Apply tolerance

Hi

Is the red part natural English? I heard it on TV. It was something like this.

Yes, I know she can be very difficult at times. But what about you? Do you ever apply any tolerance?

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Tom Do you ever apply any tolerance ? I know that that expression exists in written texts, but I can't say that I've ever heard anybody say it.
