It wasn't until two months ago that I started to fully comprehend the agony that is called Atlanta traffic. I received a job off Peachtree Road in Bulkhead, and I made my hours start at 6:30 a.m. because I hate rush hour that much. I've seen many different types of traffic, but Atlanta is unique in its own and takes the thrown. Here are 12 reasons why Atlanta traffic is dreadful.

1. Construction

The construction is seriously never ending. They're always working on the roadways in what seems to be the same spot for the past ten years.

2. Yellow light

We all know yellow means go. And red...For at least five seconds after the light has turned red. It's also a known fact that all should wait in the middle of an intersection while your light is red so the opposing traffic can't get through.

3. The a**hole

We all know them. They either have the awesome, beautiful car...Or the shitty car with the loud motor that you can hear on the other side of I-20. He will cut everyone off just to get 15 feet ahead, and will exhilarate before he has to slam on his brakes because traffic is going 25 miles per hour, throwing up his hands in anguish and defeat.

4. The grandmother

And then there are the drivers who will literally stop in mid-traffic to let anyone over. They typically drive 10 miles under the speed limit and loves to break when someone 1,000 yards slight taps on the brakes.

5. Turn signals

What are turn signals? Non-existent. Just go ahead and cross over five lanes to make that exit; the ongoing traffic will figure it out, right?

6. Texting

It's illegal to text, unless it's really important. Also, you want to listen to your favorite song. But first, let's take a selfie. The amount of people on their phones on the interstate is disgusting.

7. Braves games, Falcons games or Hawks games

Tip to those who go to these games: take Marta. Trust me, you will either be at home, snuggling in bed or camping out at Turner Field

8. Pedestrians

Cross walks? Nope, they're just white lines. Go ahead and run across traffic. We'll all try to dodge you.

9. Accidents

That fender bender seriously just held up traffic and added 30 minutes to your commute. Because everyone has to slow down and look...Plus, there are about 20 plus accidents on the interstates in Atlanta a day, typically due to the assholes and the grandmothers.

10. Police

OH MY GOSH! There's a cop! Let's go 10 miles per hour under the speed limit and slam on our brakes to make it not look obvious.

11. Cutting off

Have you been waiting like a good little boy or girl to get through the exit from I-282 to I-400? Well, that guy waited maybe 30 seconds due to him cutting in front of all of us patient drivers.

12. Not letting anyone over

Want to turn left? That guy who is behind you in the lane you so desire to pursue doesn't think you deserve it. He just sped up to purposely pass you so you couldn't gain the amusement from passing him.

Atlanta traffic sucks, but we are all in this together. What else can you add to the list? Comment below!
