3. I hate traffic. I can't stand it. Nothing frustrates me more than sitting in a line of cars waiting to move 10 feet. Same goes for waiting in line at a store. I hate waiting. Maybe I just have a patience problem. It's definitely something I think about, and want to improve about myself but I find myself getting caught up in the moment and losing patience.

Slight threadjack:
I'm driving home from school today down a four-lane major street in a semi-residential area. I am in the left lane, and slightly ahead of me in the right lane is another car. We are both going 35-40 mph. He is far enough ahead of me that he could easily move into my lane without any nuisance to me at all. I notice up ahead, there are a bunch of cars parked on the street in the right lane. Given how far ahead of me the other guy is, I expect him to change lanes but he doesn't, so I figure he's turning or something. Instead, he waits until the last possible second before hitting the parked cars, slams on brakes, and swerves into my lane, forcing me to slam on brakes. I lay on the horn for a couple seconds, and he flips me off. Noting that I don't have any hand grenades or automatic weapons with me, what's my play?
