I had to drive to and from an appointment twice today (drop off and pick up)(not a school) and I faced like… A dozen moments of aggression from other drivers. From being cut off, to being blocked from merging. Some dangerous, others harmless. Just a dozen pointless but intentionally rude moments. Usually I’m getting tailed on the road by huge trucks with bright lights, but today I was spared from that, so that’s kne thing to be grateful for. Fuck cars. I’m so done with driving, I haven’t been doing it for a decade yet and I’m exhausted with it.
Yikesaroni! Congrats on making it through.
I drive as little as I can these days, but I used to drive a lot in Chicago. Talk about aggression! It’s like a game everyone is playing and you get points by being the biggest asshole who.
I live in Portland now and driving here for the first time was a real eye-opener. Still terrible in it’s own ways! But at least the drivers seem to want to cooperate for safe trips all around, for the most part.
Fuck cars.
Oh wow! I wouldnt have guessed Portland would be any safer to drive than anywhere else, despite its reputation for being unique at… Well literally everything else. 😅
