Whether you're a commuter, a driver, or a human being, odds are you have sat in traffic at one point in your life. It's an incredibly annoying experience, but everyone has gone through it.
Here are some thoughts that pop up in your head when you're stuck in traffic.
1. Oh no. Everyone's slowing down.
The initial sight of red brake lights ahead of you will scare you. Your car slows and eventually you slide to a stop.
2. Am I going to be late?
You either reserved time to sit in traffic, or you made no time for that because you were rushing out the door. Either way, you're looking at your clock wondering how long this traffic will be.
If it's going to take you too long to the point where you're going to be late, you'll have to text your boss or call the party that's currently waiting for you to show up.
3. Let's see what's on the radio.
You tune in to your usual first pick and there's a commercial, so you continue to browse around. If all else fails, there's always your phone for you to plug in. Any good song is going to pick up your spirits at this point because this traffic is terrible.
4. Oh what is that person doing next to me?
If you're anything like me, you love to people watch. It's one of the most fascinating things to do at times like these--especially when in the car. A car is someone's sanctuary, where they feel shielded from the outside world.
So when given a situation like this where you can observe this behavior, it can get interesting.
I've seen people browse their phone, eat, pick their nose, sing, and even sleep.
5. Oh good, we're moving!
Have we been in this spot too long? Oh god, you might be stuck here for a while.
6. Use your blinker!
Obviously cars were made with turn signals for a reason, so use them!
7. What if I just drove over these cars like a super car?
I wish transformers were real at this point.
8. Can I get off of this exit to get around this?
Come on, why can't this GPS be useful for once and actually tell me how to avoid this?
9. Why is this car in front of me braking for no reason?
You have three car lengths in front of you! Move before I get out of this car and hit you.
10. The middle lane is moving faster...
Let me just move right over here.
11. Please, please, for god sake, let me in.
I promise I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I need to get moving.
12. I made it!
Sorry, car behind me, but I'm already 30 minutes late to work.
13. And now the lane I came from is moving faster.
Why does God hate me? Please help, I need to get to work.
14. My foot is getting tired of hitting the brake pedal.
What if my foot falls asleep and I can't stop the car? That's it. I need to get out of here.
15. The flashing lights up ahead are coming closer.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
16. Yes people, there's an accident.
We get it. There's an accident. Just keep moving so we can unclog the road.
17. Okay I'm moving!
Stop honking at me!
18. I'm home free.
Thank god I'm out of there that was terrible.
