Please don't be driven to force me to do something I don't want to do, don't have time for, and have a WHOLE lot of other priorities in life that I consider so vastly more important than patching a tube. What is it with the "fix your own tube" religion, anyway?
Well, the reason I fix tubes is simple, a tube costs $4, a patch costs 4 ¢ so, yeah I'm cheap, and when the alternative is cleaning the garage. Mind you I always buy new tubes with new tires, and the old ones get checked over, no leaks, they go in the spares pile. Currently there is a spare on each of my bikes, a spare on the wife's bike, and two extras in the shed...
