Lol permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] steebo_jack@kbin.social 11 points 3 years ago Ah yah...lots of stupid drivers here just piss me off...lots of traffic compared to last year too... permalink fedilink source parent [–] fluxion@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago 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 permalink fedilink source parent [–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) 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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 19 points 3 years ago As someone who works a desk job, no, there are lots of idiots in those jobs, and lots of smart people digging ditches. permalink fedilink source parent [–] travysh@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent
