But what surprised me was what the readers wanted to do to these offenders. Many of these punishments were creative and some even cruel and unusual in a humorous way. This article made me realize that these pet peeves ere more common than I thought and had reassured myself that I am not crazy. I also found this article using U.H. Manoa Uncover in the Social Psychology reference. This article deals with the different ways different people cope with being stuck in traffic.
People go through ridiculous length coping with traffic.
Some take not so short shortcuts to avoid being stuck in traffic jams. Most of the time these drivers spend as much time avoiding these traffic jams as they would being in them. But when interviewed, these drivers felt they were more in control because they were moving. Moving took away that helpless feeling they felt being stuck in traffic. Other drivers crate little wars with the drivers beside them so that they can compete with them and see how far that they have progressed counting every inch.
