In reply to Steve from Arkansas. Haha, yes I do live in an actual city with traffic. My solution is to try and avoid getting in my car whenever possible :)

I’m trying to understand this post but I find it confusing. What is this traffic thing you are talking about? And what are the odds that you’d even see another vehicle on the road? Wait, are you telling me that you live where there are that many people all driving at once, that must be awful. I pretty much just have to worry about suicidal deer on the highway.

In reply to Tonya@Budget and the Beach. Busy is a terrible word. It means our life is out of control. Usually when we are "too busy" to do something what we really mean is that we have not made that something a priority. We blame business instead of ourselves. Amazing how walking or biking slows the world. This is an underappreciated life hack!

I think of this every day. It’s so easy to get caught up in being rushed. In fact I hate the word “busy” and try never to use it. I think we where it as a badge of honor. Although I’m in the corporate 9-5, I’m thankful I at least live 1.6 miles from my job and can walk or ride my bike. That helps slow things way down.

In reply to Mr. 1500.

I noticed no plastic testicles hanging from the truck, nor any objectionable stickers, although it was a bit dark…

If I encounter Monster Truck Man again I will be more observant and report back my findings.

Namaste.

In reply to ChrisCD. I used to be a little passive aggressive at times when driving frustrations struck me, but I've let this go. For me it feels like stepping into the same trap, although to a lesser degree.

Was the truck equipped with Truck Nutz? Decals depicting a cartoon boy pissing on the logo of a competing brand of truck? Vulgar bumper stickers? Massive wheels?

I can’t wait for the day when personal, autonomous electric aircraft become an affordable reality. I’ll soar over the sea of nutters contemplating the bright, blue sky: https://www.uber.com/elevate.pdf

Oh, and you’ll be able to identify my aircraft my it’s rubber balls. I’m working on developing this business after My FI Thongs gets up and going. But crap, AirNutz.com is already taken.

I don’t usually get road rage anymore, but do occasionally take the opportunity to mess with those that do. I usually do it in a semi-passive nature so I’m not obviously doing it and thus hopefully don’t end up in a dangerous situation. And unless you are driving 100s of miles, you really will only end up at most minutes sooner than you would have otherwise. As you state, it just isn’t worth it.

Living in the present slows everything down.
