[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me or are DC drivers worse than other areas of the country, even urban ones?  People are rude, deliberately ungracious, etc.  I get that this happens everywhere, but in general it just feels more stressful and unpleasant around DC.  It might be just a higher number of lawyer/government assholes ruining it for everyone.  [/quote]

24YO here and people in general are just ruder and meaner in this area. I feel like I've become a nastier person just from living here. People suck. [/quote]

When I was in my 20s here I felt the *exact* same way - I feel like a nastier person just starting to living here - specifically with regard to driving.  When I'm not driving and people aren't in their cars, they seem just fine.[/quote]

24YO here again, does it get better? I'm exhausted from having to be a dick all day to keep up with everyone else's nasty attitudes and rudeness. I'm considering moving just bc it tires me out and I don't want to live like this. [/quote]

You get used to it, and you learn to ignore it or laugh at it or move onward and upward without the antagonist, whichever suits you.  The locals will try to claim that it is you, or "bloom where you are planted" or that "you can't hack it" (the abuse they were given as a child, essentially) or some other such nonsense.  In other words, the locals know it is them. Like I said, ignore it or laugh at it or move onward and upward, leaving the antagonist in the dust.  They are easily bothered, probably abused themselves (at work or home) and don't know how to be happy.  Not your problem.[/quote]
