{ 12 Crap Things About Commuting }

01. Dumb-ass classic rock DJs vs. inane 'soft rock' radio personalities
02. Ford truck with American flag window cling covering the back window
03. Dude in Buick with sporty mirror-shades and mullet checking me out, grinning
04. Temporary lack of car insurance + sudden preponderance of brake lights = peed pants
05. Getting cut off by Lexus with 'RSK TKR' license plate
06. Getting cut off by Jeep with 'JRZ GRL' license plate
07. Lack of good highway eatin' (not even any good coffee)
08. Torturous, unending, terrifying sleepiness
09. 25 minutes of stop-and-go because somebody pulled over to take a piss
10. Once-adorable woodland animals run over by 5000-pound SUVs
11. Really funny things thought of, only to be forgotten upon getting home
12. Thoughts of corporate slavery, urge to keep driving into the wilderness

#8, plus the gut-wrenching wake-up after your head nods, plagued my commute. Never been checked out by a Buick-wielding mullet man, so I guess I haven't experienced the full horror, but there's always hope.

What about commuting on public transportation? You don't even get the radio personalities, and the guy with the mullet and mustache is sitting right next to you...

or he's sitting across from you, leering and trying to look up your skirt...
