Traffic

Post by Lusankya »

On Thursdays I leave my house at 8:30 and arrive at Uni at 10 past nine.

On Fridays I leave at 8:40 and arrive at 9:00, travelling by the same route.

Go figure.

Edit - Changed the times to what I meant to put in, but was too absent-minded to put in properly.
It makes sense now.

When I leave for work at 8:29 everyday I always encounter heavy traffic of small fast moving furry animals most people would describe as *cute but I describe as *Damn dog get out of the way

Thereby I arive for work every day within 30 seconds at 8:30 depending on wieather or not that dog happens to be in the way

I have to spend one hour, in bumper to bumper traffic to get to uni by 8:30, while those sniveling, smilling show off bastards on motorcycles just zoom on buy in the freekin emergency lane!

It's just soooo tempting to just, say accidentally, open my door just as they are going buy! However I have decided to relent and purchase a bike myself... No more traffic!

If you want shitty traffic come check out the Bay Area in California.

I consider it a good day when it takes me 40 minutes to go 23 miles.

Bad days are around an hour and 10 minutes. And this is during a big recession for this area. Wait till the economy recovers.

I think the only places with worse traffic are big cities on the East coast like Boston and NY.

None of you will know the true horror and evil that is traffic until you traverse the Long Island Expressway during rush hour going into Queens.

Five miles, one and a half hours, guys.

Ok, it taking me 1 1/2 hour to get to my doctor's office or see a movie, under ideal conditions. It taking over SIX hours this week or during winter.
