Default Things that used to bug me...

... but now they don't.

- people who drive the speed limit
- residential streets
- high gas prices
- getting stuck in slow-moving traffic
- interstates going through metropolitan areas with "reduced speed ahead"
- senior drivers (okay, I'm not that extreme, but they do bother me less than they used to)
- driving through L.A. (sometimes the right kind of slow-and-go can yield great MPG)

And I'm sure I've forgotten the best ones :-)

Default Re: Things that used to bug me...

I still get annoyed with slow-moving traffic. Instead of a 30 minute commute, it takes me 45 minutes. Slow-moving traffic makes me late for work, makes my boss unhappy, and that ruins my day.

I'd like to see more workers allowed to telecommute, so people don't need to drive.

Default Re: Things that used to bug me...

I agree with you Troy. However, I have noticed that my frustration at traffic is at least partially offset by the fact that I am getting better mileage.

Of course, if the flow of the slow-moving traffic is such that it is causing me to get *worse* mileage... that's when the cartoonish red-face whistle-out-of-the-top-of-my-head eyes-popping-out-of-the-sockets persona begins to take over.
