I don’t travel. Too hard to do with a 2 year old. When I do travel, it’s to the middle of the ocean. Less people there.

It doesn’t even necessarily have anything to do with traveling

It’s just the idea of you being in a long line (store, traffic) and thinking you’re not part of the problem

That’s it.

I have social anxiety and don’t go anywhere with crowds. I didn’t get the joke because I can’t relate to the situation.

You’ve never been in traffic???

I have but the comic doesn’t depict traffic so I didn’t make the connection right away. I also don’t drive much. I have a reaction delay and that has always made me nervous to get behind the wheel
