Traffic!

Sooner or later we'll all have to face it, the horrors of every day traffic jams and a commute that doesn't seem to end. How do you deal with it? Do you simply accept that it is unavoidable, or are you the type who bitches about the same traffic jam every day, who is increasingly impatient and aggressive? Or do you prefer it all together by using public transport (if possible)?

I work in Brussels, so traffic jams have become a way of life. I just have to take one look outside in the morning to check the weather to know at what exact point I will get stuck these days. For the past months they were also working on the highway, so an average of an hour and a half for 20km was unavoidable. That being said, I have quite the short temper early in the morning, especially when I see traffic lining up in front of my door, so I tend to be a bit edgy early on. I know that there's nothing you can do about it, but it still helps to relieve some stress to bitch about it, or at the very least to get rid of my bad morning temper. Luckily I work long hours, so by the time I get back in the evening there's little traffic.

Unexpected traffic jams still manage to annoy me the most. The other day I was going home at 11 PM, and it took me two hours to drive the 20km distance, simply because some asshole couldn't manage to avoid a truck, blocking the entire road. You can see that everyone's on an edge in such a situation, and some people manage to get very impatient or aggressive, which really doesn't solve anything, but you simply can't help it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
