I find I'm less angry too. A lot of bad drivers out there. Lol

Ah yah...lots of stupid drivers here just piss me off...lots of traffic compared to last year too...

Just being stuck in traffic when you could be getting shit done is what gets me. Time/money/carbon emissions... just wasteful in every way

I have a theory about the increase of bad drivers that seems to have happened after the pandemic. So most of the higher paid desk jobs where usually people are more intelligent mostly went to WFH. So there are less intelligent people on the road than there used to be. So now it's all idiots in cars taking free reign of the roads. Less traffic causes the idiots to be able to more freely speed and run reds. I know since working from home I drive about 90% less and when I do I am scared for my life.

As someone who works a desk job, no, there are lots of idiots in those jobs, and lots of smart people digging ditches.

I'm lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.

During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I'll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.
