Re: When the better tries to force the caller\'s decision.
[ QUOTE ]
When you know your hand is good, you're getting the pot either way, so you're less likely to be annoyed that your opponent is taking a long time.

Nothing is certain, but assuming we are talking about weak players (since a strong player wouldn't impatiently try to get his opponent to act)... it is more likely if he is actually impatient that he is on a bluff or has a weak hand.
When weak players have strong hands, they tend to take their time about it because they think it looks pretty, they know they have a good hand, they don't really care whether or not the guy calls, and want to appreciate and feel the glory of their "good luck."
On the same line of thinking, when they don't have a hand and are trying to buy the pot... they want it over with quickly because it's ugly, they actually aren't yet sure they are going to win (and want to know immediately) and possibly because they want to get to the next opportunity where they actually have a hand.
