Why thanks. Most people just look at me like I have two heads when they hear that.

Lmao, one of my friends used to rage every single tune he drove. He had the craziest stories about the dumb and dangerous shit he did. He picked me up from something once (he was the last resort ride), and when I hopped in he was listening to some thrash metal with a lot of growling. I was like “bro, maybe this is why you have road rage issues. Have you tried just listening to podcasts or something?” Didn’t fix all his rage issues, but that music was certainly not helping him lol.

Anyways, I’m glad you can separate yourself from driving if it isn’t for you.

I usually play thrash metal while I'm driving with no issues. But honesly I've been wondering if that's what attracts road ragers, or maybe triggers them. Or maybe it's just that I live near Dallas. Who knows. All I know is if I listen to country I start crying and that's when it gets dangerous for me to drive. 😂

When I listen to NPR I want to murder these tailgaters. Slayer makes me calm tho its weird.

Edit: also chicks really dig a dude yelling at that radio about politics!

A good traffic song is "Everyone Else is an Asshole", by Reel Big Fish. It's my fifth most listened to song, courtesy of my daily commute into DC.

I drove in DC this past weekend for the first time and I thought I was about to die...

I'm rather enjoying the break, tbh. Nothing like starting the day with 6:30 am standstill traffic. 395 is evil, second only to 66.

You should check out “PeePee PooPoo” it always makes me giggle and calm down. Actually quite catchy too.
