Not at all? very short fuse? moderate?


I used to get pissed quick, but I've been much better about it over the years..


Tonight I was holding the steering wheel a little tight after about half hour of going 2 miles


how are you in traffic?

Also have Sirius XM, so just sitting there doesnt bother me that much if I'm stuck in a traffic jam. I do tend to get a little pissy when I drive though if its just one ahole holding me up.

I live like 3 minutes away. I sometimes go home to drop off packages during the day

If I'm going TO work, I don't care about delays at all.

If I am coming home, the slightest hiccup can send me over edge.

I like driving. I find it relaxing. I don't commute every day though so I guess it could get old. Running up to a client's office is like 45 minute round trip. If I time it wrong it ends up being twice that. It doesn't really bother me much though. I just roll down the windows and turn up the radio.

Ugh I couldn't do a daily 45-50 minute commute one-way. When I bought my place, I made sure that it was a 15-minute drive to work, even with bad weather and roads. Now it's a 5 minute walk to work, which is utterly luxurious.

Anyway, to answer your question, I'd be raging by about 20 minutes in.
