Yes, I absolutely hate traffic. To minimize the impact to myself, I get to work very early in the morning and leave early. It makes it more manageable. It's a shame that I have to arrange my daily schedule based on traffic. Heavy traffic is one reason why I will be moving to a very rural area in the next couple of years.

you forgot the choice of no, traffic does not stress me out because i live in a city and take public transit/a bike/walk everywhere.

just because you live in a city doesn't mean that you have to "deal with" traffic.

I live in a medium city but the traffic can be annoying at times but for the most part is never horrible.

I am used to Bad Traffic SO BRING IT ON!!!

even though i live near Indianapolis,In which 98% traffic is very light compared similiar or SMALLER cities. but if there is a accident that forces a closure of a interstate(which happens alot in rural areas of the state) you better believe in Darwinism because only the fittest survive!

Where's the choice for the millions of us who just take a train or express bus to work every day and could care less about "traffic"

Well while I'm sitting in traffic the voices come to me
like the ones some postal workers hear.

YEAH traffic sucks the only thing worse is sitting next
some of the freaks I remember who rode public transportation.
I swear I always end up next to the stinky facial pin cushion
crack showing out of their freaking mind freak show.

Primarily I hate the bad driving habits of the people in a lot of cities. Kansas City is a perfect example. Horrible tailgating whether you are stopped at a light or driving on the highway, no turn signals being used, clogging up the passing lane on the highway, people driving in your blind spot on the highway and then mirroring your every move when you try to slow down or speed up to get them out of your blind spot and brain dead jerks that don't take a right turn on red because they are busy talking on the cell phone or just not paying attention to the lack of traffic.
