I hate traffic jams. I don't mind having to go slow but I absolutely despise the constant stop-starting.

Every day I go to work there is a traffic jam. I'm not exaggerating. Literally every day. It's pretty much the worst thing about my daily life. I try to find ways around it, but I usually can't and all I can do is sit there and try not to let it get to me.

Like Ayseli said, I'm usually pretty alright with it when I don't have somewhere to be. I love being able to listen to my music more and sing aloud to the lyrics. Now when I do have somewhere to be, a complete 180 occurs. I'm very on edge, vocal about every little thing and constantly yelling at the cars in front of me, warranted or not. To avoid this, I try to leave 10-15 minutes earlier to account for the traffic but thats not always possible.

I've been in a few, and I tend to deal with them...very impatiently...

"Come on, why won't you go already? Goooooo. Rrrgh."

Or at least, that's what I'll be grumbling about to myself while I try to relax and just wait it out.

Ah ha ha.

Maybe. :'D I may have let out some choice words before, depending on how annoyed I am at said traffic jam.

I live on I-45 every weekend. Construction between the Beltway and NASA Parkway has caused the highway to close every now and again. Also people don't know how to drive.

If I'm in a traffic jam, I knew it was coming, since I have to deliberately drive to places that experience them. My normal commute simply doesn't have any. The heaviest traffic normally gets where I live is either just heavy traffic that's moving at the speed limit with no breaks in the traffic to slip in or across the traffic (moving at ~60 MPH or higher), or backups caused by a single traffic choke point.

I hate traffic jams.. I also hate when a light turns green and dumbass at the front waits til it turns yellow to go. Sometimes I want to get a tank and drive it on the road... Bet these psyduckers would move then.
You know, would not be surprised if they still didn't move.

This! plus traffic jams make the worst drivers out of people which just exacerbates the situation, people get cut up, people forget the rules. The description above is me to a tee when I'm driving.

There are a few schools around my area, so traffic jams usually occur when they are just opening or finishing for the day. I don't really mind traffic jams as much, just irritating when people from one lane cut in front without warning.

Dude you don't even know how crazy the traffic is here, it's psyducking nuts!
I live in the suburbs of Chicago but still, it's enough to be classified as Chicago since we got criminals from the Chi and traffic can be really hectic. Chicago is insanity man, never drive through there unless you absolutely have to.

Personally I subscribe to the school of thought that believes the prescence of other cars on the road are unnecessary because all they amount to are road cloggers and potential accidents.

So I dislike traffic, but only because I hate the fact other drivers exist.

Weird school, but once you get into a couple of accidents all driving is it potential risk because of other cars.
