looking to get

I think this is correct. At least it is what I do.

I think saying crap like "I just work too hard" sounds phony and more interviewers will see right through it.
