have you ever been stuck somewhere because of a traffic jam/public transport delays, when you're already late for an appointment/meeting?

this happened to me once, but it was a free ride, so it wasn't a big thing really.

it is worse when the appointment is a very important one.

And then the people in front of you are driving slowly.

As I rely on Chicago's public transportation system for all of my intra-city traveling needs, yes. All the time. The worst is when I'm cutting it really, really close and if the CTA worked the way it should have, I would be on time, but then there is a delay and I am thus late and I can't say "Oh, it was the trains!" because if I'd left ten minutes earlier, like I should have to allow for the inevitability of transit delays, I would have been on time.

I still blame it on the trains that were stalling, stalling. Yeah yeah.

GIVE NORMAL SERVICE A CHANCE

why don't they just make roads that don't need repairs, DUH

― Shadowcat (A-Ron Hubbard), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:05 (nineteen years ago)

if nobody drove then we wouldn't have traffic jams and we could drive to our appointments and get there on time

that's the kind of good advice that people just didn't take :(

― ken c (ken c), Tuesday, 20 February 2007 17:31 (nineteen years ago)

this happens to me every day
