I don't know what percentage of drivers actually stress out over obstacles to their travel plan. Personally, I do curse other asshat drivers as well as traffic engineering in general. For example, if I and a number of cars get a red light and have to stop, in order to allow like ONE car to proceed or some bike rider to cross, I cuss the government fools who fail to design a better system. "Damn red lights!" I will bark, all by my little self in my little car. Then I eventually get where I'm going and everything's fine. So... Today I was driving to work and somehow traffic was pretty light going my direction. In the distance was a pretty large intersection and my light was red. As I approached, my light turned green. I was the only car going my way as far as I could see. But crossing traffic was heavy, and I noticed as I crossed the intersection, about twenty cars stacked up at their red light while I sailed right on through. Then it hit me. I really should be consistent here. Now I'M the one holding up progress. What am I? Special? So I did the proper thing and cussed my own green light. It was the right thing to do. Now I always make a point to cuss all the green lights I am fortunate enough to drive through. True, now I am cussing all lights, both green and red, but I have to be consistent and fair, so as to set a good example for my kids. Makes sense, right?

Turn the entire system over to the crosswalk crossing guard people... They seem to have it down!!!
