People traveling four or five car lengths behind other cars, looking up at the road every few seconds totally unaware of what's going on around them. Every day I have to honk at someone who doesn't proceed when the light turns green because they're on their phone. Ridiculous.

Then you linger in the left lane, even though you have to be in the right lane, and then try to cross 2 lanes of GW Parkway at the last minute so you can get on 395. And you live in a bubble of your own narcissism against keeping the road moving.
I already have to leave 20 minutes earlier on Wednesday (and 10-15 earlier on Tues/Thurs) to compensate for your ineptitude. And no, it isn't just the volume of cars - you hybrid commuters are utterly mindless behind the wheel.
Mondays and Fridays, traffic is a piece of cake, because M-F commuters know you're too delicate to clothe yourselves on the weekend bookends.
Amen. RIP the Covid commute..
Truth. It was beautiful while it lasted. Especially 2021.
As a healthcare worker, March-December 2020 commute was AMAZING. NO ONE was on the roads. My normal 75m commute was just under 30m.

You may need to get some bigger pants.
They fit great, thanks. I don't commute, but I wear nice ones. Use your non-commuting time to work on your writing.
