As most of you know, we have about a 35 minute commute to and from work each day. Some of you think we are crazy, some of you commute longer. We don't mind it at all to be honest. However, there is one thing that I do hate about the commute. It only happens about once every two weeks, but it annoys the holy hell out of me. It's when you come around a corner and all you see is a sea of red lights in front of you. Traffic comes to nearly a halt, people are diving off the nearest exit, some are jerking the wheel to take the "Authorized Vehicles Only" bypass between the North and Southbound lanes, and others are beeping and swearing as they call their boss to let them know they will be late. Nine times out of ten there isn't a god damned reason in the world why we aren't moving. Some days there is might be an accident on the northbound lane when driving south. I've seen times when a cop has a car pulled over to the side of the road (please note, nobody is in the road) and cars come to a screeching halt as they drive by. Construction will obviously cause a cluster fuck, but that is rarely ever the case. Today, I'm still not sure what happened.
The good thing is when you at least get to see something entertaining during your slow trip down the highway. Today it was this gem...
Or how about this one...
As annoyed as I was by the slow movement of traffic, this smoking car made me feel much better! Quick question... If your car is smoking like this, do you pull over and call for help, or do you pull into the breakdown lane and fly past everyone? This crazy chick was passing everyone on the inside, until traffic finally opened up (which we still have no idea why it was moving slow, there was absolutely nothing) and she pulled into the "slow" lane and continued down the highway. Screw that noise, I'm pulling my ass over and calling AAA! I'm just saying...
