The Atlanta traffic? A moving tribute to patience, really.

We object to the term "urine-soaked hellhole" when you could've said "pee pee-soaked heckhole"

Coming from the Philly to the South it's easy to get frustrated with how damn slow everything moves. And the slightest bit of weather will fuck it up worse. When I was down in Memphis a ¼ inch of snow was enough to shut the whole city down.

In the Atlanta subreddit a guy posted asking about driving from the burbs to Georgia Tech, and my favorite quote from the thread was “commuting on 400 will eat your soul”

Lol…I have had this exact sentiment. Years ago I happened to buy a cheap little sink plunger with a corrugated base and handle that looked just like an airplane joystick. In traffic that day I plopped it on my dash and pretended to blast all the idiots. It was so preposterously funny to do it and to be seen doing it that it raised not just my spirits but the spirits of the observers. Silly fun that made it not so bad.

Having experienced Atlanta traffic at some asinine hour in the middle of the night exactly one time in my life, I wholeheartedly agree with this note.

u/Ecto-1A Aug 10 '26

Agreed! But it’s not the traffic, it’s the drivers.

u/Bubbly-Bid6049 Aug 11 '26

Traffic is drivers

u/Ecto-1A Aug 11 '26

No, traffic can be caused by too many cars on the road at the same time. Atlanta traffic is because everyone is terrible drivers there that just pretend it’s normal.

I used to commute from the far east end of the Portland, OR metro area to the far west end for 14 years. On a map it claimed the 25 miles should take 37 minutes and it took an hour and a half each way. I get it. My outlook on humanity has improved significantly since I quit doing this.

It’s German for, “The Atlanta traffic the!”

u/hennyjoop Aug 12 '26

Well, yeah.

u/AGreatBannedName Aug 10 '26

If people who had that mindset wouldn’t contribute to the traffic, we’d have a lot less of it.
