I feel this. I can be the most empathetic person in the world. Unless I’m driving.
Be kind, everyone

Me too. I’m the go to therapist for my friends and frequently get accused of being too understanding of the ‘other side’ (not in a obtuse way, even when I’m explaining situations I have been in). And then I throw V’s and fingers and yell out my passenger side window when you’re an obnoxious jerk forgetting to indicate or sitting in the middle of a lane, without hazards, blocking traffic. God my BP is rising just typing this comment.

I’m very glad my daughter is now old enough that I can call people fucking assholes in the car when they’re being fucking assholes in their cars.

Same energy as the shopping cart theorem. One of the few good things that came out of 4chan.
outdated_belated@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
Hmm
To return the shopping cart is an easy, convenient task and one which we all recognize as correct, the appropriate thing to do
to be fair, productivity is divorced from wellbeing under the current system (i.e., automation lowers wages/ removes jobs), and so creating work for an employee (i.e., the Keynesian “digging holes in the ground and filling them back up”) is not an insane position.
Selmafudd@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, I’ve automated parts of my job for at least the last 15 years and never have I showed a boss or colleague, if they knew I’d either get more work from the boss or a colleague would steal it when they leave and soon every fucker would be using it
DirkMcCallahan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, to be fair, I don’t care what you’re going through; if you run a stop sign and nearly T-bone me, then fuck you.

Am I the only one bothered by that slanted hyphen?
ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Arrrrg it’s not even the same angle as the horizontal part of the ‘e’.

Feeling called out here!
At least they can't hear me cuss at them, but that might not make it better.

And this is why i avoid traffic :)
Very rare to get angry when walking, biking, or using public transport. Generally it just makes me happier.

I take it you’ve never been to Amsterdam? Lots of screaming and bell ringing to get the hell out of the locals way 😂
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Do you live in a big city? In Manhattan I’m constantly angry while I’m outside my home.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year ago
Well i mean you can’t avoid traffic in manhattan so that just proves my thesis.
Where i live you can just ignore the roads 90% of the time if you’re not in one yourself.

You’ve clearly never ridden the New York subway during rush hour.

Two things, one is a quote from my father and one is from George Carlin.
“If you don’t get angry whole driving you’re probably the problem”
“Anyone driving slower than you is an idiot and anyone driving faster than you is a maniac”
