I had to drive to and from an appointment twice today (drop off and pick up)(not a school) and I faced like… A dozen moments of aggression from other drivers. From being cut off, to being blocked from merging. Some dangerous, others harmless. Just a dozen pointless but intentionally rude moments. Usually I’m getting tailed on the road by huge trucks with bright lights, but today I was spared from that, so that’s kne thing to be grateful for. Fuck cars. I’m so done with driving, I haven’t been doing it for a decade yet and I’m exhausted with it.

        Not by choice 😂 I’m lucky to be retired early and have a bus system that gets me where I need to go. I’ll get another car when I can but I plan to still bus around for some stuff if I do.

        We recently got amtrak back where I live, booked ahead of time (prices increase as the train fills up) I can DC for $30 round trip and nyc for $60 round trip. On my last nyc trip coming back, I was set up in the Cafe car on my laptop and chatting with people - one by one 3 of us busted our respective liquors out offering them around and made a party of it.

        Can’t do that on the highway 🤷
