I've made it a priority to not drive in traffic. It's been wonderful for my stress levels.Anybody who doesn't swear profusely at other drivers is either lying or one of those f#ckin' idiots that doesn't know how to drive
Did you just say F**k?.... No, papa.

I don't have that luxury.
Oddly, I drove in actual traffic when I lived in California and didn't have nearly the same frustrations as I have in Nebraska. 100x the number of cars on the road, but people had a sense of purpose and didn't lollygag around. In Nebraska, nobody seems to have a schedule, or a time to be anywhere. They're in that car and they can get where they're going in 10 minutes, 20 minutes... whatever. No urgency at all.

Ha. I understand your frustration with people who apparently have no better place to be. After 20 years, I'm still trying to figure out a way to shave even 1 minute off my commute time to and from work. Unfortunately the traffic just keeps getting worse and worse around here. Luckily most of that additional traffic wants to get somewhere but there's still too many whose only purpose is to delay the rest of us.

And the weird thing is, I really like driving. It can be so fun if you don't have to interact with asshats all the time. I'm the first person to check my mirror for faster-moving cars and pull over. I'm the guy who lets you in when merging. I give "the wave" every time. Most people are pretty OK. There are just enough idiots on Nebraska roads (looking at you, 3, 6 & 16 county drivers) that they make it a chore to get anywhere.

For those of you who have never experienced what Knapp is describing, go to CA and run up and down 5/105. Yes, crazy a$$ fast drivers, motorcyclist tapping the rear of your car as they drive between the lines, but everyone is trying to get home to spend time with their family.
I swear, a majority Midwestern drivers have no clue what lane they should be in while they are putting on their makeup!

Haven't been to Nebraska in a while. Do they have the alternating passing lanes on the highways yet? Those things are fantastic..... f'ing fantastic, even.

BB; we have had those for along time. They call them f'ing Medians, f'ing shoulders and f'ing ditches.
How they alternate as passing lanes really is tricky however. Ultimately; which ever direction the a$$ holes are driving, will determine what alternate passing lane they drive in.
