Most issues in the world can be traced back to selfishness.
6 months ago I stopped doing shift work and now drive in traffic morning and afternoon for my work commute. I quickly learned that travel time is what it is so just pick a lane and cruise to work or home. I don't glue myself to the car in front. I let people in from side streets etc. I leave plenty of gap in front. I get to work or home much more relaxed.
I look around and everyone else seems to always be in a hurry. I call them 'hurry up and stop' drivers. As soon as the car in front moves, they're on it, then on the brakes 2 seconds later... Can't seem to lift their eyes and see beyond the windscreen. Rather amusing really.
Another theory of mine is that the a large percentage of people just suck at maths. So many are convinced that getting stuck behind a slower car, or at a set of traffic lights for eg, is costing them large chunks of time when in reality it can be measured in seconds. |
Where I work, I now work dayshift 6 to 2, what I find amusing the guys who knock off at 2, once they get in their cars it is a race from car park onto the road, and off they go. I never seen this before and it's got me stuffed why the rush, can't be bothered to ask as I know I'm going to get some stupid answer.
Like you I just take my time being relaxed and knowing most of them are just beating me by a few more minutes getting home.
