Traffic jam

My worst nightmare: Traffic jam. Waiting for hours to drive just a few miles. Nothing is worse than when you're in hurry and you should be at your destination in 10 minutes but you're already late.
The stress makes it all even worse. All you can see is hopeless drivers which have got their license from an automat or at least it looks that way. I hear myself calling people idiots, shit heads and all those words I never use, but in traffic there are no excuses: It all just comes out from my mouth. I can see myself giving a finger, clenching  my fist while changing a lane, and it doesn't help at all because the traffic lights are red anyway. 


My head is almost exploring when I'm looking the digital watch in my car. Still a few hundred meters to go...I'm almost there. My heart falls back into the normal rythm as soon as I stop the car in the parking line. I'm taking a deep breath. Can it be right that I'm the only competent driver in this country? Well, I guess the others say the same...
